Louis Walsh has opened up about his time as manager of Girls Aloud.

In an interview with The Daily Star the X Factor judge revealed a number of details about his tenure as manager of the British girl band.  

Walsh said: “I didn’t enjoy working with Nadine, Kimberly, Nicola, Sarah or Cheryl either.”

According to Walsh it seems that no one enjoyed their working relationship as he stated: “They didn’t get along with each other and hated me.”

The entertainment manager also went on to detail what made the girl band tricky to deal with: “I found their rivalry difficult to cope with. It’s hard to get them to get on well.”

He went on to remark: “They all pretend to get on well in public, but underneath, all they want is to be the skinniest and go out with the most famous footballer and be in the middle of pictures and all that.”

Louis Walsh managed Girls Aloud following the formation of the group on talent TV show 'Popstars: The Rivals', but the band parted ways with him in 2005.
