Louis Walsh has revealed Simon Cowell hasn’t reached out to him after he left Celebrity Big Brother
The 71-year-old music mogul lashed out at his former 'X Factor' co-judge on the ITV reality show after claiming he had sabotaged his chances of winning the 2008 series of the talent programme, and now he has insisted they haven't spoken since the show came to an end over the weekend.
During an appearance on ITV's 'This Morning', presenter Ben Shepard asked: "Has Simon been in touch?"
Louis bluntly replied: "No."
In the reality programme, the music mogul bashed the 'Britain's Got Talent' producer and alleged he had cheated him out of a victory on 'The X Factor' by getting Beyonce to perform with judge Cheryl Cole's act Alexandra Burke.
He said: "We [the judges] took it so ... serious, and we all wanted to win.
"We were pretending it was about the show, we all wanted to win. And we were all trying to upstage each other with songs and performance.
"I really have to breathe for this, because we took it so seriously. We were in the final and it was [Cheryl's act] Alexandra Burke and [Louis' act] JLS so I thought I'm gonna get Westlife, we’ll do ‘Flying without wings’ and divvy it up between them, dah de dah de dah.
"Simon loved Cheryl, what did he do? He got her Beyonce, it was all over ... Cheryl was, she was kinda smug with me, I wanted to beat her as well."
Louis had previously fallen out with Cheryl too when he was managing her band Girls Aloud, but has since put the feud to bed.
He explained: "She’s not perfect but she’s nice. She’s a good girl, she’s good.
"She’s had a lot of negativity but I like her. She doesn’t know that, I like her more than she likes me."
