Celebrity Big Brother’s Louis Walsh ‘frightened’ of ‘fiery’ Sharon Osbourne, says expert
EXCLUSIVE: ITV viewers saw Louis Walsh reunite with Sharon Osbourne during the launch show of Celebrity Big Brother on Monday night.
Louis Walsh enters the Celebrity Big Brother house
Celebrity Big Brother kicked off on Monday night with a twist which saw former X Factor judges Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne set a secret task. Although the pair seemed thrilled to be back together once again, body language expert Inbaal Honigman believes Louis may not be as pleased as he appears.
She said: “As Big Brother asks Louis whether it's nice to be reunited with Sharon, he says 'absolutely' but his head lightly shakes from side to side. Louis is worried.
“He demonstrates how pleased he is to see her by hugging his former colleague and being affectionate with her, but his hesitation suggests that he might be frightened of the fiery redhead.”
The music manager squeezes Sharon like she's a life buoy, showing his relief at seeing her, he's thankful for having a friendly face there, but at the same time his nervous facial expression tells that he's bracing himself for a potential Sharonstorm.”
Before the 71-year-old entered the house, he accidentally let slip he knew Sharon was entering the house. However, Inbaal believes the Irish star is keen for the public to like him.
She continued: “When Louis chats to AJ and Will on his way in, he is noticeably nervous.
“He laces his hands in front of his body, in a protective gesture, covering himself. This 'closed' gesture tells us that he's feeling too exposed.
“In addition, his fingers are stiff, and his thumbs are twiddling, which is another indication that the Irishman is feeling tense.
"While listening to the presenting pair, “Louis leans forward towards them, his eyebrows raised, in a move that says 'please like me'.”

Although Louis and Sharon were the first two in the house, they were taken to a secret room where they were tasked with judging their fellow celebrity housemates.
Once the rest of the line-up had arrived, Sharon had to pick three people to put at risk of being the first celebrity to face the public vote with the help of Louis.
After some deliberation, they chose Gary Goldsmith, David Potts and Zeze Millz.
However, as Sharon and Louis are set to enter the house with the rest of the other stars on Tuesday night, they have some questions to answer.
Once the introductions are over, former This Morning star Fern Britton asks: “How could you have judged three of them out, straight away? Terrible!”
Zeze wasted no time in wanting answers as she asked Louis what the criteria was in making their choice.
Although he remained tight-lipped as he said: “I’m not telling you, it was who we liked and didn’t like!”
Zeze replied: “You didn’t like me on first impressions?”
Have Louis and Sharon already landed themselves in hot water with their fellow housemates?
Celebrity Big Brother continues weeknights on ITV from 9pm.
