Sinitta hits back at Louis Walsh and reveals how they really met after his savage comments on Celebrity Big Brother
SINITTA has given sharp-tongued Louis Walsh a taste of his own medicine after his comments on Celebrity Big Brother.
The former X Factor judge, 71, hasn’t held back on spilling the tea about a number of famous faces during his time on the ITV reboot, and the Toy Boy singer was the latest subject.
One such spot of gossip was about British-American singer Sinitta, 60 – a former girlfriend of his X Factor co-star Simon Cowell, 64.
Louis has been gushing about the role Simon played in helping him start out in the music manager industry prior to him taking on Boyzone as clients.
Yet with the So Macho songstress, he agreed with a remark about her saying she had “given her life” to music mogul Simon – while also failing to recall how he met her.
In a chat with BFF Sharon Osbourne, another X Factor judging alumni, in the Celebrity Big Brother bedroom.
Sharon suggested Simon “doesn’t know how to keep friends” and suggested the name: “Sinitta.”
Louis quickly replied: “I like her, she’s mad but she’s very loyal to him.”
Sharon interjected: “Oh dedicated her life to him,” before Louis added: “I like her, if you know what I mean.
“There’s something. Harmless.”
Sinitta and Simon were on and off dating for 20 years.
Yet now Sinitta she has clapped back at Irishman Louis, taking to her page on X to write: “I introduced #louiswalsh to @SimonCowell back in the day LouLou was my promoter and driver taking me all over Ireland to radio stations and clubs to promote my Records…
Celebrity Big Brother line-up
Who are the 13 stars appearing in the Celebrity Big Brother house? The Sun's Jamie Downham takes a look...
Sharon Osbourne – TV legend – who is a “house guest” on a megabucks deal – said she was doing the show for “a good time not a long time”
Louis Walsh – Irish boyband manager who has never knowingly backed down from a fight and is not above pulling rank over the double bed
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu – As we know from Love Island, the Ek-ster is capable of throwing about some dramatics to claw her way to the final
Levi Roots – Reggae Reggae Sauce sauce packs a bit of a kick, but its inventor seems quite mild-mannered. Will that change under pressure?
Fern Britton – The former This Morning star called out Phillip Schofield – don’t think she won’t do the same to anyone who tangles with her
Colson Smith – You’ll probably know him best as Corrie’s Craig Tinker – but prepare to find out he’s not much like his character
David Potts – Ibiza Weekender’s breakout star has left that show behind – as well as his trousers by the look of things
Gary Goldsmith – Kate Middleton’s uncle is a big signing for ITV, but has proved a divisive booking among viewers
Marisha Wallace – It’s not CBB without the role of ‘American who doesn’t know what they’ve let themselves in for’ and she’s doing brilliantly
Nikita Kuzmin – The Strictly pro is coming onto the show fresh off the show’s tour. Poor lad probably just wants a rest
Zeze Mills – the social media star has a “no holds barred interview style” – and she hasn’t backed away from calling people (well, Louis) out
Bradley Riches – The actor played kindly James McEwan in Netflix hit Heartstopper and he seems just as sweet in the house
Lauren Simon – She’s a Real Housewives of Cheshire star and you really don’t get on that show by being shy and retiring
“He was great fun and took great care of me, how has he forgotten our early days?!!!”
This prompted one fan to reply: “We need Sinitta in the house!”
One fan then mused: “He is getting on a bit wonder if he’s genuinely forgotten stuff. I’m a lot younger and I do.”
A third added: “He has pressed his selective memory gold button Sinitta … game plans are obviously more important these days!!”
One added: “He’s been very kind about you in fairness to him. Very complimentary,” before she conceded: “He has! He has really been himself as well.”
During the same series, Osbournes star Sharon has branded Simon “snotty” after their epic feud was unveiled.
Louis has been causing a stir since entering the CBB compound, with fans calling out the former Westlife manager after his vicious comments about Colson Smith’s appearance.
During the first episode, he called out two potential love interests off the bat.
He also put his foot in it when he revealed he knew the cast.
Following the first eviction night, he took a brutal swipe at Gary Goldsmith after he was the first to be given the boot.
