  • People are calling out Louis Walsh for grabbing Mel B’s bum

    People on Twitter are calling out Louis Walsh after patting her bum live on national TV.

    The clip, which has surfaced on Twitter was taken from an X Factor roundup show a few years ago and shows judge, Louis Walsh patting the former Spice Girl’s behind. The clip has been watched over 4.5 million times on the social platform.

    After Mel B calls out Walsh on why he is touching her inappropriately, Simon Cowell is seen joking to Mel,  “you’re safe” which some have found to be problematic. Louis says he was doing it to “look after” the star.

    “Why are you grabbing my butt”

    During the interview, Walsh can be seen tapping the singer’s butt while Mel B starts to look uncomfortable and looks off-screen before confronting Walsh. She then stops the interview, mid-flow and asks Walsh directly, “Why are you grabbing my butt?”.

    Walsh replies, “I’m looking after Mel.”

    Simon Cowell, whose company Syco owns the format for the show, jokes, “honestly you’re safe”.

    After Mel calls Walsh out, she physically moves herself away from Louis, before the interview continues.

    People are now calling on TV execs to remove him from TV shows and for Walsh to apologise for his actions. Unrelated, it was announced that Louis Walsh would not be returning to judge The X Factor for this year’s show.

    Many people have assumed that Walsh is gay, but in 2013 in an interview with the Sunday Times, when asked whether he was gay or straight he replied, “I can’t… Don’t go there. I can’t. I think your private life is your private life…I’m happy. Happy as Larry!”

    He’s never been married and has never publicly acknowledged anyone as a partner, however, he was spotted by one of our showbiz insiders at the Balans restaurant in South Beach, Florida, accompanied by a lovely looking tall dark and handsome type a few years back.

  • Victoria Beckham to style Mel B on X Factor?

    Oh mercy… when dreams collide. (sort of, not really)

    Now we all know that Scary AKA Mel B is going to be on this year’s UK version of XFACTOR – however she sort of dropped a mahooosive hint that perhaps style icon Victoria Beckham might be doing some business with her.

    Taking to Twitter the ex-(sometimes not ex – only if there’s an Olympics…) Spice-Girl said, ‘Watch out- we mean business ;)’ and posted a link to a picture of Victoria Beckham and herself.

    Goodness me… What does this all mean? Can you image two Spiceys on XFactor?
