Louis Walsh (born his acts have totalled 27 number one singles. He has also had bands who enjoyed mild success such as Six and Bellefire . However, his career as a pop band manager has not been all success. He has had failed acts such as The Carter Twins. His notoriety has even got him his own song - "Louis Walsh" by Irish band The Revs . Walsh has recently appeared as a judge (along with Simon Cowell and Sharon Osbourne ) on the ITV1 talent show, '' The X Factor ''. In November 2005 it was reported that Walsh quit the show mid-series out of protest regarding his treatment on the show; the most explicit example being fellow judge Osbourne drenching him with drinking water during a live recording. Many viewers were skeptical however, and regarded this merely as a publicity stunt following ''X Factor'''s low ratings compared to the BBC's '' Strictly Come Dancing '' competitor, as Walsh returned on the Saturday evening's live show, stating that he could not abandon his remaining competitor, Shayne Ward . Ward went on to win the competition with over ten million viewers voting in the final. EXTERNAL LINKS
