Soprano Charlotte Church criticized hit show X Factor and his judge, Louis Walsh. Church, 18, declared during her new documentary Charlotte Church: Confessions Of A Teen Angel that she's embarrassed by Walsh and his show.

She commented: "I can't believe some of these people who think they can sing when they clearly can't. Have they never listened to themselves? It's so embarrassing to watch."

Louis Walsh seems to be the main culprit for allowing the talentless to embarrass Charlotte. "I think Louis has lost it," she announced. "He keeps putting these people through who are seriously dreadful. I just don't get it."

However, Walsh cannot stand the singer either, branding her "the worst young role model" according to Ananova.com.

The X Factor was first broadcast in 2004 as an ITV television show of similar format to Pop Idol, the first series of which was won by Steve Brookstein. It is a music talent search split over three categories: group, solo 16-25 and solo 25 and over. The judges are Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne.
