Louis Walsh is back on The X Factor and getting up to old tricks by shouting his mouth off.

This time around his target is BBC show Strictly Come Dancing, which will be fighting a massive UK TV ratings war with The X Factor. Louis the Lip is back - and biting.

"Listen, I watched Strictly last year," he told The Sun. "I found it boring. I got bored after a while.

"It was like, 'Oh God, who are they and what are they doing?' The X Factor is the most talked-about show on TV - everyone talks about The X Factor, no-one talks about Strictly."

Nice bit of pot-stirring there, Louis. It's good to have you back!

The X Factor returns to TV3 on Saturday, August 27 while Strictly Come Dancing is back on BBC One on Saturday September 3.
