Try Star 'destroy' Louis Walsh with savage put-down on X Factor Celebrity

X Factor's rugby boy band are used to taking their opponents down on the pitch - but it turns out their put-downs ca be just as brutal as their tackling.

Try Star, made up of Thom Evans, Levi Davis and Ben Foden, returned to their roots on Saturday night with a reworked version of their audition song, No Diggity .

As the judge's gave their feedback, Louis Walsh suggested Thom was more of a backing singer, and Thom hit right back.

He: "Louis I just want to say with all due respect you've been a backing singer for Simon most of your life so..."

The judge looked speechless as Thom's fellow band members started dancing delightedly, and Simon Cowell, clearly delighted, stood up to give the sassy comment a standing ovation.

It's fair to say fans were pretty impressed with the put down.

Twitter user xFrankiex wrote: "Cracking up at try star hitting back at Louis."

While @philintheuk said: "Louis Walsh has been DESTROYED!"

@thenikkidiaries said: "Just for this comment I'm voting for Try-Star."

And @Skyseys called it the: "Best quote of the series."
