But Louis left fans outraged over his decision to ditch popular girl band 4 of Diamonds in favour of 'joke act' Ottavio and Bradley, and  it seems Alesha agrees with them.

Taking to Instagram to share a snap of herself with Louis and Fleur at Judge's Houses, she wrote: "Well that was fun!

"But I am gutted, I was really rooting for the 2 girl groups! @thexfactor #thexfactor".

Along with Alesha, fans were full of praise for the all female pop band following their “amazing” performance in Ibiza, and they were stunned when their mentor gave them the boot.

Louis later chose to keep divisive duo Ottavio and Bradley in the competition, and the move left viewers fuming.

Several fans declared Louis must be drunk to have made such a bizarre decision, with one writing: "Louis Walsh is p**sed, 4 of diamonds were really good #XFactor."

Another added: "Is Louis p**sed? 4 of Diamonds are the best vocalists and harmonised perfectly!! Joke. #XFactor..."

Many went to call for the Irish music mogul to be sacked from the panel over the move, and even sent messages to show boss Simon Cowell.
