Louis is Celeb Big Bro fave WALSH AMONG RUMOURED STARS

- Showbiz news with Sandra Mallon

LOUIS Walsh has become an early favourite to win Celebrity Big Brother — as show bosses confirmed its launch date.

Hosted by AJ Odudu and Will Best the show will start on Monday, March 4 on Virgin Media.

The Westlife manager is just 7/1 to win the upcoming series if he has signed up for the show.

Nicola McGeady of Ladbrokes said: “Rumours are swirling when it comes to the upcoming series of Celebrity Big Brother and with Louis Walsh’s name being thrown into the mix, we think he would be one of the front runners to go all the way.”

But last month, the former X Factor judge denied any rumours that he was set to join Celebrity Big Brother.

In an interview last month he said he was approached — but has “no plans” to do it, as he wants to focus on his musical acts including

Westlife and Next in Line.

He told the Sunday World: “I have no plans to do any reality TV this year as right now it’s all about the music for me with Westlife and Next In Line.

Fame

“Believe it or not, I never wanted any personal fame — that is something that happened unexpected­ly when Simon Cowell asked me to be a judge on The X Factor.”

Discussing his acts, Louis added: “It’s still the biggest buzz I get in life, especially when I see the success that Westlife are continuing to enjoy around the world. They’re now more popular and more successful globally than at any other stage in their career.” Other rumoured celebritie­s include ex-Love Island winner Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Amir Khan’s wife Faryal Makhdoom.

Celebrity Big will air each night on Virgin Meand Virgin Media Player.
