Sally Ann Matthews brands Louis Walsh ‘vile’ following comments about co-star Colson Smith

The drama unfolds in the Celebrity Big Brother house as Louis Walsh, the 71-year-old X Factor judge, finds himself at the centre of controversy less than two days into the show. His remarks about fellow housemate and Coronation Street actor Colson Smith have sparked a feud with Smith’s co-star, Sally Ann Matthews.

Matthews, known for her role as Jenny Bradley on the iconic ITV soap, expressed her disdain for Walsh’s behaviour on social media, describing him as “vile” early into the season. Her comments come after Walsh made fun of Smith’s ears during the show’s launch night, an action that did not sit well with Matthews or the fans.

Fans of the show rallied behind Matthews, echoing her sentiments in the comments section of her post. Many criticized Walsh’s perceived arrogance and rudeness, particularly towards Smith. One viewer remarked on Walsh’s attitude, suggesting he views himself as the most prominent character in the house due to his fame.

Matthews has been vocal in her support for her Coronation Street colleague, openly criticizing Walsh’s mockery of Smith’s appearance on launch night. This incident is not the first time Matthews has stood up for a fellow cast member, showing her loyalty to her co-stars and readiness to defend them against unwarranted criticism.

Walsh’s behaviour in the house has drawn the attention of other participants and viewers alike. His strategy of critiquing fellow contestants, including a jibe at Marisha Wallace for her singing and comments on David Potts’ appearance, has led to accusations of “snakey” behaviour, especially after he seemingly placed the responsibility for nominating housemates for eviction on Sharon Osbourne.

As Celebrity Big Brother progresses, viewers are keenly watching the dynamics within the house, especially those involving Walsh. His actions and comments have stirred up emotions among the participants and fans, setting the stage for what promises to be an eventful season.
