‘How dare he!’ rage CBB viewers over Louis Walsh’s harsh insult to hugely famous celeb

LOUIS Walsh was expected to be loose lipped in the Big Brother house, but now the former X Factor judge may have gone a step too far.

Having ripped into his old boss, Simon Cowell and singer Ronan Keating, Walsh has now taken a swipe at celebrated composer, Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, branding him a ‘freak.’

But viewers were less than impressed and now the music manager has been heavily criticised on social media.

In a conversation about Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, Sharon Osbourne praised his 1984 musical Starlight Express, to which Louise replied, “Never saw it Sharon.” He then added “He’s a bit of a freak Lloyd Webber, strange man.”

But fans were not happy with Sir Andrew, who is widely considered to be a national treasure being trashed on live TV.

One fan wrote: “Not Louis coming for Lloyd Webber.”

Another underscored his anger by saying “Oh my god not even Andrew Lloyd Webber is safe from the wrath of Louis Walsh.”

Meanwhile another said: “Louis Walsh has no filter, even Andrew Lloyd Webber isn’t safe.”

Walsh also hit out at his former protégé Ronan Keating, 47, who was the lead singer of Boyzone, one of the bands he managed.

As Ronan’s song played in the Celebrity Big Brother House, Louis said, “Great song”, before turning the air blue, when he snapped, “He was such a prick, everybody think’s he's a lovely guy, do you know what I mean. He hasn’t had a hit record since I left, he sacked me.”

But after branding the successful twin pop duo Jedward, ‘vile’ after they were discovered on the X Factor, the Irish twins bit back.

"Louis Walsh is a cold-hearted b*****d who didn’t even send us flowers when our mom died," they posted to their 641,000 followers on X, formerly known as Twitter.

After forty years in show business, Louis has been around the block and now fans are fascinated to see which celebs are next in line to be Walshed.
