TV personality
Louis Walsh
blasted singer
Rita Ora and host
Nick Grimshaw
for bringing down the standards of last year's "
X Factor
".
Walsh, 63, who will judge its latest season after a year off, said the two had turned the "X Factor" into a fashion show and knew nothing about talent, reported Contactmusic.
Grimshaw, 31, and the "Body on Me" hitmaker co-judged the reality show last year.
"Sharon and I are old, but that means we're far more experienced, unlike the young whippersnappers on last year's panel who didn't know a thing about talent," he said.

"Sharon and I pushed for Nicole, we didn't want Rita. It turned into a fashion show. The panel didn't have the right credentials. They were lightweight."
Grimshaw and Ora have officially left the show.
