Fans Accuse Celebrity Big Brother Producers of Rigging Show to Ensure Louis Walsh Reaches Final: What's His ITV Paycheck?

Celebrity Big Brother fans have slammed the show as rigged, after a twist made Louis Walsh go straight through to the final.

Monday’s show saw Big Brother call for one housemate to go to the diary room during the St Patrick’s Day festivities.

Colson Smith was quick to nominate Fern Britton to go, saying: ‘You’re the only one I trust’.

As she entered the diary room, Fern found a pot of gold on the diary room chair with a red toy snake on top.

To her shock, Big Brother told her: ‘Fern you’ve just found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.’

‘That means you’ve been granted one wish, the biggest wish of all. You must choose one housemate to be evicted.’

To select the Housemate she would like to evict, Fern had to to secretly place the red snake on their pillow.

She chose Louis to be evicted, saying he would repeat rambling conversations with her and to protect her ‘own sanity’ he had to go.

The housemates were later told to find ‘a slivery intruder in the bedroom’, and Louis discovered the snake on his pillow.

However, Big Brother then revealed there was a twist, as they had lied to Fern about the snake task.

Louis was called to the diary room where Big Brother revealed instead of being evicted, he had won the luck of the Irish and was safe from nominations, meaning he was guaranteed a spot in the final.

Viewers at home were furious at the ‘disappointing’ twist, accusing ITV of setting it up to ensure Louis got to the final and fuming: ‘We aren’t stupid’.

One tweeted: ‘I’ve never seen a bigger fix than this twist specifically to get Louis Walsh to the final. They knew they’d all pick Louis & knew Louis is too lazy to go to the diary room’.

Another echoed: ‘They have absolutely fixed this so Louis could be in the final as they all knew they’d evict Louis… wtf is the point producers x’.

A third wrote: ‘The ITV producers were clearly so desperate to make sure that Louis made it to the final to introduce this unnecessary twist’.

A fourth said: ‘im sorry how much has louis walsh paid itv he just does nothing at all in that house and is now going through to the final… right okay’.

While another added: ‘This show has been so fixed for Louis to get to the final, it was probably even added to his contract #spinelessITV’.

And a sixth agreed, saying: ‘i feel like someone on Louis’ team has payed a lot of money to keep him in to the final. all these things that have happened are just too coincidental’.

Someone else penned: ‘So Louis is going to win Big Brother and with the special treatment he’s received I feel like it’s all been a set up. Very disappointing’.

While an eighth quipped: ‘This twist is so convoluted yet so transparent. Maybe Louis IS Big Brother’.

And a ninth raged: ‘I thought you were better than this @ITV there’s a difference between a twist and then straight up lying about a task, they did this to rig Louis to the final. Have you not learned fans of the show don’t like production over-interfering?’
