Walsh jokes about Cowell's success

'The X Factor' / ITV

Louis Walsh's new book will contain a sniping joke about Simon Cowell's pop mogul success.

Walsh, also a former band manager, sarcastically features joke acts when listing those discovered by his fellow X Factor judge.

He writes: "Simon's amazing achievements include discovering Sinitta, Zig and Zag, Westlife, and Robson and Jerome.”

Sinitta is Cowell's ex-girlfriend while Zig and Zag, The Big Breakfast's puppet stars, were far from a serious pop duo.

Cowell is said not to have read Fast Track To Fame, which is due out next week, but according to The Sun, he is likely to take the joke well.

"He’ll probably see the funny side, then hit back with something about Louis," explained a source. "They love to wind each other up."
