Real reason Louis Walsh hates Fern ‘revealed’ by Celebrity Big Brother fans
CELEBRITY Big Brother fans are convinced that they have figured out the reason reason Louis Walsh hates Fern Britton.
Last night saw the housemates take part in Big Brother's 'You're Gonna Be A Star competition.
The housemates split into boy and girl groups to nail their vocals and dance moves in front of the judging panel - Sharon Osbourne, Louis, Nikita Kuzmin and Marisha Wallace.
Before the performance, Big Brother asked if Fern could be a star, to which Louis quickly replied: "No."
He added: "I don't think she's right for the girl group... Well she's older."
Viewers watching at home were certainly not impressed with his comments.

One said on X, formerly know as Twitter: "Why does Louis dislike Fern? Is it because she reminds him of his own age? The constant ‘she’s old’ comments are rude and weird #CBBUK."
Another added: "Louis is literally 71, he’s 5 years older than Fern. It’s actually mad weird how he’s obsessed with insulting her because of her age when he’s the senior citizen always obsessing over underage boys.
A third chimed in: "Big Brother shouldn't be allowing him to bully/age shame her."
Viewers were also fuming when Louis made a cruel comment about Fern in the bedroom.
As he looked at Ekin-Su, Zeze, Lauren and Fern, he confessed: "I love the way they look.
"Even Fern looks good."
Last night Lauren Simon was the second celebrity to be evicted from the show.
The Real Housewives legend was up against Fern and Louis in the public vote.
Celebrity Big Brother line-up
Who are the 13 stars appearing in the Celebrity Big Brother house? The Sun's Jamie Downham takes a look...
Sharon Osbourne - TV legend - who is a "house guest" 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 and is not above pulling rank over the double bed
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu - As we know from Love Island, the Ek-ster is capable of 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 has left that show behind - as well as his trousers by the look of things
Gary Goldsmith - Kate Middleton's uncle is a big signing for ITV, but has proved a divisive booking among viewers
Marisha Wallace - It's not CBB without the role of 'American who doesn't know what they've let themselves in for' and she's doing brilliantly
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" - and she hasn't backed away from calling people (well, Louis) out
Bradley Riches - The actor played kindly James McEwan in Netflix hit Heartstopper and he seems just as sweet in the house
Lauren Simon - She's a Real Housewives of Cheshire star and you really don't get on that show by being shy and retiring
Asked how she was feeling by hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best as she walked out, she said: "I'm feeling overwhelmed. I've had the most amazing time."
The reality star thinks she knows why she was evicted.
Lauren added: "I'm probably Marmite, you either love me or hate me. Like Louis said, it is what it is. It's just a game."
Sharon also left the show last night.
