X Factor judges look worse for wear leaving The Arts Club for Sharon Osbourne’s birthday following show’s first eviction
LONG-TIME mates Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh proved the party animals of the X Factor judging crew as they left her birthday shindig bleary-eyed and full of giggles.
The duo clutched onto each other for support as they rounded off a night at London's swanky members-only venue, The Arts Club, where she marked turning 64.
Their TV show colleague, gorgeous Nicole Scherzinger, also looked a little worse for wear as she headed outside.
The bunch were also marking the first live final eviction which saw Bratavio given the boot and were also joined by show host Dermot O'Leary and his Norwegian wife, Dee Koppang.
Feisty birthday girl Sharon looked glam even when wrapped up in a huge coat as she celebrated her special day.
The red head plumped for a huge pair of gold chandelier earrings to match with a white top and chic black trousers.
Cheeky Irishman Louis looked more casual in a white shirt and jeans, with a bag slung across his body.
The pair looked merry as they left the capital's party hotspot and the caring ex Westlife manager wrapped his arm around his birthday buddy to make sure she stayed stable.
He bent his head down to catch something Sharon was saying, before bursting into huge fits of laughter.
With a smirk splashed across her face, reality TV star Sharon stepped ahead as they made their way home.
Yet Louis caught her up and proceeded to mimic placing a peck on her cheek.
Meanwhile popstar Nicole stayed stylish as she left the bash, flashing her cleavage in a sophisticated black top and skintight trousers.
Yet her expression hinted she too had relished a night out in London.
She looked blank-faced and a little dazed as she stepped into the cold night.
She cocked her head to one side and swished down the road in a trance-like state, yet still managed to pout up a storm for the waiting photographers.
Meanwhile host Dermot, who has returned to Simon Cowell's show for the new series, had a huge cheeky grin plastered on his face.
He was in very high spirits as he clutched his wife's hand and led her outside.
His Cheshire Cat smile remained on his face as they said farewell to their pals.
Dee kept her composure but gave a cute smile in her eye-popping pink lipstick.

Earlier on in the night, pop duo Bratavio were the first act to be evicted from this year's live X Factor finals.
Following a sing-off with Saara Aalto, the duo were swiftly eliminated from the competition.
Despite belting out Yazz’s The Only Way Is Up, their efforts weren’t enough to save them a spot in the competition.
After the judges voted them out, Ottavio told Dermot O’Leary: “We’re really proud and thankful to everyone.
“The producers and judges… thank you for letting us follow our dreams.”
As the judges decided who to save, Louis said: "Saara you were incredible, just world class, it was one of the best sing-off's ever - but because I'm their mentor, I have to send Saara home."
Sharon added: "I love you guys but I have to send Bratavio home."
