Moment Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh lay into Celebrity Big Brother housemate with series of savage insults
LOUIS Walsh and Sharon Osbourne have lost none of their savagery since their X Factor judging days.
Just moments after entering the Celebrity Big Brother house and being assigned a secret mission to decide which three contestants faced the risk of eviction, the duo tore into the new arrivals.
Ibiza Weekender star David Potts was firmly in their cross hairs as the two septuagenarians watched on from a plush hidden room.
Critiquing the perma-tanned reality star’s daring look, Louis said: “No we don’t want to see those legs.
“And it’s too much fake tan.”
Grimacing, Sharon added: “Oh no no no, cover it up.”
Later in the show the duo, who last starred together on the X Factor seven years ago, were introduced to the other housemates.
Big Brother explained they’d chosen three people – Zeze Mills, David Potts and Gary Goldsmith – and one would be at risk of eviction.
Speaking in the kitchen Louis told David: “At least you’re individual.”
David shot back: “The thing is Louis. I don’t give a s**t what anyone thinks of me.
“And if you want to come to me with your opinion, I’ll listen to it, but I don’t give a f**k.”
Viewers had mixed feelings towards the duo.
One wrote on X: “Louis sounds like such a hater that he don’t have legs like that lol.”
Another said: “The fact they don’t care about anyone’s opinion is what will make this show.”
A third said: “Well he seems a bit pressed for someone who doesn’t care about others opinions.”
A fourth wrote: “I totally agree with the grandparents on this…”
Louis made a big blunder moments before he entered the house.
Not only did he know exactly who was in the line-up, he was already privy to who had entered before him.
As host Will Best asked him about who he would be getting along with, Louis quickly replied: “Mrs O! I’m with Mrs O!”
He famously referred to Sharon as ‘Mrs O’ during their time as judges on the former ITV singing contest.
His blunder caught Will and AJ Odudu off guard.
As the hosts flapped to cover up that she was in fact there, Louis added: “She’s going to protect me.”
AJ could be heard saying: “She might not be in there!”
Attempting to play it off, Will then referred to a hypothetical scenario in which Sharon could be in the house, but Louis told him he KNEW she was already in there.

Celebrity Big Brother line-up
So who are the 13 stars expected to appear in the Celebrity Big Brother house? The Sun's Jamie Downham takes a look...
Sharon Osbourne – TV legend – who is thought to be on a megabucks deal – said she was doing the show for “a good time not a long time”
Louis Walsh – Irish boyband manager who has never knowingly backed down from a fight. Sure to be a huge presence in the house.
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu – We know from Love Island, the Ek-ster is not above throwing about some dramatics to claw her way to the final.
Levi Roots – Reggae Reggae Sauce sauce packs a bit of a kick, but its inventor seems quite mild-mannered. Will that change under pressure?
Fern Britton – The former This Morning star called out Phillip Schofield – don’t think she won’t do the same to anyone who tangles with her.
Colson Smith – You’ll probably know him best as Corrie’s Craig Tinker – but prepare to find out he’s not much like his character.
David Potts – Ibiza Weekender’s breakout star is sure to bring a bit of the party isle to the house… but will people appreciate it?
Gary Goldsmith – Kate Middleton’s uncle is a big signing for ITV, but very much an unknown quantity among viewers.
Marisha Wallace – Top Broadway star may fill the brief of ‘American who doesn’t know what they’ve let themselves in for’.
Nikita Kuzmin – The Strictly pro is coming onto the show fresh off the show’s tour. Poor lad probably just wants a rest.
Zeze Mills – the social media star has a “no holds barred interview style” – which is just what we need in there.
Bradley Riches – The actor played sweet James McEwan in Netflix hit Heartstopper. We’ll soon find out what he’s really like.
Lauren Simon – She’s a Real Housewives of Cheshire star and you don’t get on that show by being shy and retiring.
