Former The X Factor judge Louis Walsh has reportedly reached a deal to take part in Celebrity Big Brother.
The music mogul, 71, has been in the industry for decades, managing acts such as Westlife, Boyzone and Jedward.
Despite a recent report suggesting that Walsh had refused an offer to appear on CBB, The Sun now says that he has accepted a six-figure contract.
"He is one of the most intriguing signings for Celebrity Big Brother because he has almost half a century of experience in showbusiness to recall when he enters the house," a source told the newspaper.
"Viewers will be most interested in his memories of his time on The X Factor and working with huge music acts including Westlife and Boyzone.
"But there may be a few celebrities outside the house who are feeling nervous about what he might say, because Louis is notoriously outspoken."
Celebrity Big Brother launches on ITV1 on Monday, March 4. body check tags ::
