X Factor judge Louis Walsh denies cosmetic surgery rumours

Louis Walsh has hit back at suggestions that he has undergone cosmetic surgery once again. The X Factor judge sparked speculation that he went back under the knife after the ITV reality show returned for its eighth series last Saturday, with fans highlighting his smoother brow as a tell-tale sign of Botox injections.

The 59-year-old music manager underwent surgery in 2009 to remove bags beneath his eyes and flatten out wrinkles.

He also had dental work completed earlier the same year, which he described as “an investment”.

However, Walsh is alleged to have told a friend that rumours of his recent procedures are completely untrue, claiming: “Other than my eyes, it’s all natural.”

“The truth is he keeps himself in great shape,” his friend told The Mirror.

Walsh’s spokesperson also denied reports of more cosmetic surgery.
