CBB viewers in hysterics at Sharon and Louis judging new housemates

Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne were an iconic duo when they were judges together during the early days of The X Factor, and now thanks to the revival of Celebrity Big Brother, the pair have been reunited!

Both Sharon and Louis entered the CBB house during Monday night's (4th March) live launch show, with 'lodger' Sharon immediately being given a secret task by Big Brother, which involved the help of old friend Louis.

The pair were asked to sit in a secret room and watch the rest of the celebs enter the house, and it's safe to say their honest and somewhat brutal reactions to certain housemates left viewers in absolute stitches.

Whilst it seemed like 71-year-old Louis had carried out research on his fellow housemates, knowing everything about most people, Sharon was left in shock at certain things, especially when reality star David Potts entered with VERY short shorts.

On first sight of Ibiza Weekender star David, 71-year--old Sharon gasped: "Oh dear. Interesting," before later saying to Louis: "His fruit and veg are hanging down!"

When Louis asked: "Why are you looking there?", Mrs O replied: "I can't help it, I can see them bouncing around."

After seeing the pair's reactions throughout the show, viewers took to social media to express their humour.

One wrote: 'SCREAMING AT LOUIS AND SHARON'S REACTION TO DAVID POTTS!!!!!!', with another adding 'Louis and Sharon giving Gogglebox, love it #CBB #CBBUK'. (sic)

A third wrote: 'Sharon and Louis judging everything about everyone is simply iconic', with another commenting: '#CBB is going to be prime tv, Louis Walsh and Sharon Osborne already, oh I love it'. (sic)

As viewers will know, Sharon and Louis were given the task to choose three housemates to put at risk of nominations from their first impressions, choosing David Potts, Zeze Millz and Gary Goldsmith.

And the entertainment didn't end there, as when Big Brother asked Sharon why she'd chosen the three, Louis interjected, saying: "We didn't like them."

Check out the full Celebrity Big Brother line-up below:

Despite heading into the house on Day One, unfortunately Sharon won't be taking part in the full series. It's understood her role as 'house lodger' will last for five days, with reports suggesting she's being paid a huge £500,000 fee.

Sharon has also been given her own bedroom and bathroom in the house, whilst the other housemates share facilities.

Celebrity Big Brother airs every Sunday-Friday at 9pm on ITV/STV.
