Louis Walsh: 'I'm Disappointed In Union J'

Louis Walsh has admitted that he has been disappointed by the relative lack of success for Union J.

The veteran talent show judge and pop manager - who earlier this week tore a strip off James Arthur - got onto the subject in an interview with Digital Spy.

Asked if he'd be wearing a onesie this year, he replied: "I never wear a onesie. I just did that last year to get votes for Union J."

And he then moved on to offer his assessment of the boy band's career so far.

"They're doing okay. I thought they would have been a little bit bigger. I think give them a bit more time... to grow."

He also revealed that he is planning to launch a new boy band to follow in the footsteps of Irish acts Boyzone and Westlife.

"They're just five boys, Irish. No name [yet], nothing," he said.

But he teased that their debut single will be out "in a few months' time".
