X Factor 2012 auditions: Judges pick on Louis Walsh... and his new hair!

Louis Walsh

X Factor judge Louis Walsh has been getting a tough time at auditions in London today.

The Irish music mogul has been the butt of jokes from the other judges… over his new hair style!

Louis admitted last December that he had undergone a £30,000 hair transplant, and the results have been on show for everyone to see.

His fellow X Factor 2012 judge Tulisa quipped on Twitter this afternoon: “Louis is like a naughty little skool boy today. it must be his new hair….LOL t.”

Speaking about his new hair recently, Louis said: “I could have just left it and got on with things but with TV today, everything is in high definition and people notice every little thing.

“And if you’re getting on, and you’re on TV with a lot of young people, you have to look after yourself. So I thought ‘I don’t want a bald spot. I’m going to get this sorted’”.

Gary Barlow meanwhile has been encouraging the audience too boo Louis… because he loves it so much!

Although with some of his comments to the contestants, the audience didn’t particular need much encouragement.

As well as trotting out his faovurite line about people’s pets, Louis was also on fine form with some of his wacky comparisons.

He told one singer that they were reminded him of Pete Burns and Cher, while another was compared to Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles by the Irish music manager.

The X Factor auditions continue in London on Monday. The show airs on ITV1 in August.
