Walsh: 'Forsyth should have kept quiet'

Louis Walsh has reportedly criticised Bruce Forsyth for getting involved in the Strictly Come Dancing race row.

According to The People, the X Factor judge has suggested that the 81-year-old should have remained quiet after Anton Du Beke referred to his dance partner Laila Rouass as a "P**i".

Forsyth defended the professional dancer, saying people should not take the "slip-up" so seriously.

However, the TV presenter later released a statement saying that he does not condone the use of racist language.

The newspaper also claimed that Walsh said that Strictly Come Dancing is "finished".
