Celebrity Big Brother star 'ready to quit' after suffering major blow
A Celebrity Big Brother housemate has left bosses worried that they're ready to walk out.
Louis Walsh has reportedly left show bosses worried that he could be preparing to quit his stint in the famous house. It comes after his close pal Sharon Osbourne left the house on Monday as her time as a celebrity lodger came to an end. Mrs O reportedly signed a deal worth £500,000 to appear on the show for just one week.
It's claimed that Walsh, 71, would only sign his contract unless Sharon, also 71, would be on the show, with bosses pulling out all the stops to make it possible. With Sharon now gone, it's believed that bosses are on eggshells about Louis' appearance fearing he could pack his suitcase at any time.
Louis Walsh has reportedly left bosses worried he could quit Celebrity Big Brother (ITV)"They know Louis is a flight risk now Sharon is gone and no one would be surprised if he left. Louis will still receive his full fee, so he has nothing to lose," a source said. They went on to tell The Sun: "Without Sharon he will be lost as they have such a close friendship in the house.
"Everyone is on high alert for Louis to throw in the towel, but he's making such good television, the producers are praying that he will stay." It's claimed that Louis received around £250,000 for his stint on the show but should he walk, he will receive the full amount, regardless of how long he's in the house.

The former X Factor judge has certainly made his money in the house and hasn't held back when it comes to sharing his opinions of people, famously, his former clients including Ronan Keating and Irish twins, Jedward. The music mogul branded John and Edward "vile" but claimed he made around £5 million from them.

I got £5million from them. I swear on my mother's life," he went on to add: "They were vile. But they were novelty. It was great for the show. It was all about the show." Louis also wasted no time dishing his views on Meghan Markle.
"Does anybody like that girl? Does anybody like her? Apart from Harry? Does anybody else like her?" he asked Sharon and co-star Fern Britton. He commented: "She's a bad actress, yeah." However, he was much more pleasant about Catherine, the Princess of Wales, who has gripped social media in recent weeks.
Recalling an encounter with the future Queen, Walsh said: "[I met Kate] at Chelsea Flower Show. And I asked her if she called her son after me," but he later explained that Catherine didn't name Prince Louis after him, adding: "She was charming. She is a beautiful, beautiful girl. Just beautiful."
Celebrity Big Brother declined to comment when approached by the Mirror.
