LOUIS WALSH

ENTERTAINMENT MANAGER / CELEBRITY JUDGE

 

Louis Walsh, is a well-known entertainment manager and over the years has looked after bands such as Westlife, Boyzone and HomeTown. In 2010, he began his television career with Pop Stars, resulting in managing band Girls Aloud. He has been a sitting judge on the X Factor since 2005 and this year participates in the new celebrity X Factor.

“For the last five years I have been part of the Junk Kouture judging team, each year I think it can’t get any better, but each year it does! The talent and creativity of the students is mind blowing, it is hard to believe that a small country as ours can produce such incredible students. Many of the entries we see would not seem astray on the runaway of a haute couture fashion show. Our job as judges gets more and more difficult to choose the winning entry. I will be looking out for a well thought out and choreographed routine, but my winning team will have to have a performance that also reflects all aspects of their design”.
