When Tomlinson was mistaken for Murs
Singer and The X Factor judge Louis Tomlinson was left unimpressed when one of the participants being auditioned on the reality show confused him for Please Don’t Let Me Go singer Olly Murs during the first audition round in London.
The One Direction star showed two middle fingers after the contestant made the blunder during auditions at The SSE Arena in Wembley, reports thesun.co.uk.
The incident took place as the judges gave the aspiring singer a standing ovation after he did a duet of the hit tack Angels with judge and singer Robbie Williams.
An audience member said: “Louis has really taken to his new judging role on The X Factor and has been surprised by the amount of talent on this year’s show.
“One of the contestants he was really impressed with was one guy who came on stage, confessed his undying love for Robbie and then did a duet of Angels with Robbie.
“But Louis was less than impressed after the audition when the contestant thanked all the judges for giving him a standing ovation – but called him Olly!
“The audience were in hysterics as Louis straight away gave him two middle fingers and shook his head – it wasn’t the best way to finish an audition but it’ll make great telly,” the person addded.
Tomlinson made his debut as a judge on The X Factor panel last week alongside Simon Cowell, Williams and Ayda Field.
