Kimberley Walsh: 'Louis needs to be quiet'

Kimberley Walsh has hit back at Louis Walsh over comments he made about Cher Lloyd.

The 'Like You Like' singer, who regularly supports her Girls Aloud bandmate Cheryl Cole at The X Factor, called on Louis to "stop talking".

The judge previously claimed that Cher is "out of control" and described her as being "miserable and moody" - something Walsh disagreed with in her latest Ok column.

"Louis Walsh has apparently called her 'miserable and moody' but every time I've met her she's been lovely," she wrote. "Louis just needs to stop talking really.

"Every time I seem him I'm like: 'Will you just stop!'"

She added: "But bless him, he can't help himself."

However, Walsh insisted that Cole will sort the Irish judge out.

"If he has said anything out of order, Cheryl will put him in his place!" she said.
