Louis Walsh unveils new boyband after attempt at girl group didn't work out

Music manager and former X-Factor judge Louis Walsh has unveiled his brand new boyband after failing to form the girl group he wanted.

Louis is known for his TV judging stints as well as managing mega successful groups such as Westlife and Girls Aloud. He has been working on his new group for a year and revealed that he originally wanted to form a girl group but failed to "get the right girls".

1,000 auditions were held before Louis chose the five lads he wants for his group, whose name is yet to be revealed. The quintet is made up of Conor O’Farrell, 20, from Meath, Harry O’Connell, 19, Conor Davis, 19, from Dublin, Nueng Kelly, 20, from Carlow and 17-year-old Navan native Joshua Regala.
