Celebrity Big Brother fans have been left gobsmacked after Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh slated The X Factor – and Simon Cowell.
The duo have known each other for decades, and were both judges on the defunct ITV talent show. And in the Celebrity Big Brother house, the twosome let rip about their old job and their old boss.
Speaking in Mrs O’s private room, Sharon, 71, and Louis, also 71, got into it about how Simon had both fired them from the show. But things soon turned personal, when Sharon took aim at her former friend’s dress sense.

“Somebody that dresses the same for probably three decades, you would say they don’t see that it’s not right,” she said. “But yet nobody’s gonna tell him.”

Turning her attention to The X Factor, she went on: “Everything’s the same, the same, ‘Oh, do you have another song?'” Louis added: “‘I didn’t like it, I loved it.’ The same s***.
“‘What age are you? Tell me your story.'”
Sharon branded it “all cr*p”. Louis said: “It was funny the first time around.”
Recalling how auditions would go, Sharon added: “‘Do you have another song maybe?’ ‘Oh yeah, I just happen to have another backing track up my a**e, here you go.'”

Fans have been left amazed that Sharon and Louis seemingly exposed just how manufactured The X Factor was. Although many had believed it for years, anyway.
One person said on X, formerly Twitter: “Louis and Sharon proving that X Factor was a complete fix all those years ago!” Another wrote: “Did Sharon Osbourne just admit that the X Factor was a fix and fake, that it was all set up omg.”

A third said: “Sharon does not give a f**k and is confirming all the X Factor rumours we all knew and heard.” Someone else went on: “Not Sharon confirming that the X Factor was fake and scripted I mean, we knew, but now it’s confirmed.”
Another said: “I’m actually surprised ITV aired that conversation between Sharon and Louis calling the X Factor bulls**t I mean we all knew anyway but ITV not even trying to cover it up at this point.” And someone else said: “Louis and Sharon telling us X Factor was a load of cr*p, like we didn’t know anyway.”
Celebrity Big Brother airs 9pm on ITV and ITVX
