The Irish music manager and television personality, 71, told his CBB housemates Zeze and David during Tuesday's episode: 'We were in the final, JLs, alongside Alexandra Burke, and we got West Life.' 'Simon loved Cheryl and what did he do, book her Beyoncé. That's what he's like. That's why he's liked.
'Walsh was as high as 33/1 in the outright winner market last week but has been backed all the way into 2/1 as of Monday afternoon, making him the narrow favourite ahead of Nikita Kuzmin . It comes after Celebrity Big Brother fans slammed the show as rigged, after a twist made Louis go straight through to the final.

The Irish music manager and television personality, 71, has caused plenty of controversy with his sharp remarks on a host of famous names while in the house. A third wrote: 'The ITV producers were clearly so desperate to make sure that Louis made it to the final to introduce this unnecessary twist'.
Someone else penned: 'So Louis is going to win Big Brother and with the special treatment he’s received I feel like it’s all been a set up. Very disappointing'. The former X Factor judge reignited his longstanding feud with Ronan, whose career he managed while he was a member of Boyzone.
