X Factor star Louis Walsh pokes fun at fellow judge Sharon Osbourne’s love of cosmetic surgery
Irishman could risk another glass of water being thrown in his face with his latest comments
X FACTOR judge Louis Walsh has joked fellow panellist Sharon Osbourne is onto her "third face" after the 63-year-old showed off a more youthful appearance at the show's auditions.
The Irishman is good friends with Sharon, and cheekily hinted his BFF has gone under the knife once again, having previously admitted to spending £300,000 on plastic surgery.
After showing off a youthful look at the latest round of auditions for this year's series of the X Factor, Louis told the : "She is looking really well. She has got a new face.
"It’s her third face and it is the best one yet."
However the 63-year-old does not fear the wrath of Sharon - who infamously threw a glass of water in his face during the live shows in 2005 - as he knows she can take a joke.

“She has had a bit of work done," he continued. "I have great fun with her and she does not mind me saying things like that.”
In fact Sharon has previously revealed she has spent £300,000 on cosmetic surgery over the years, including a full rhytidectomy (face lift), abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and mastopexy (breast lift).
In her autobiography, Unbreakable, the wife of rocker Ozzy Osbourne said: "There's not much I haven't had tweaked, stretched, peeled, lasered, veneered, enhanced or removed altogether.
"I don't think I'm as bad as some women - like Jocelyn 'Bride of' Wildenstein but I won't be having any more cosmetic procedures."
Sharon and Louis have returned to the X Factor judging panel this year alongside Nicole Scherzinger and show boss Simon Cowell, but Louis no doubt pushed Sharon's buttons further by claiming the former Pussycat Dolls singer is a better judge than her.
He said: "Nicole is the best judge. Getting Sharon back was something different, I think.
"That was a tough job as her and Simon don’t always see eye to eye.”
Sharon originally appeared alongside Simon and Louis from the first series in 2004 until 2007, before returning in 2013 for one series, which she won with singer Sam Bailey.
