X Factor star Rachel Hylton calls Louie Walsh a bully

X Factor reject Rachel Hylton has called judge Louie Walsh a bully after her exit from the show. The mother-of-five was voted off on Saturday after going head-to-head with boy band JLS, who are being mentored by Walsh. Fellow judge Dannii Minogue was left in tears after Walsh accused her of stealing the song he had chosen for JLS. The four-piece had wanted to sing Take That's Rule the World, which Rachel sang instead during the main part of the show. Rachel said: "As far as I'm concerned, that's bullying of the highest order." She added: "He's a buzzard, to put it politely. He's an old grumpy buzzard. And I don't care if he hears this because it's a known fact the man didn't like me." There are five acts left in the ITV1 show: JLS, Diana Vickers, Ruth Lorenzo, Eoghan Quigg and Alexandra Burke.
