‘OH, YOU UTTER DIVA!’ one person said on X, formerly Twitter. ‘I liked Louis Walsh before he entered, but I’m not liking his personality.’
‘Louis could never tell me move, what??’ said another. ‘That’s so crazy! I would absolutely become the villain on day one and double down on what bed I’m having.’
Another fan wrote: ‘First night and Louis is showing his true self and its not good, he was really rude with the whole bed situation.’
While a fourth wrote: ‘Louis yelling at her to get off the bed, it isn’t his bed anyways! I’d tell him to do one! Irritating man!’
‘Can’t believe Louis just walked into the bedroom and kicked someone off their bed like he owns the place,’ another fan of the show said.
‘Is Louis alright?,’ another wrote. ‘Who you telling UP?,’ while another said: ‘Louis is such a DIVA.’
After the judge kicked Lauren off the bed, Kate Middleton’s uncle Gary Goldsmith said to Louis: ‘That was strong [laughing]: “Up up up”.’
‘I was joking with her she knows I was joking,’ Louis replied bluntly. ‘I think I’m here,’ before sitting on the bed.
‘No that’s mine,’ Louis shouted at Lauren. ‘That’s mine. Up, up, up that’s mine’

‘Lollllll none of you already knew louis walsh is an evil little goblin?’ asked another.
While another wrote: ‘Louis proving why he hasn’t been missed on TV for the last decade with that attitude.’
During the episode, Sharon Osbourne also opened up about her husband Ozzy Osbourne, revealing what he said to her before she entered the house.
