Louis Walsh on X-Factor drop

Louis Walsh has described being dropped as an X-Factor judge as the worst thing in his life, saying Simon Cowell had promised to keep him on.

Louis Walsh has told the world how he felt when he got dropped as a judge from The X-Factor. He has, of course, since been reinstated.

Calling it "the worst thing that's happened in my entire life", Walsh told Piers Morgan on some TV programme called You Can't Fire Me I'm Famous: "I felt like I'd been hit by a train. I was absolutely shellshocked. I had no idea it was coming. Simon [Cowell] had said, 'As long as I'm doing this show, you're doing it with me, I promise'. I was absolutely numb. I called him every fucking thing in the world. I said, 'Why the fuck didn't you tell me? You're supposed to be a friend.' He didn't realise how devastated I was".

Ah well, all's well that ends well, and all that.
