EXCLUSIVE: Louis Walsh DID nearly lose all his X Factor acts in plane crash over Bermuda Triangle

Louis Walsh has admitted he did nearly lose all his X Factor acts in a plane crash over the Bermuda Triangle, admitting: “It was really bad”.

But the X Factor judge managed to avoid the fight of terror by staying another day in the sun, where he had been filming judges homes.

Previously Goss.ie told how the Mayo man’s acts – as well as presenter Dermot O’Leary – were nearly downed in the severe turbulence.

And Louis told Goss.ie that it was just as bad as had been claimed.

He said: “I wasn’t on that plane I stayed a day extra. But the plane that went home with everybody got a lot of turbulence – it was really bad.”

The TV star was joined by Tulisa as his guest judge when picking his final three acts – and feels everyone will love her.

“I had Tulisa, she’s looking great – everyone’s happy,” Louis told Goss.ie at the launch of his band Hometown’s Christmas panto Aladdin.

“I think everyone is loving the show. I think the talent is better than ever and we’re all getting on great.”

Aladdin – which also stars Simon Delaney – is coming to the Olympia Theatre over Christmas.
