Louis Walsh has insisted that his new boyband Hometown will soar to the top of the music charts.
The Mayo man has claimed that the boyband’s debut single will be a number one hit when released this November.
“They are signed to Sony and their first single is out in November. I’ve heard it and it will be a number one, no doubt about it,” he said.

The boyband are also set to star in the Christmas panto Aladdin – alongside their mentor Louis.
Louis told the Star that “it will be a great live show experience” for his boyband Hometown.
The X Factor judge will also star in the panto but his part will be pre-recorded.

“I’m doing my X Factor thing in the panto – I can’t reveal too much but I’ll be there in spirit and on the big screen every night,” he said.
“There’s a new comedian called Al Porter on the show and he’s one to watch, and there’s legendary Eurovision singer Linda Martin.
“There’s Simon Delaney as the Genie and there’s me – what more could you want?”
