Yes, he's got white hair and usually wears a suit. Sounds Irish. Sits next to spicey.

I'm reading this while holding baby dd and almost dropped her from laughing so much!!!

Willie Walsh is the head of air lingus carriepenguin that's why you've seen his name in the news.
The X factor judge is louis Walsh, former manager of boyzone, west life, shane ward, girls aloud, lulu and a few more.

I kind of see your confusion but every one else is right it's Louis, it's all dermot calls him your missing hearing, Louis isn't pronouced Lewis, but Louie!

Has he used Louis as a showbiz name in the past maybe? I've heard dermot call him Willie, I'm sure the others do too, I'll find a link as I read about him in the news too.

And ianbu it's time he moved on and gave someone else a chance? No one wants to be mentored by Willie.

Carrier are you saying he's referred to as Willie Walsh in the news?!

SugarPlump · 26/10/2014 22:27

You need to wash your ears out he's been Louis Walsh since the 1980's very famous manager in Ireland!

Louis is a bit of a stage name but not for willie as these pictures prove

SugarPlump · 26/10/2014 22:28

Dermot certianly doesn't call him willie as willie Walsh is an entirely different person

CiderwithBuda · 26/10/2014 22:29

I think Willie Walso moved from Aer Lingus to Britsh Airways.

It's definitely Louis Walsh on X Factor. He is also Irish. Is responsible for Boyzone and Westlife among others.

SoonToBeSix · 26/10/2014 22:29

Louis pronounced looee

Lols!

Carrier I think a name change is in order for you so that you are never ever allowed to forget your amazing mistake.

FatAmy · 26/10/2014 22:33

Op you can't be serious?! Shock Grin

SugarPlump · 26/10/2014 22:34

Well no I suspect no one on X factor does want to be mentored by willie Walsh OP. Given that I'm not sure what willie knows about pop music. Then it's arguable wether Louis knows much either.

Maybe willie could mentor them all to fly Simons private jet Grin

JubJubBirds · 26/10/2014 22:34

(Although this was a big wind up right?)

I'm wondering who else I've referred to 'Willie on the x factor ', definitely my neighbours as they follow it every week and have a sweepstake, I know I said Willie should go, I've had enough of Willie Blush

I think he is a lot smarter than people think actually.

I love him. I am also going to call him Willie from now on.
