Let's talk about Louis Walsh's recent stint on Celebrity Big Brother. The former X Factor judge made quite a stir with his controversial behavior towards fellow contestant Oti Mabuse, causing many viewers to feel uncomfortable. Despite this, he managed to secure fourth place in the show's final and made headlines throughout his time in the famous ITV compound.
Louis didn't hold back when it came to sharing showbiz secrets with fellow contestant Sharon Osbourne. He also didn't hesitate to call out former clients like Jedward and Ronan Keating. But his actions didn't stop there. During the post-final celebration on spin-off show Late & Live, Louis raised eyebrows by slapping Strictly Come Dancing's Oti on the bum.
As the winner of the series, David Potts, was announced, all the housemates gathered for interviews and games on Late & Live. During the comedic award ceremony, Louis was given the "best dancer" trophy, thanks to his questionable twerking skills. He accepted the award with a sense of humor, thanking everyone who helped him, and even gave a little twerk performance with Oti.
The playful moment didn't seem to bother Oti, as she requested to see Louis' twerking one more time, and even started the movement herself before Louis joined in. However, some viewers at home were quick to pick up on the fact that Louis had tapped Oti's backside during the dance. Despite the audience cheering and Oti remaining in good spirits, the clip quickly spread on social media, with some users calling out Louis for his behavior.
The controversy didn't end there. Some viewers were reminded of a similar incident involving Louis and Mel B during his time on The X Factor. In a resurfaced video, Louis can be seen groping the Spice Girls star's bum during a live TV interview. While some viewers defended Louis, others were quick to condemn his actions, with many pointing out that it's never okay to touch someone without their consent.
Louis has since commented on the resurfaced video, claiming it was done as a joke and that it's no longer acceptable in today's society. However, many organizations, including The Survivor's Trust, have spoken out against his behavior, stating that it's never acceptable to touch someone without their consent.
Despite the controversy surrounding his behavior, Louis managed to secure fourth place in the show's final. Whether you agree with his actions or not, there's no denying that Louis' time on Celebrity Big Brother certainly made an impact. If you missed any of the drama, you can catch up on all the episodes on ITVX.
