Another famous face has entered the star-studded Celebrity Big Brother house!
Talent show judge and music manager Louis Walsh will be making his mark on Celebrity Big Brother as he leaves behind a life of luxury to live with 10 other famous faces, in the hopes of being crowned the next winner.
Rumours of Walsh’s participation on Celebrity Big Brother have been rife for months and now viewers will get to watch him in real time for the next three weeks, unless shock nominations mean his days in the house are numbered.
This year’s celebrity series will have two live evictions each week, meaning no one is safe as the competition is even more tense.
Speaking to RadioTimes.com and other press ahead of the show’s launch, hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best said: “We’re gonna get double the time.” Odudu added: “Every time on the last series, we’d be like, ‘Oh my gosh’. A week fell like a lifetime. Whereas now, [it’s] midweek”.
As Louis Walsh begins to make himself at home, read on for everything you need to know about the Celebrity Big Brother 2024 housemate.

“They don’t just want big names in there – they want stars who will bring something truly intriguing. Louis is just the kind of figure they want in the house – someone with serious life experience who not only has something to say, but isn’t afraid to say it.”
