Louis Walsh makes a subtle jibe at Sharon Osbourne’s surgeries

Celebrity Big Brother‘s Louis Walsh appeared to make a subtle jibe towards fellow X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne during Tuesday night’s episode.

The former X Factor judge, 71, joined Sharon, also 71, in the secret room to judge their fellow celebrities inside the house.

As Louis commented on Lauren Simon’s appearance, Louis quipped: ‘She’s had a bit of work [cosmetic surgery], you’d know wouldn’t you’.

When Louis made the cheeky remark towards Sharon, she brushed off the comment and nodded in agreement.

In 2021, Sharon admitted the facelift she underwent is the ‘worst thing she ever did’ and previously revealed the procedure left her looking like ‘Quasimodo’.

Sharon has been open about her fondness for getting plastic surgery over the years, but hasn’t denied having regrets and last went under the knife in order to fix the botched operation.

The mother-of-three has previously opened up about the disastrous facelift, which took place in October 2021 and took five and a half hours.

Speaking to The Sunday Times, she said: ‘I’m telling you, it was horrendous. I’m, like [to the surgeon], “You’ve got to be f*****g joking.”

‘One eye was different to the other. I looked like a f*****g cyclops. I’m, like, “All I need is a hunchback”.’

Sharon added: ‘I looked like one of those f*****g mummies that they wrap [with bandages]. It hurt like hell. You have no idea.’

The first explosive row has reportedly already broken out between two fiery housemates.

Louis and Lauren Simon have come to blows after both wanting the same double bed, reports The Sun.

Just hours after they entered on Monday’s launch shows the famous faces headed the bedroom to make claim to where they wanted to sleep.

But former X Factor judge Louis, 71, and Real Housewives of Cheshire star Lauren, 51, both reportedly set eyes on the same large double bed.  

Lauren had settled herself on the plush bed only to then be turfed out by Louis who wanted it too, the report claims. 

A source told the publication: ‘Lauren isn’t used to not getting her own way but when it comes to age and star-power Louis of course totally outranks her.

‘It was hard for her to form any kind of solid argument as to why he ought to make way for her to enjoy the bigger bed solo over him, but she put up a good fight.

‘It was the first sign of tension in the house, just hours after the celebs entered – and suggests none of them will be shy about sharing opinions or holding their own.’

Lauren and Louis join the likes of Sharon Osbourne, David Potts, Colson Smith and Nikita Kuzmin on the show.  

Celebrity Big Brother drew in 2.8million viewers during its ITV launch episode on Monday evening – 700,000 more than the last series launch.

The celebrity spin-off of the reality show last aired on Channel 5 in 2018 but was axed after its viewing figures for both the celeb and civilian series dropped.

The first episode of the final celebrity Channel 5 series drew in 2.1 million viewers, peaking with a total of 2.5 million viewers.

However, the ITV relaunch proved to be a ratings hit, as it peaked at 3.2 million viewers across all devices – its highest launch since 2016.

According to overnight reports, during its linear air time alone, ITV1 had more than double the audience of any other channel.

The new series also secured the highest 16-34 audience of the night, with 463,000 and a 42.5 per cent audience share.

It also beat the launch of the civilian series, which aired in October and saw 2.5million people tune in to watch the show return to screens.
