Louis Walsh has admitted that he is not expecting any of his acts to win The X Factor this year.
The Irish judge claimed that his groups Kandy Rain, Miss Frank and John & Edward do not have a chance of triumphing in the ITV1 talent contest.
Speaking at the Pride of Britain Awards last night, Walsh commented: "I'll get into the final, but I won't win."
Discussing Simon Cowell's Over-25s category, he continued: "He always gets the best ones. They've all been round the block a fair bit. They've all got more experience than mine."
Cowell, who joined Walsh at the ceremony, criticised his co-star for not being more supportive of the bands.
He is quoted by MSN as saying: "They're not exactly going to have bags of confidence after this, are they?
"It's not a question of being spoiled for choice, it's how you prepare your contestants on the day. And I prepare my contestants better than the others."
The first X Factor live show airs on Saturday at 8pm on ITV1.
-----------------------
I can't believe that Louis is saying things like this even before the show has started.
The groups may as well go home now, what point is there in staying any longer wwhen Louis has given up on them this early.
I'm Flabbergasterated.
