Louis Walsh has blasted the Fake Sheikh who was behind the collapsed drugs trial of Tulisa.
The X Factor judge admitted he was relieved when her cocaine deal charge was thrown out of court yesterday.
A British judge said there “strong grounds to believe” that Mazher Mahmood – an undercover reporter for the Sun on Sunday, known as the Fake Sheik – had “lied.”
Now Louis – who worked alongside N Dubz star Tulisa on the X Factor – has urged his pal to sue the paper.

“The whole thing was totally wrong – it was a disgrace from the start. It was entrapment. They targeted her and went out to ruin her name,” he said.
“I hope she sues and lets people know the real story on The Sun because there is more to this.”
Yesterday, the Sun suspended Mahmood before an independent investigation is carried out.
And Louis – who received a €500,000 payout after the Sun labeled him a sex attacker – said that shouldn’t be the end.
“Suspension should only be the beginning. The Fake Sheikh is the one who should be in the dock now,” he told the Star.

“He deserves jail. I really feel for Tulisa and everything she’s been through.”
And Louis admitted he is still hurt by his own experience – admitting that even €10 million compensation wouldn’t have helped.
“Ten million wouldn’t pay for the stress, the grief, the sleepless nights, the panic attacks, the mistrust of people,” he explained.
“Nothing is worth what I went through. I’m totally relieved that it’s over and I’ve been completely vindicated but I really wish to God it never happened.”
