X Factor Louis Walsh Admitted That The Judges Houses Used Are Not Theirs

Apparently Louis Walsh has admitted that the ‘judges’ houses’ that were shown on the last episode of The X Factor were not really theirs.

Last week we all saw 24 contestants travel to four different places where their mentors were said to live, before each judge chose the final three for each of the categories.

The groups visited Simon Cowell in Marbella, the boys went to see Dannii Minogue in Ibiza, and the girls flew to Los Angeles to meet Sharon Osbourne, while the Over-25s were taken to Dublin by Louis Walsh.

But on the Graham Norton Show Louis revealed that the houses featured did not belong to any of the judges. He said “That wasn’t my house. That wasn’t Sharon’s house or Dannii’s house or Simon’s house either. Sharon sold her house to Christina Aguilera, so that was a rented house. Mine was a rented house. I wouldn’t have had all that rubbish in my house - the stuff on the walls and the lights and all that.”

A spokesperson for the ITV show said: “The contestants are invited to a house. We call them the judges’ houses, not the judges’ homes. We have never said they are the judges’ real homes and it has been this way for the past four years.”

Did you always think that they were the judge’s homes I did?
