Louis Walsh has hit out at Cher Lloyd once more, saying that he finds it hard to like the young singer.
The X Factor judge was speaking on Rte Radio One when he admitted that he likes of all the other female contestants more than the 17 year old Cheryl Cole wannabe.
Louis told Derek Mooney:
She’s not the most likeable of contestants. I don’t like her as much as I like the other girls.
He added:
I didn’t like Katie at the start either but I got to know her, she came into my dressing room as well and we became really good friends. She was a great fighter and a great trouper, despite not having a great first audition with me, in the end, I loved her.
On who he thinks will succeed after the show and who will land a big money record deal,...

X Factor contestant Mary Byrne has admitted that she wasn’t surprised to be in the bottom two on Sunday night’s show.
The Dublin singer found herself in the sing off against fellow over 28s singer Wagner Carillho on the results show, but was unanimously saved by all four judges.
Speaking on The Derek Mooney show yesterday about singing Shirley Bassey’s ‘This Is My Life’ for the panel, Mary admitted:
I was kind of glad to be in the bottom two to see how the others felt. I was also glad to get the chance to sing that song, because that is such a beautiful song and I had to put everything I had into it and I enjoyed it so much.
I was expecting it because of how the votes had been going and I didn’t mind, because I knew, that I still had the vote...

X Factor contestant Mary Byrne has revealed that she will sing ‘The Way We Were’ on this Saturday’s live show.
The Dublin mum of one was speaking on The Derek Mooney Show yesterday, when she admitted that she will take on the 1973 song form the 1973 movie ‘The Way We Were,’ starring Barbara Streisand and Robert Redford.
Her revelation has sparked rumours that the semi final theme may be Movie Week. Brian Friedman previously revealed that each contestant will once again take on two songs and at least on will be upbeat, so Mary will also be rehearsing another big dance number this week.
Speaking about the song choice, Mary revealed that she will be singing the ‘Gladys Knight’ version and added:
The nerves have subsided but the anxiety is setting in. I’m worried about will I be able to get these songs together, will I be able to...

Mary Byrne has revealed that she’s decided to stay in the X Factor house.
Derek Mooney on his RTÉ radio show, the Dublin mum of one admitted that her mentor Louis Walsh had suggested moving her to a hotel at one point, because the younger contestants were being so rowdy at home, but she’s decided to stay put. She said:
“They are great kids and I love living there. Louis just thought I wasn’t getting enough rest so he decided if I wasn’t getting enough rest he was going to put me in a hotel room, but I thought that would be very, very boring so I decided to stay where I am.”
Louis previously told The Sun:
“There’s lots of noise there and she can’t sleep properly. It’s starting to affect her singing.”
He added: “If things continue, I’m going to...

Mary Byrne has revealed her song choice for this week’s live X Factor show.
The Dublin mum of one was speaking to Rte Radio when she admitted that Louis Walsh has chosen Faith Hill’s ‘There You’ll Be’ for this Saturday.
Speaking to Derek Mooney on his RTÉ radio show she said: “It will be a new ballad, not an old ballad. It’s beautiful song and it’s very touching. That’s all I can say. If I can put it across the way I put across my old ballads the whole of Ireland and myself will be crying.”
Although she insisted that she wasn’t allowed to divulge the song title before Saturday, when guest Tommy Fleming guessed the song would be There You’ll Be, Mary admitted “Yes”.
