CBB fans gobsmacked as Louis Walsh makes major Britney Spears revelation
CELEBRITY Big Brother fans have been left gobsmacked as Louis Walsh revealed a major secret about popstar Britney Spears.
The Irish music manager, 71, is currently inside the CBB house and has already shared a slew of stories from his time in the showbiz world.
Now the star has spoken about his most A-list connection to date after he opened up on the two days he spent working side-by-side with Toxic hitmaker Britney Spears.
Louis worked alongside the star intensely in 2012 when he appeared as a guest judge during the audition stage of The X Factor USA.
Britney was appearing as a full-time panellist on the programme on a reported $15 million deal.
Louis stood in for Simon Cowell for two days on the panel alongside Britney and the show's other judges Demi Lovato and L.A. Reid.

However, he did not hold back when it came to discussing the star as he revealed a big secret about the singer.
He told Ekin-Su and Marisha Wallace that she wore earplugs for the whole of the two days that he insinuated blocked out the other judges.
Louis said: "I sat with Britney, She was there but she wasn't really 'there'.
"She had earplugs in!
"She was just..."
Louis then pulled a face with his mouth open to insinuate she wasn't quite aware of her surroundings.
Ekin then revealed she thought "Hollywood had damaged" Britney as Louis appeared to agree.
Reacting to his comments online, one said: "Louis Walsh talking about Britney Spears was not on my 2024 bingo card."
As another wrote: "Not Louis exposing Britney."
Before a third fan said: "Louis talking about Britney is actually breaking my heart."
His comments comes as Louis left CBB fans shocked when his 'real' name was uncovered.
The 71-year-old boy band manager is actually called Michael Vincent Walsh, however, prefers to use the name Louis.
It's caused quite a lot of head scratching over the years, with one person saying on X: "Can’t believe Louis Walsh’s real name is Michael."

Celebrity Big Brother line-up
So who are the 13 stars expected to appear in the Celebrity Big Brother house? The Sun's Jamie Downham takes a look...
Sharon Osbourne - TV legend - who is thought to be on a megabucks deal - said she was doing the show for "a good time not a long time"
Louis Walsh - Irish boyband manager who has never knowingly backed down from a fight. Sure to be a huge presence in the house.
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu - We know from Love Island, the Ek-ster is not above throwing about some dramatics to claw her way to the final.
Levi Roots - Reggae Reggae Sauce sauce packs a bit of a kick, but its inventor seems quite mild-mannered. Will that change under pressure?
Fern Britton - The former This Morning star called out Phillip Schofield - don't think she won't do the same to anyone who tangles with her.
Colson Smith - You'll probably know him best as Corrie's Craig Tinker - but prepare to find out he's not much like his character.
David Potts - Ibiza Weekender's breakout star is sure to bring a bit of the party isle to the house... but will people appreciate it?
Gary Goldsmith - Kate Middleton's uncle is a big signing for ITV, but very much an unknown quantity among viewers.
Marisha Wallace - Top Broadway star may fill the brief of 'American who doesn't know what they've let themselves in for'.
Nikita Kuzmin - The Strictly pro is coming onto the show fresh off the show's tour. Poor lad probably just wants a rest.
Zeze Mills - the social media star has a "no holds barred interview style" - which is just what we need in there.
Bradley Riches - The actor played sweet James McEwan in Netflix hit Heartstopper. We'll soon find out what he's really like.
