'Troublemaker': X Factor judge Louis Walsh says Cher Lloyd is 'as miserable and moody as she looks'
Louis Walsh has launched an incredible attack on X Factor contestant Cher Lloyd, insisting the 17-year-old is 'as miserable and moody as she looks'.
The show's judge said Cher is causing trouble in the house and on the programme, and, that reports of diva-like behaviour are true.
He told Closer magazine: 'I've heard rumblings of what is going on in the house - there's a lot of parties... But Cher is definitely the out of control one!
'She causes a lot of trouble. She's as miserable and moody as she looks.'
Controversial: Former contestant Treyc Cohen also said the 17-year-old plays 'mind games' on her fellow contestants
Louis's comments will no doubt widen the rift between the judge and Simon, who last week threatened to have him removed from the building after his critical comments on the show.
And Cher's mentor Cheryl Cole is similarly bound to be unimpressed, especially after they appeared to be having a heated discussion after last week's results show.
He has accused the singer of favouritism, choosing Cher - who she has likened to herself - over talented singers in her group like Rebecca, a sentiment echoed by former finalist Treyc Cohen.
Louis claimed Cher is starting to get an ego through the stories appearing about her in the press.
He added to Heat magazine: 'Cher is believing her own publicity, which is a big mistake. I don’t get any warmth from her.
'She needs to learn to be nice to everybody - because you’ll meet them on the way down.'
He continued: 'I couldn't work with Cher. She thinks she's going to be an overnight success, and because she listens to American R&B she's picked up all these weird musical things and makes funny faces.
'There's no likeability there.'
And Louis even said he believes Cher's mentor Cheryl Cole is guilty of favouritism when it comes to her teenage mini-me.
He said: 'I think Cheryl should put in more effort with Rebecca. I think Rebecca feels a little bit let down - you can tell that Cher is Cheryl's favourite.'
Louis isn't the only one to reveal his true feelings about the teenage singer, who has been wowing viewers with her incredible voice and rapping ability.
Treyc Cohen, who was voted off the show instead of Katie Waissel two weeks ago, said Cher is fond of playing 'mind games' on her fellow contestants.
She told Heat magazine: 'Cher knows what she wants and how to get her own way. Sometimes she'd try to make out she'd got her way even if she hadn't - she played mind games.
Favouritism: Louis has accused Cheryl of neglecting Rebecca Ferguson, who has emerged as a stunning talent, in favour both Katie Waissel and Cher
'She'd make out she'd spoken to Cheryl on a few occasions, when I knew she hadn't. If there were reports Cheryl had been shopping for her, Cher wouldn't deny them even if they weren't true.
'She'd get the most freebies and would make out she was the most special.'
But despite the differing views on Cheryl, there is no denying that she would cause a stir in the music industry if she were to release a record.
And former X Factor contestants JLS have already revealed their desire to collaborate with the pint-sized pop star.
JLS singer Marvin Humes said: 'Cher is unique. There is nobody like her. I think she’d work well with us.'
Marvin's bandmate Aston Merrigold added: 'I think the same, 100 per cent. It would be fantastic.'
