Louis Walsh has slammed RTE’s Dancing With The Stars Ireland, as he prepares to begin filming for new TV3 talent show Ireland’s Got Talent.
The dancing show’s first season proved to be huge success, with a second series previously being confirmed by the station, but it seems Louis is not a fan.
“Dancing With The Stars? There were no stars. It was more like Dancing With The Staff,” Louis told The Herald.
“I thought it was a good show, but there’s room for two big shows. Ireland’s Got Talent is a short enough run, I think.”
The 65-year-old X Factor judge also revealed exactly what he is looking for in contestants for Ireland’s Got Talent.
“We have more lunatics per square mile than anywhere else in the whole world.
“We’re looking for dancing dogs and singing nuns and choirs and comedians – everything. I just want to be shocked, I want to be shocked every day.
“I want it to be a big show. We’ve never had a show like this here,” he added.
“The All-Ireland Talent Show was good, but I think this is going to be better.”
Strong words from Louis!
