Get me to make-up! Louis Walsh hides behind sunglasses on rainy day at Britain's Got Talent London auditions
He's admitted to having the bags under his eyes removed, his wrinkles botoxed and his hair dyed as he bids to appear younger for television viewers - but Louis Walsh has taken vanity to the next level.
The X Factor judge arrived to host auditions for Britain's Got Talent wearing sunglasses - despite the grey, rainy weather.
As lackeys held umbrellas, the Irish music mogul didn't even remove them when he got out of his car and had a short walk in front of hundreds of fans.

However, he did bizarrely remove the daft dark specs to pose for photographers.
Louis is standing in for judge David Hasselhoff on the show for these first round of London auditions, along with Amanda Holden and new boy Michael McIntyre.
Hasselhoff is replacing Piers Morgan, who has left the show to present a live nightly news show in the U.S.

McIntyre has replaced Simon Cowell, who's standing down from the auditions round to launch the American version of the X Factor, but who will return for the studio finals.
The comedian has apparently now been made aware just how desperate and crazy some of the auditionees can be when one flashed their bare behind at him.
His act was to take to the stage in five sets of Y-fronts and strip them off a pair at a time.

Thousands more hopefuls turned up at the auditions at London's HMV Apollo today for the third day of auditions in the hope of becoming the next Paul Potts, Susan Boyle or Diversity.
The show starts on ITV1 in April.
