Louis Walsh was DELIGHTED The X Factor did really crap last year

Ah, Louis, we don't think he'll ever.

The manager has admitted that he was delighted the ratings from last year's X Factor dropped… as you do.

"I was checking the ratings every week and saw it was getting lower,” he told Newsbeat.

“I was delighted. I watched the show last year and I didn’t think it was as good as it used to be.

"I thought there was something missing," he added.

Yes, Louis, that missing part was you.
