Earlier in the episode Louis Walsh revealed he’d been diagnosed with a ‘rare’ type of cancer in 2020 as he spoke about the major health scare for the first time.

The former X Factor star, 71, revealed he had Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia a rare type of blood cancer but has since been given the all clear after receiving treatment in Dublin. 

Discussing his health with fellow housmates Levi and Ekin-Su he told the pair that ‘no one knew he was sick’. 

Levi asked how Louis spent the Coronavirus lockdown, he replied: ‘I was sick, and I think nobody knew I was sick. I had cancer. A mild version, a rare one.’

Levi asked: ‘Which part? Pancreatic Cancer?’

‘In my blood, I didn’t even know that I had it until I went to the hospital, and then they checked me, checked me, checked me, then they found it.

‘They said it’s a rare one, and I said [shrugs] gone. Gone’, replied Louis. 

The music manager admitted being diagnosed with cancer left him in ‘shock’ and gave him a ‘reality check’.

What is Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia?

  • Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia  is also known as lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma.
  • It is a rare form of low-grade lymphoma (a type of bone marrow cancer), which is associated in most cases with the presence of an excessive amount of abnormal protein in the blood.
  • Due to the rarity of the condition, in the UK University College London Hospital has the largest referral practice for this condition 
  • The cancer usually develops over a long period of time with some people having no symptoms. It can be discovered when blood tests are done for some other reason. 
  • Symptoms can be caused by lymphoma cells building up in the bone marrow. The lymphoma cells take up space, which makes it difficult for the bone marrow to make enough normal blood cells. 
  • The most common symptoms are: feeling weak and tired (fatigue), looking very pale or feeling breathless because of a lack of red blood cells (anaemia), repeated infections because of a lack of healthy white blood cells (which help fight infection), bruising or bleeding easily heavy, drenching night sweats weight loss. 
  • Blood Cancer UK can offer advice and support 

He continued: ‘It did affect me mentally, I got to be honest with you. [Points to his head] it’s just up here, even when I go past a hospital I almost get sick. 

‘It’s all gone, I’m fine. It was just the shock of being sick and that word…nobody wants that word.

‘I have it blocked out, a reality check, you see so many people sick and it’s terrible.

‘In my world it was all about pop music and all that. I didn’t think of anybody getting sick or anything like that. And that was like wow reality check, you’re in the real world.’
