It has to be said that the ladies of Her.ie love a bit of X Factor. However there is one thing we love more than the show itself and that is judge Louis Walsh.

The X Factor is in its tenth year, and rumours are rife that our beloved little Irishman will be leaving the hit television show at the end of the series. 

We simply cannot imagine the show without him, (and no, it’s not because he favours all the Irish contestants).

Here are 13 reasons we love Lou Lou.

Louis, we think, “you’re what this show is all about…”

 

1. Louis' facial expressions are amazing.

 

 

2. He finds it difficult to cope with one of his acts being in the bottom two...

 

3. You can almost predict what he's going to say... “You nailed it!”

 

4. He LOVES the odd boyband...

 

5. He's an emotional soul. When Louis cries, we cry. 

 

6. “I love the staging, the chorography, everything…”

 

7. The man's got rhythm...

 

8. “I loved you from your very first audition… I just hope the public pick up the phones and vote."

 

9. He claps like a seal... 

  

10. He's down with the kids...

  

11. His one-liners are phenomenal.

  

12. “There’s a gap in the market for you..” and Louis' really excited about it.

 

13. He loves the craic.
