Give him another chance.
Louis Walsh has really made the most of his time in the Big Brother house.
From being absolutely roasted by Jedward after he insulted them on live TV, to chatting shite about Simon Cowell with Sharon Osbourne, once again seemingly not realising (or caring) that he is being filmed.
In another bombshell bit of info, the pop manager revealed the brutal reason for why he rejected Colin Farrell after his audition for Boyzone, and it makes very little sense.
Chatting to fellow contestants, Coronation Street actor Colson Smith and TV presenter Fern Britton, Walsh said: “I know him very well as he auditioned for Boyzone and he told me he wanted to be an actor. I knew him from Dublin.”
Walsh goes on to say of his audition: “I said, ‘You can’t sing, I can’t give you the gig’ because I knew him very well.”
A bizarre reason to reject someone for Boyzone, considering that Shane Lynch has admitted to not being able to sing when he joined the band.
On top of that Keith Duffy once revealed that he had to be taught how to sing later in his career.

Walsh also chatted about how he laughed off the idea of Farrell becoming an actor at the time of the audition.
“He said to me, ‘Oh, I wanna be an actor’ and I said, ‘You’re wasting your f***ing time.'”
Farrell has discussed his audition before, telling ex-Late Late host Ryan Tubridy, “I was on the dance floor of The Pod nightclub. I was giving it socks on the dance floor and I went into the bar next door afterwards and I was told this fella wants to talk to you and it was Louis Walsh.
“He said, ‘I’m getting this band together and it’s gonna be great, and you’d be wonderful.’
“I was wearing a tight rubber t-shirt and leather pants, so I was ready to come on and impress Gay [Byrne].”
The Banshees of Inisherin star added that, despite his best efforts, his singing wasn’t up to the standard expected for the band.
“Terrible tune coming out of this mouth, murdered it,” he said. “It was so bad that they asked me, ‘Could you do that a sec… could you do that again?’
“And I sang it a second time and I didn’t feel great about myself afterwards and I went home afterwards… and the phone rang and my mother said Louis Walsh was on the phone for me.
“It was at the bottom of the stairs so I took the phone and he went, ‘Look, Colin listen, it’s not going to work, you know”
That fella really could have made something of himself, what a shame.
