Louis Walsh

Louis takes a pop at Spice Girls

Updated 13.02 Tue Aug 14 2007

Pop guru Louis Walsh has had a go at the recently reformed Spice Girls saying they're "well past their sell-by-date".

The sharp-tongued music mogul who manages Girls Aloud said of the Spice reunion: "They're only reuniting because they have nothing better to do."

Walsh then had a dig at Victoria Beckham saying: "One's just the wife of a soccer star and the others are not on the radar."

But the former X Factor judge didn't stop there. He went on to criticise Pop Idol winner Will Young calling him pretentious.

Despite Walsh's remarks it seems there are plenty of fans who still remember the five-piece girl group, as over three million people have registered for tickets for their upcoming world tour.

Their revival tour kicks off in Vancouver in December, after which they will play cities including New York, London, Hong Kong, Sydney and Buenos Aires.
