Louis Walsh slammed both Ronan Keating and Andrew Lloyd Webber during Tuesday’s episode of Celebrity Big Brother.
The former X Factor judge, 71, reignited his long-running feud with Ronan Keating, whose career he managed while a member of Boyzone.
During the evening, the housemates were treated to some music and Ronan’s solo single Life Is A Rollercoaster started playing.
“Great song,” Louis said before leaning over to Sharon Osbourne and adding, “He was so great.”
Then he said, ‘Everyone thinks he’s a nice guy, you know what I mean?’

Elsewhere during the show, Louis had some nice words for composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, who he called a “freak.”
As the song continued to play, Louis criticized Ronan’s career, saying, “He hasn’t had a hit since I left.” He fired me.”
Louis has lashed out at Ronan numerous times over the years, including previously calling him “talentless and spoiled.”
In an interview with Q Magazine in 2012, he said: ‘Having nice hotels and chauffeur-driven cars turned his head, and he thought he could write songs.
“If you’re Ronan Keating, who was working in a shoe store when I discovered him, but ends up thinking you’re George Michael, then you need to be stopped.”
Ronan has occasionally fired back, previously saying on Magic FM that he didn’t want to work with someone who didn’t respect him.
He said: “(Louis) was very important to me as a mentor and I am grateful for the opportunities he gave me because without them I wouldn’t be here.
“But you can only give back so much and be so grateful, and that’s not appreciated or respected.”

Louis criticized both Ronan and Andrew during a conversation with his girlfriend Sharon Osbourne
He mentioned the 1984 musical Starlight Express for which Andrew wrote the music and Sharon said she loved it.
“Never seen that before, Sharon,” Louis said, to which Sharon replied, “Oh, it was so good.”
Louis said, “He’s a bit of a freak, Lloyd Webber, strange man.”
“I thought he was gay,” Sharon said.
“No, the opposite,” Louis said. “He was married to Sarah Brightman, she has a great voice.”
Andrew was married to Sarah from 1984 to 1990. The following year he married Madeleine Gurdon, with whom he has been together ever since.
