THEY’VE been making headlines all week, labelled the “nastiest pair on TV”, but the public condemnation isn’t over yet for New Zealand X Factor judges Natalia Kills and Willy Moon.
Now, a judge from the UK version of the show has weighed in on the sacking of the “cruel” couple, claiming Kills will “never work again”.
In an interview with Irish radio station RTE2fm, Louis Walsh said: “Number one, I don’t know who they are,” adding that he is “glad” the duo lost their jobs.
“It’s cruel, it’s not right. These shows are supposed to be fun. People sit back and they want to be entertained, they don’t want to hear people taking people to pieces,” the Irishman said.
“She obviously has no class, no taste, she’ll never work again I reckon, honestly. I mean, who’s going to hire her? Nobody.”
The music industry veteran, who fronts the UK panel alongside Simon Cowell, Mel B and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, concluded: “It wouldn’t happen on The Voice of Ireland or The Voice UK and it definitely wouldn’t happen on The X Factor [UK].”
Despite being fired from the talent show, Kills insists she stands by her comments made during Sunday night’s live show, which saw her brand young contestant Joe Irvine “disgusting” and said she was “ashamed” to be judging him.

The show’s producers fired both judges on Monday for their “destructive” criticism, with replacements currently being finalised to join Stan Walker and Melanie Blatt on the panel.
The pair have since packed their bags and left New Zealand. They were snapped at Auckland International Airport late on Tuesday night bound for Los Angeles.

Dressed in all black and wearing sunglasses, the married couple put on a united front for the cameras, kissing and holding hands, but did not talk to any media before being ushered through premium check-in.
