Louis Walsh has claimed that he was given the boot from The X Factor because of age discrimination. Honestly! You'd think he was 86 years old or something! He's not is he? Anyway, that's what he's saying and he wasn't happy about it one bit. However, the old tart is having the last laugh now!
Walsh said that he was "devastated" when he received a phone call telling him that producers no longer wanted him on the show.
He told Glamour: "I was sacked - that's the truth of it. And I was devastated. When I got the phone call I felt like I'd been run over by a train.
"I just wasn't prepared for it. ITV wanted to make it younger, and so they axed me. It was like a public execution. It honestly was the worst thing that has ever happened to me."
When asked if the decision was "pure ageism", he replied: "Yes, but luckily the people who sacked me are no longer there, and I am."
Yeah. Nyeeer!
