Louis Walsh finally made his highly-anticipated return to The X Factor and fans are over the moon (pardon the pun).
The Mayo music manager appeared at the start of tonight’s X Factor final weekend, recreating the hugely popular John Lewis Christmas ad.
This time Louis played the old man on the moon, and The X Factor final was at the end of his telescope.
And it seems ITV’s idea was a huge success as fans can’t stop talking about it, some people even felt sad for him:
Louis Walsh broke my heart ? #XFactor

Louis Walsh on the moon at the start of X Factor may be the most ingenious moment of Simon Cowell's career.
