Kelly names Louis as fave judge

Kelly Osbourne has revealed her favourite X Factor judge isn't her mum - but Louis Walsh.

The 22-year-old said in a magazine: "I love Louis. Even though my mum is on there, he's my favourite.

"He's like an uncle to me. He's a very, very successful man in the music industry and knows what he's talking about. Simon was stupid to fire him."

The actress and singer also reckons Simon might be jealous of the re-instated judge "because he "knows what he's talking about".

But she added that Simon should get "more credit" for demonstrating that he was a "strong person" by bringing Walsh back.

Osbourne, who is dating rock star Jarrod Gorbel, is set to star in the West End musical Chicago.
