Liam Payne has lashed out at Louis Walsh on Twitter.
In a very unexpected rant, he congratulated Louis on being "the worst example for his band" who he mentors on the X Factor, 5 After Midnight.
The band are entering into the final weekend of the X Factor this weekend, and it's reported Louis was very negative towards Cheryl in a recent interview with The Huffington Post. When asked how he'd feel if Simon invited Cheryl back to the X Factor Louis said, "Well Simon wouldn't invite Cheryl back because we have Nicole. We have Nicole and Sharon, we don't need another girl. So go and f**k off now… No silly questions, seriously. It's not about Cheryl. Don't be stupid, man."
Dad-to-be Liam didn't take the comments very well. He took to Twitter to hit back at Louis.

However, it's reported that Louis only got frustrated because he was there to answer questions about 5 After Midnight, and not Cheryl.
The X Factor final is on this Saturday night on TV3 at 8pm.
