He did not hold back.

Liam Payne was clearly very annoyed with Louis Walsh last night. So much so, that he took to Twitter to rant about The X Factor judge. It seems to have stemmed from something that happened at a press conference ahead of the final of The X Factor this weekend. Louis was asked by someone in the media about Cheryl and he replied, "f*ck off". This ignited a flurry of angry tweets from Liam where he said, "Congratulations Louis Walsh for setting the worst example on handling media for his band who are about to step into a very hard industry." He followed it with another tweet saying,"Maybe it's about time you realise it's not all about you and shut the f**k up for once, let them speak."

At the time of the interview Louis was standing beside his act, 5 After Midnight, and when the attention turned to Cheryl he was notably angry. The reporter asked if Simon would invite Cheryl back on the show and he replied, "Well Simon wouldn't invite Cheryl back because we have Nicole. We have Nicole and Sharon, we don't need another girl." He then followed it with, "So go and f**k off now... No silly questions, seriously. It's not about Cheryl. Don't be stupid, man."
