'X Factor' Louis Walsh reignites Bruce Forsyth feud: 'Give up, Brucie'

Louis Walsh has reignited his feud with BBC entertainment icon Sir Bruce Forsyth, claiming that the Strictly presenter should have already retired from showbiz.

Walsh has previously claimed that Forsyth "shouldn't even be alive" and that he should "bow out gracefully" and "go home to sit on his sofa and drink Horlicks".

In a new interview with the Radio Times, Walsh made another dig at the 84-year-old, commenting; "My ambition's to get to 10 years [on The X Factor]. After that we'll see.

"I don't want to be like Brucie. I'll know when it's time to give it up."

Walsh also took a swipe at Sir Tom Jones and The Voice UK, claiming that the Welsh singer looked "lost".

Forsyth usually mocks Walsh and The X Factor during his warm-up act for Strictly, branding the Irish music mogul a "jumped-up karaoke judge" and the ITV talent show a "fireworks display".

The X Factor returns on Saturday, August 18 at 8pm on ITV1.
