Louis Walsh says Rita Ora is "more of a clothes horse than a pop star"

Music mogul Louis Walsh has aimed a harsh comment at former 'X Factor' judge Rita Ora

In a new interview with Britain's Daily Star, he said that he doesn't really consider the "Shine Ya Light" songstress to be a credible musician: "She's more of a clothes horse than a pop star."

He also criticised last year's judging panel, which included Nick Grimshaw and Cheryl, and told the newspaper that it was "too cool" to ever be successful for commercial audiences: "It was too cool for school last year. I'm glad it flopped. I used to check the ratings every week – I was so happy."

Louis Walsh added that, for him,returning to the show always depended on who he would be working with: 

"I would have only come back if the panel was good. I would have said 'No' to other people. I only want the people I love, who work hard and people I want to go out for dinner with on a Sunday."
