Love him or hate him, you’ve got to admit Louis Walsh has brought back a certain something that was missing from last year’s ‘X Factor’ since returning to the panel. 

His infectious giggles reached new levels during the auditions, and we loved watching him royally fudge up his choices during the Six Chair Challenge. 

And now his latest ridiculous moment has seen him go clubbing with his contestants in Ibiza. 

Seriously. 

In a preview clip taken from this weekend’s episodes Louis whisks the Groups to Ibiza for his Judges’ Houses round, where they soon let their hair down at one of the White Isle’s biggest clubs. 

The contestants are surprised when they meet Craig David, who is DJing at Ibiza Rocks, but the biggest shock of all happens when Louis emerges from a balcony in the club. 

He then heads down to join them, before showing off his dance moves. 

Actually, it’s more of a finger point and “whoop”, but it’s still our new favourite thing.

However, the hopefuls won’t be partying for too long, as it’s soon down to business, as they perform for Louis and his assistants Fleur East and Alesha Dixon, in the hope of winning a place in the live shows. 

Find out who Louis chooses when ’The X Factor’ airs on Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 7.30pm on ITV.
