Louis has been entertaining the nation since the early noughties and whether you're a fan or not, you have to admit he knows how to captivate an audience.

However, you won't be seeing Louis light up the Strictly Come Dancing dance floor any time soon.

Speaking to Dermot & Dave the Mayo mogul revealed the reason why he would never do Strictly Come Dancing saying, 'I can't dance and Strictly don't pay, so there's no reason to do it,' the former X Factor judge laughed.

Earlier this year, a rejig in the The X Factor UK's judging panel was announced.

When asked about what he thought of newbie judges Robbie and Ayda Williams, Louis was unusally coy, sitting on the fence a bit by saying, "I know her so I can't say anything bad."

Louis also gave his opinion on the Irish acts flying the flag on the show and he cannot contain his excitement for the second series of Ireland's Got Talent.
