Celebrity Big Brother viewers teased that Louis Walsh has really been doing his homework after noticing he 'knows everyone'.
They demanded to know what's going on as the very clued up Irish star started reeling off the names of most of the arrivals - even briefing oblivious Sharon Osbourne about their new housemates from their secret location. The former X Factor judge, 71, entered the house to join pal Sharon and soon they were ushered into another room to judge their fellow contestants.
In-the-know Louis explained in detail who each new celeb was, leaving viewers comparing the scene to The Devil Wears Prada where Andrea and Emily left Miranda impressed in the smash hit 2006 comedy. Taking to twitter, one person wrote: "Louis is a walking talking wikipedia wtf."

How does Louis know everyone?" as a third person chimed in on the platform: "Louis is literally explaining every celebrity to Sharon like Andrea and Emily to Miranda in The Devil Wears Prada." One fan appeared to be certain Louis has been reading up. They posted: "So Louis let slip he knew Sharon was gonna be in there, he's totes been doing his homework on the other leaked names hasn't he? I love him briefing Mrs O on each person."

Last week, the Mirror was invited to a sneak peak tour of the celebrity house and host Will revealed the house has undergone one huge change from last year’s reboot - frosted shower doors. "To give the new housemates some more privacy," he explained. Fair enough!
The house is bright and beautiful with glitzy stars found on the floor throughout the house. Inside the living area the celebrities will find the open plan living space with colourful sofas in a circle – which sets the scene for the new housemates having to do face-to-face nominations. The sofas back onto the kitchen and glitzy dining area, meaning celebrities will find little room for privacy.
Considering this year's line-up, plenty of hot tea looks ready to be spilled and secret gossip shared - and there's one person who certainly won't hold back from dishing the dirt. "Everyone loves Louis and they’ll see him for the fun, big hearted and spirited person that he is in the Big Brother house," a source close to Louis told the Mirror. "But the thing you have to remember about Louis is that he’ll say it how it is and if he’s doesn’t like something, he won’t hold back. He’ll be entertaining and I expect he’ll do really well."
