New Irish boyband Hometown have revealed that their manager Louis Walsh is "tough" on them and said that he has thrown them in at the deep end.
“He has the X Factor side that everyone sees. The ditzy funny Irish guy but he also has the serious side where he is tough on us,” they told the Daily Star.
Hometown added: "We have to do it his way. If he feels like we aren’t doing it his way then he will definitely let us know."
However, the boyband admitted that they understand why Louis puts pressure on them: “He threw us in the deep end, he ups the pressure all the time to see how we do, so far we have done well.
“We didn’t understand why he was doing what he was doing but now we can see how he has it all planned out.
“As much as we may think sometimes he is away with the fairies, he isn’t. He does know exactly what he is doing,”
