Liam Payne SLAMS Louis Walsh on Twitter: 'Shut the f**k up!'

Sometimes enough is enough. And that’s exactly what Liam Payne must have thought when he told his girlfriend’s former music manager to “shut the f**k up” on Twitter last night.

The One Direction star lept to the defence of pregnant Cheryl after Louis Walsh took another opportunity to diss her at a photocall last night.

Liam was not impressed when the Irishman stole the limelight from his X Factor act 5 After Midnight on the red carpet and took aim at defenceless Cheryl.

When a journalist asked Louis what his reaction would be if show boss Simon Cowell invited the former Girls Aloud star – who he used to manage – back to the judging panel, he said: “Simon wouldn’t invite Cheryl back because we have Nicole [Scherzinger]. We have Nicole and Sharon [Osbourne], we don’t need another girl.”

He then quipped that he ‘wasn’t excited’ about Chezza’s baby news because he never sees her.

And when news of Louis’ comments got to her boyfriend, he wasn’t having any of it.

Well, that told him!
