Louis Walsh's real name is Michael Vincent, which isn't that interesting, except that the music mogul and X-Factor judge was seemingly rather embarrassed when his Mum revealed his real name while being interviewed during a warm up session for the pop talent show this weekend. A 'show insider' told the Sun: "The warm-up guy was speaking to guests to keep the audience on a high. At one point he had a chat with [Louis' Mum] Maureen. I don't know if he'd been tipped off but he decided to ask Maureen if Louis was his real name and she said it wasn't. It was hilarious, nobody could believe his real name was so ordinary. When Simon Cowell came back into the studio he admitted he had no idea of Louis's secret and thought it was brilliant. Poor Louis was a bit red-faced. He got well and truly set up by his old ma, intentionally or otherwise".
