Louis Walsh fumes Ronan Keating 'hasn't had a hit song since sacking' him
Celebrity Big Brother viewers were shocked that Louis Walsh brutally lashed out at Ronan Keating.
In scenes that aired on Tuesday night, viewers watched as the Housemates were treated to a VIP pop party where they were given treats, drinks, and the chance to dance to some classic pop songs. But when the song Life Is A Rollercoaster song by 47-year-old Ronan played in the house, 71-year-old Louis took a brutal swipe at the singer.
Ronan was a member of Boyzone - the chart topping band that Louis managed and also included 51-year-old Mikey Graham, 49-year-old Keith Duffy, and 47-year-old Shane Lynch. The band also included late singer Stephen Gately, who died in 2009 at the age of 33. Ronan then went on to enjoy success as a solo artist - with Louis continuing to work with him, until they went separate ways, creatively.
As Ronan’s song played in the Celebrity Big Brother House, Louis commented: “Great song.” But then he took an unexpected swipe at Ronan. He grumbled: “He was such a p***k.” And he didn’t back down. Speaking to 71-year-old Sharon Osbourne, he went on: “Everybody thinks he’s a lovely guy, do you know hat I mean?”

He raged: “He hasn’t had a hit record since I left. He sacked me.” Viewers watching from home were gobsmacked by Louis’s bitter comments - which followed other cold comments he made about iconic pop duo Jedward.

One stunned viewer wrote on X: "Louis Walsh dropping in that Ronan is a p***k and hasn’t had a hit record since Louis left……. Is there ANYONE he likes? Anyone who’s stopped making him money he bad mouths. Evil little troll #cbbuk."
Another remarked: "Good god #Louie on #CBBUK is not holding back is he." And another typed: "Is they're anyone louie like's get him out #cbbuk." (sic)
Louis slammed Ronan's career - and character (ITV)Minutes earlier, Louis unexpectedly lashed out at 32-year-old twins John and Edward Grimes - aka pop singing duet Jedward. Fellow housemate Colson Smith, 25, of Coronation Street fame asked Louis about some of the past musicians he had worked with.
The soap star asked: “What were Edward like?” And much to the shock of fans watching the show, Louis bluntly said: “They were vile.” Colson gasped and then said: “But they’ve done well.”
Louis then made the shock revelation that he managed to make millions out of managing the brothers - but that didn’t sweeten his opinion of them. He said: “I got five million quid for them. I swear on my mother’s life.”
Colson then gasped: “F**king hell. I wish I had a Jedward.” But Louis only doubled down. He sneered: “And they were vile. They were novelty. But great for the show.”
Louis’s comment provoked a furious response from the pop stars - who hit out at Louis on Twitter. The boys were supported by a legion of fans - including Towie star Gemma Collins, who wrote on Instagram: “Shocked to see what was said about my boys @jepicpics ... They are the sweetest talented polite educated kind boys I’ve ever met hence why they are always in my company !!! TEAM JEDWARD."
