Music tycoon Louis Walsh is set to leave "Celebrity Big Brother" following the departure of his friend Sharon Osbourne. At least, that is what many are expecting.
This is especially true after his conduct on the show received a lot of criticism from the viewers.
It happens after he calls the identical twins "vile," starting a verbal spat with the Irish musical group Jedward, whom he once managed. Retaliating, the brothers referred to him as a "cold-hearted b*****d."
Louis Walsh Leaving "Celebrity Big Brother" Next?
According to the Sun UK, Louis, 71, will likely depart now that insiders say he has made it plain he will not sign up for the show without Sharon by his side.
However, the former music manager and judge on "X Factor" would still be paid in full for his ITV show.
According to a source, Louis would only enter the show if Sharon was scheduled to attend.
CBB exerted great effort to make it happen.
But now, all those efforts may go to waste.
"They know Louis is a flight risk, but now Sharon is gone, and no one would be surprised if he left. Louis will still receive his full fee, so he has nothing to lose."

"Without Sharon, he would be lost as they have such a close friendship in the house."
"Everyone is on high alert for Louis to throw in the towel, but he's making such good television, the producers are praying that he will stay."
A second source informed The Sun that Half of what Sharon, 71, was paid for her week-long engagement was Louis' fee, which was approximately £250,000.
All the Negative Things Louis Walsh Said on TV
Boyzone and Westlife's manager, Louis, has made headlines for his outrageous behavior in the reality show.
He even called singer and manager Ronan Keating a "pr**k" and said the singer lost his career after sacking him as his manager.
He attacked Jedward on Tuesday, and the twins, who were at their celebrity friend Gemma Collins' place for dinner and a hot pool, responded angrily.
A while back, he also attacked Meghan Markle out of the blue, asking Sharon Osbourne if she thinks anyone like Prince Harry's wife apart from, of course, her husband.
The Jedward twins did not just call Walsh cold-hearted after he picked on them on the show.
In a statement, the twins also said "Louis reopened these wounds all by himself being spiteful and disrespectful."
