Ronan Keating branded Louis Walsh a “jealous bullsh***er” in an expletive rant.
The 71-year-old used to manage Ronan when he was part of the band Boyzone. But their relationship turned sour in the Noughties when the singer embarked on a solo career.
Following his success, Ronan felt like he had no choice but to part ways with Louis. In 2006, the 47-year-old was caught on tape hitting out at his former manager, claiming he was “jealous” and “selfish”.

In the tape obtained by The Sun, Ronan fumed: “He hurt me, he really hurt me and he knows it. I don’t have any time for the guy. We’re a million miles from each other.

“I’ve no respect for Louis because he has none for me. He was very jealous of me. I had to sack him because he wouldn’t manage me.”
The Irish singer added: “He’s a very selfish character. It’s bullsh** man. He’s a bullsh***er.” Louis launched a fresh attack on Ronan during an episode of Celebrity Big Brother last week.
His remarks came when the housemates were treated to some music during the evening and Ronan’s solo single Life Is A Rollercoaster began playing. “Great song,” Louis said to Sharon Osbourne.

But he quickly added: “He was such a p***k. Everyone thinks he’s a lovely guy. He hasn’t had a hit record since I left. He sacked me.”
Ronan isn’t the only person Louis has swiped at during his time on the ITV show. John and Edward Grimes, better known as Jedward, appeared on The X Factor in 2009 and were mentored by Louis.

He then served as their manager after the show finished before they decided to part ways. Last week, Louis told the world how he really felt about the identical duo, branding them “vile”.
In the episode, Coronation Street star Colson Smith asked him: “What were Jedward like?” Not afraid to speak his mind, he responded: “They were vile. I got five mission quid for them though, I swear on my mothers life.”
Explaining more, he added: “They were vile. But they were novelty and it was great for the show. It’s all about the show.”
