Louis Walsh Blames SiCo For Stereo Kicks

The X Factor judge passes the buck to show boss over eight-member boy band...

After catching some heat from Simon Cowell on last night's X Factor results show about enormous boy band Stereo Kicks, Louis Walsh has returned fire at his boss.

Speaking backstage to Sarah-Jane Crawford on The Xtra Factor after the show, the veteran pop manager got his whinge on regarding SiCo's comments.

"I've had a bad night," he grumbled. "You know what, Simon said to me I didn't connect with the band.

"Simon Cowell is the person that made this band an eight-piece. He is the person."

And he didn't stop there either, clearly having a lot of resentment to get off his chest.

"Eight never worked in a boyband, but he put eight people together," Louis continued. "Then he starts blaming me on live TV.

"I wouldn't have eight people - I never wanted eight people in the band."

And he hinted that changes may be afoot after the group found themselves in the sing-off last night.

"So I'll have to talk to the boys. I wouldn't change anybody but I'll talk to the boys and see if they want to do anything.

"The way he said I didn't connect with them, I really work with them, they're always in my dressing room."
