He said Louis Walsh was influencing the vote by having interest in Eoghan Quigg. He also said that Linda Martin was on Louis payroll and she was also biased in her opinion. He also accused Louis of getting Niall Horan of One Direction to tweet "Vote for Eoghan Quigg" The fight raged on and Linda Martin got up off her seat and confronted Billy and said she was very angry with his comments. The rock icon insisted the X Factor judge is planning to use his "position of power" on the Late Late Show panel to "manipulate the text vote". Billy, who is mentoring long-shot Laura O'Neill, said it was an "Aslan versus Louis Walsh fight". Billy added: "What's the point in employing mentors if they've already decided who's going to win? "I found out Louis Walsh and Linda Martin are on the panel. Are they going to influence the audience? Of course they are. "You can nearly see Louis saying, 'Eoghan Quigg deserves to be on that stage! You deserve to be on that stage Eoghan! Second chance! This guy is right to represent Ireland!' "But it's not fair for the other mentors that are putting in all the hard work." Billy insisted it was wrong that stars including Olly Murs, Shane Filan, Brian McFadden and JLS' Marvin Humes have been trying to influence millions of Twitter followers to vote for Eoghan. He said: "If you look at Eurovision for the last four years, Louis Walsh has been involved in the four acts. "We need to lose the text vote and go back to an anonymous vote. Whenever Ireland won, it was not text voting. "We need to lose that because it can be manipulated. That's not what it's about, it's a bleeding song contest."
