Una Healy has jumped to defend her good friend Louis Walsh who continues to cause chaos in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
On Monday night, ITV viewers were left delighted after former X Factor pals Louis, 71, and Sharon, also 71, reunited after six years as they entered the iconic house together. Since then, the pair seemingly have been thick as thieves - however, some eagle-eyed viewers were quick to point out that Louis threw Sharon under the bus this week.
Louis' comments surrounding Sharon haven't gone down too well with viewers at home. During the launch episode, Mrs Osbourne and Louis were sent to a secret part of the house where they were given a dramatic task. Sharon was given a mission to put three housemates up for risk of nomination. Louis was also on hand to offer her advice.

But Louis decided to tell the housemates that he had no say in the matter and it was all down to Sharon.
At the time, viewers flocked to X, formerly known as Twitter to slam 'backstabbing Louis as one fumed: "Louis showing he has no backbone by throwing Sharon under the bus at the first opportunity. Another penned: "Louis throwing Sharon under the bus in Zeze’s face like it wasn’t his idea to chuck Zeze in there." Meanwhile, a third typed: "Louis shot himself in the foot and now he’s backtracking. I have a feeling that will happen a lot."

"Louis Walsh would shop his own grandmother if it meant that he could not put the blame on himself," commented another. While someone else fumed: "Louis Walsh is nothing but a backstabbing little b****."
Despite viewers hitting out at the Irish music mogul, his good friend Una Healy has defended Louis, describing him as 'honest' and 'to the point'. Una, 42, knew that Louis would never 'hold back his opinions' while in Celebrity Big Brother.

Speaking to The Irish Mirror, Una said: "I've known him a long time. He used to call me Declan Nerney, that was his nickname. He remembers me from back in the day as Declan's niece and then I went on Popstars. I was only 19 at that time. Then over the years I would bump into him and stuff.
"He doesn't hold back. He's always been like that with his opinions. That is why he made a great judge. He's very honest. He'll be great. I wonder how hard it is to stop thinking about the cameras... that's the problem and then they edit it. Sometimes you can be really, really nice but they can make you look bad or the other way around.”
Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV and ITVX.
