Louis Walsh 'Storms Out Of X Factor Auditions'

After disagreeing with Simon and 'moody' Cheryl...

Louis Walsh stormed out of Monday's X Factor auditions in London after having a disagreement with fellow judges Simon Cowell and Cheryl Cole.

The argument came about when Cowell and the Girls Aloud star rejected a singer who Walsh had given a '100% yes' to.

The music mogul, who has managed successful acts Boyzone, Westlife and er, Jedward left the panel to march backstage and comfort the rejected hopeful.

An X Factor spokesman later confirmed, that despite the spat: "Louis was back in time to judge the next act."

However, audience members felt that Walsh seemed to be missing pregnant Dannii Minogue who is currently on maternity leave at this stage in the competition.

Fans present at London's ExCel Centre also revealed that Cheryl seemed 'moody' after returning from a romantic break in Tanzania with rumoured lover, Derek Hough.

One spectator told The Sun: "She is paid to be cheerful - so no excuses for looking tired."
