X Factor Judges “Barely Speaking”

It seems Louis Walsh is the odd one out on The X Factor panel as reports this morning claim that the other three judges are hardly speaking to him. According to Now magazine Simon Cowell, Mel B and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini are a bit fed up with the long-standing mentor. A source told the publication: “The three judges are barely speaking to Louis right now. Simon’s sick of him winding everyone up and tensions have been mounting for weeks.” The insider added: “Cheryl and Mel keep saying they’re not sure they can put up with him for the rest of the series. “Simon reminds them they only have until Christmas, but he also finds it hard not to lose his cool over Louis’ attitude.” Most recently, Louis wound Mel up when he sent the vote between Paul Akister and Jay James to the deadlock. This led to Paul, Mel’s act, being sent home. Wonder what Louis thinks of this whole thing…
