Louis Walsh is reportedly being investigated over indecent assault claims.
A 24-year-old man has alleged that the X Factor judge indecently assaulted him in the toilets of a Dublin nightclub two months ago following a Westlife concert.
However, Walsh has vowed to clear his name, telling The Sun: “The allegations made against me are wholly false and with no foundation.
“I will happily cooperate fully with the police and am 100% confident that after a full investigation I will be fully exonerated.”
A spokesperson for Walsh added: “If contacted by the police, he will willingly cooperate with any investigation.”
Police sources have confirmed that an investigation into the incident, which the claimant alleges took place at the Russell Court Hotel’s Krystle nighctlub in the early hours of April 10, is ongoing.
The paper also reports that detectives are looking at CCTV footage from the venue as part of the investigation.
Louis is the only remaining panel member on this year’s X Factor, joined by a trio of new faces in the form of Kelly Rowland, Gary Barlow and Tulisa Contostavlos.
