The former X Factor judge doesn't mince his words in Tuesday's episode

Louis Walsh has left Celebrity Big Brother fans worried he may land himself in hot water with today's cancel culture warriors.

In a preview clip for Tuesday night's episode, Walsh's comments about fellow housemate and reality TV star David Potts appear to have left some ITV viewers fearing the worst.


Along with Sharon Osbourne, Big Brother revealed during Monday's premiere that the former X Factor duo would be watching their fellow housemates from afar and would judge each celeb on their first impressions.

Those who failed to endear themselves to Walsh and Osbourne would be at risk of the first public eviction.

In Tuesday's episode, Walsh and Osbourne reintegrate with the house but a sneak peek released hours before the instalment hints at a frosty reception for Walsh.

It kicks off with both Walsh and Osbourne grimacing at the sight of Potts's legs after the reality TV star decided to show off his tanned pins upon his arrival.

"No, we don't want to see those legs. And it's too much fake tan," Walsh critiques before both he and Osbourne grimace when Potts crosses his legs.

"Oh, no, no, no. Cover it up," Walsh cries as the pair watch on through the screen.

Later in the preview clip, Walsh and Osbourne enter the main house.

Walsh then tells Zeze Millz and Marisha Wallace they'd been watching "everything" but stopped short of delving too much into details.

Later, Walsh and Potts chat on the bar stools, with the conversation clearly to do with the X Factor judge's perception of the Ibiza Weekender star.

"At least you're individual," Walsh says to which an unimpressed Potts replies: "The thing is, Louis...

"I don't give a s**t what anyone thinks of me. Do you know what I mean?"

"Good, good, good," Walsh responds as Potts continues: "And if you want to come to me with your opinion, I'll listen to it, but I don't give a s**t."

With the preview circulating online hours before Tuesday's episode, Walsh's antics appear to have fallen flat with some, including one X user who said of the sneak peek: "I can see them both getting themselves cancelled."

Potts was defended by another fan who commented: "I’m sorry but no one could ever make me not like david idc."

Cancellation fears had been coming in from fans hours before the preview emerged too, including another ITV viewer who mused; "I feel like Louis Walsh has the potential to get himself cancelled from the few clips already shown, eekkkk #CelebrityBigBrother #CBBUK."

And a fellow viewer agreed: "Louis and Sharon surely one of them will get cancelled after this !!! I’m here for them!! #CBBUK."

"Sharon and Louis are right on the cliff edge of being cancelled during this season, who told them this is a good idea #CBBUK," added another while the concerns kept on coming: "Louis is gonna get himself cancelled I fear #cbbuk." (sic)
