Louis Walsh has admitted he won't win The X FactorX Factor judge Louis Walsh has sensationally admitted that he doesn't stand a chance of winning.

We reported yesterday that Dannii Minogue claimed the show was two horse race, boasting that she and Simon Cowell would be battling it out in the final.

Louis has been lumbered with the groups again, which he wasn't happy about, but now his acts Kandy Rain, annoying twins John and Edward and Miss Frank, will have to work with a despondent mentor.

He told The Sun: "I'll get into the final, but I won't win."

Simon blasted Louis' attitude saying: "Oh that's positive, thanks for taking part. They're not exactly going to have bags of confidence after this are they?"

Louis has confessed he would rather work with Simon's over 25 candidates. He said: "He always gets the best ones. They've all been round the block a fair bit. They've all got more experience than mine."

Simon responded to Louis saying: "It's not a question of being spoiled for choice, it's how you prepare your contestants on the day."

It's not been a good week for Louis.

Hated: John and Edward Grimes Plonkers John and Edward Grimes are not a hit with fans. 100,000 people have joined a Facebook group called We Hate John and Edward to air their disgust at the pair getting through to the finals.

Ooh we're rubbing our hands with glee here at TV Towers, it's handbags at dawn between the judges, and these spats just make the show more exciting.
