WITH just days before the final, Louis Walsh is still dropping names – and this time it’s someone very famous.
In tonight’s episode, the 66-year-old tells his housemates all about his surprise friendship with Irish superstar Colin Farrell, who has starred in a string of Hollywood blockbusters.
Sitting in the kitchen with Colson Smith and Fern Britton, Louis explained: “I know him very well as he auditioned for Boyzone and he told me he wanted to be an actor, I knew him from Dublin”
Fern commented: “And now he has an Oscar, doesn’t he?”
As history shows, Louis turned him down for the band – and even suggested he gave up trying to be a star.
Speaking of his audition, Louis recalled: “I said ‘you can’t sing, I can’t give you the gig’ because I knew him very well. And he said to me ‘oh I wanna be an actor’ and I said ‘you’re wasting your f***ing time.’”

Louis added: “He went and he worked, no no, he worked it”
Completely awestruck, Colson gushed: “He’s amazing”, while Ferne added: “And he’s very cool.”
During his time in the house, Louis has spilled the beans on a series of very famous faces, including Simon Cowell, Mariah Carey and Cheryl.
He has also taken a pop at Ronan Keating, calling him a "p***k", while adding: "Everybody thinks he's a lovely guy."
Fellow Irish entertainers Jedward, who were discovered on The X Factor and looked after by Louis, did not escape a tonguelashing either.
He said of the two brothers, real names John and Edward Grimes: "I got five million quid for them ... and they were vile. But their novelty was great for the show."
