Louis put your Money where your mouth is...

Irish pop svengali Louis Walsh has had his bluff called by peer, Pete Waterman, who bet him 1 million pound on live TV that Louis choices for Pete's band would not match the public's.

The two rival managers for ITV's Popstars show were put on the spot on the This Morning show, presented by Fern Britton and Philip Schofield (John Leslie seems to have taken an impromptu vacation), when they were asked to pick each other's band.

Pete Waterman only picked three of Louis' girls whereas Louis picked six of Pete's boys (remember SIX?). The good news is that both Irish contestants, Nadine Cole and Peter Smith, made into both manager's choices.

But things got heated between the two - nothing new there - when Pete got skeptical of Louis' choices. The world renowned manager stated that the public would not pick the same choices as Louis, to which Mr.Walsh replied, "the final band is in that six."

Pete Waterman told Louis to put his money where his mouth is by saying repeatedly "I bet you one million pound the public disagree."

Obviously not a betting man Louis wouldn't even humour Pete with a reply.

Perhaps they should rename the ITV show, Pop Svengalis The Rivals?
