X FACTOR judge Louis Walsh has been running down the show's two finalists, saying they'll never make the big time.

He said of Leona Lewis: "She hasn't got a great personality. She's very shy and very normal."

And Ray Quinn was described as "a panto boy".

Louis added: "I don't think he'll sell records.

"He'll always work but I think he's more likely to be in musicals."

Louis, mentor to the groups in this series, said neither had what it takes to be a pop star.

He was speaking on ITV2's The Extra Factor a week after his last act the MacDonald Brothers got the boot.

Yesterday Ray, 18, and Leona, 21, moved into a plush five-star hotel as they prepare for the final showdown next Saturday.
