"Louis Walsh wants to break the X Factor rules and start mentoring Belle Amie, it has been revealed. The Irish music mogul spoke out on tonight&amp;#039;s live show, blasting Simon Cowell for abandoning the girl group in rehearsals for Guilty Pleasures week. Walsh accused his rival of putting all his attention on boyband One Direction in the Groups category. Speaking after the girls&amp;#039; rendition of &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;ll Stand By You&amp;#039;, the Westlife manager said: &amp;quot;Well, I think you are potentially a really great girl band but you&amp;#039;ve got a problem, you&amp;#039;re on your own in this competition.  &amp;quot;Simon is putting all his energies into boyband One Direction and it&amp;#039;s not fair... It wasn&amp;#039;t a great song choice, but what were you to do? You&amp;#039;ve no mentor. It\u2019s not right.&amp;quot; It was later revealed on The Xtra Factor that Walsh has stated an interest in taking over mentoring duties for the four-piece, despite that being a breach of the show&amp;#039;s guidelines. Walsh is currently in charge of the Over 28s acts John Adeleye, Wagner Carrilho and Mary Byrne. Defending his actions in the judges Q&amp;amp;A with Konnie Huq, Cowell commented: &amp;quot;This week, the girls decided to do their own song, so yes, I spent more time with the boys. But I was happy for the girls to do their own thing.&amp;quot; Belle Amie said after the show that they didn&amp;#039;t feel like Cowell&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;second best&amp;quot;, but added that they &amp;quot;loved&amp;quot; Walsh.
