Louis Walsh: 'All the fun has gone'

Louis Walsh has claimed that the "fun has gone" from The X Factor following John & Edward's departure.

The Irish Grimes twins were voted off the show last night after ending up in the bottom two with Simon Cowell's Over-25s act Olly Murs.

Speaking on The Xtra Factor, Walsh said: "I feel sad for the boys, but I'm happy because they had a great a run, we had great fun. They left on a high. I thought it would have been Lloyd in the bottom two. Olly so didn't deserve to be in the bottom two."

He added: "Jedward were the best of my acts this year and that's why I picked them. Kids loved them.

"All the fun has gone [now]. All the fun has gone absolutely. Talk to the young children, they are going to miss them."

The X Factor continues next Saturday at 8pm on ITV1.
