Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne brand X Factor’s Mason Noise’s tantrum “pathetic” – and he FIGHTS BACK

One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne are well aware of how far they’ve come in the last five years – so they’ve got plenty of collective wisdom to pass on to the next X Factor generation.

And now Mason Noise has come into their firing line for his much-publicised tantrum on last Sunday’s show, when he argued with Simon Cowell about how much air time he was getting compared to the other contestants.

More news!

It cost him a place in Nick Grimshaw’s Six Chair Challenge, although he was later re-added to the line-up when Tom Bleasby pulled out of the competition.

“I think his argument was pretty pathetic,” Louis told ITV News.

Oh dear.

Catch The X Factor on Sunday 18 October from 7pm on ITV.
