Oh Lou-Lou, what have you done?
It’s Judges’ House week on The X Factor, the point in the competition when the mentors select their final acts to go through to the live shows.
Louis Walsh is getting a lot of flak from fans over his picks – which he made with the help of Alesha Dixon and Fleur East.
Specifically, Louis is getting abuse over his decision to send viewers’ favourites, the girl group 4 of Diamonds, home and to keep novelty double-act Ottavio and Bradley.
THROUGH TO THE LIVE SHOWS KLAXON!! 🎉 #JudgesHouses #XFactor pic.twitter.com/wkwI82bTSL

4 of Diamonds seemed like a sure thing to go through – especially after delivering a storming cover of Lorde’s ‘Royals’ for their final audition.
And boy, are X Factor lovers unhappy over their departure.

4 of Diamonds were great tonight. What's wrong with Louis? Is this a joke? #JudgesHouses #LouisWalsh #XFactor

No wonder #LouisWalsh doesn't have twitter. He'd be getting absolutely slaughtered on here for those horrendous decisions 👊🏼👊🏼 #XFactor

Surely @FourOfDiamonds_ will be brought back as a wild card for live shows? Those girls were AMAZING in every way! #JudgesHouses #LouisWalsh

#XFactor is suppose to be a singing competition not an entertainment show. What a load of rubbish #LouisWalsh is rubbish at picking talent!
