Louis Walsh had another pop at Fern Britton in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
The 71-year-old has become notorious in the house for his candid and often “rude” takes while on the ITV show. But on Tuesday night (March 19), Louis made another comment regarding Fern’s age despite her being five years younger than him.
In the Diary Room, X Factor star Louis spoke about his astonishment to find out that Fern had voted him to be evicted from the house by leaving a toy snake on his bed. But it backfired on Fern when Louis was given immunity instead.

Fern later confessed to the house that she was given a secret task to get rid of one housemate. But while in the Diary Room, Louis said Fern is an “actress”, that she’s “been around for 100 years” and that she “knows what she’s doing”.

Seeing Louis take a swipe at Fern again, fans headed straight over to social media again. One fan said: “Louis saying fern has been around for 100 years when she is younger than him.”
Another echoed: “Louis saying fern has been around 100 years when he’s literally 5 years older has killed me yet again. He’s a clown.”
A third added: “If ferns been around 100 years, Louis remembers the dinosaurs.” While a fourth said: “Louis saying that Fern has been here 100 years yet he’s older then her. He makes me laugh so much.”

It comes after Louis suggested Fern didn’t belong in the girl group during the talent show task, You’re Going to be a Star, because of her age. Last week, in the X Factor-styled challenge the Housemates formed girl and boy bands and were judged on their performances by Louis, Sharon Osbourne, Strictly’s Nikita Kuzmin and stage star Marisha Wallace.

But as the celebs geared up to perform, Louis appeared to make jabs in Fern’s direction. Louis said Fern should “go to the back” of the girl group when they appear on stage.
Speaking to co-star Sharon Osbourne, Louis said: “I don’t think she’s right… for the girl group and she’s older. We’re gonna put her in the back.” But the former X Factor judge didn’t stop there, as he then went on to make a dig about Fern’s appearance alongside the other women in the house when they dressed up to strut their stuff.
