Louis Walsh ‘bombarded’ with calls from famous singers ‘begging him’ to keep their scandals secret on Celeb Big Brother
LOUIS Walsh has been receiving worried phone calls from famous singers "begging" him to keep his mouth shut about their secret scandals.
Throughout his 30-year career in the music industry, Louis has been close to some of the world's biggest stars - managing boybands like Boyzone and Westlife.
Now as he prepares to enter Celebrity Big Brother this evening, Louis has been bombarded with warnings from his well-known friends against spilling the beans.
An insider told The Sun: "Since it was leaked that Louis is heading into Celebrity Big Brother, there have been a lot of singers worried that he's going to blab about their biggest secrets.
"Louis has been around for so long and knows everyone - he's got enough stories to last a lifetime.
"There are some members of certain bands he's managed over the years who are nervous that he's going to get carried away in front of the cameras and let slip some of their scandals that have remained unknown to the public... until now."

Louis is one of the ITV reboot's biggest signings - having negociated a big deal-breaker with CBB bosses.
The X Factor star is believed to have landed himself a bumper six-figure pay packet to take part in the ITV show - but it all balanced on the huge demand that his close friend and former X Factor co-star Sharon Osbourne joined him.
Louis and Sharon worked together as judges on The X Factor for a big chunk of the show's 14-year reign.
The pair were notorious for causing trouble on set and they were best pals off screen, too.
Sharon and Louis last appeared on The X Factor together in 2017. The show was axed after the following series.
Celebrity Big Brother kicks off on Monday with a movie-length launch show.
The Sun revealed the full Celebrity Big Brother line up today, which also includes Love Island, Strictly and This Morning stars.
But Sharon won't be entering the CBB house alongside all the other contestants.
Instead she's going to be a bonus addition to the ITV show - and will stay just five days.
She's raking in £100,000 a day to be in there.
