Ronan Keating ‘brands ex-manager Louis Walsh a “jealous bullsh***er” in a foul-mouthed rant and reveals the REAL reason for their fallout



Ronan Keating has slammed his former manager and current Celebrity Big Brother housemate Louis Walsh, branding him a ‘jealous bulls****er’ in a foul-mouthed rant. 

The former Boyzone frontman, 47, can be heard in audio obtained by The Sun after the X Factor judge, 71, described him as a ‘p***k’ in front of millions of viewers on the ITV reality show. 

Ronan also lifted the lid on why he sacked the music manger when his solo career rocketed after leaving the Irish boyband.

In the recording, from the height of their feud in 2006, Ronan can be heard fuming to biographer Rob McGibbon how Louis had ‘really hurt’ him.

Saying:  ‘I’ve no respect for Louis because he has none for me. He was very jealous of me.

‘I had to sack him because he wouldn’t manage me. He’s a very selfish character. It’s bullsh** man. He’s a bullsh***er.’

MailOnline have contacted Ronan’s representatives for comment.

Last week the Celebrity Big Brother housemates were treated to some music during the evening and Ronan’s solo single Life Is A Rollercoaster started playing.

‘Great song,’ Louis said before leaning over to Sharon Osbourne and adding: ‘He was such a p***k.’

He then said: ‘Everybody thinks he’s a lovely guy, do you know what I mean?’

As the song continued to play, Louis criticised Ronan’s career, saying: ‘He hasn’t had a hit record since I left. He sacked me.’

Louis has taken numerous swipes at Ronan over the years, including previously calling him ‘talentless and spoiled’.

In an interview with Q Magazine in 2012, he said: ‘His head got turned by having nice hotels and chauffeur-driven cars, and he thought he could write songs.

‘If you’re Ronan Keating, who was working in a shoe shop when I discovered him, but end [up] thinking you’re George Michael, then you need to be stopped.’

Ronan has fired back on occasion and previously said on Magic FM that he didn’t want to work with someone who didn’t respect him.

He said: ‘[Louis] was very important to me as a mentor and I’m grateful for the opportunities he gave me, because I wouldn’t be here without them. 

‘But there’s only so much you can give back and be so grateful, and for that not to be appreciated or respected.’ 

Louis also slammed his former act Jedward and branded them ‘vile’ in a conversation on the show, prompting the singers to hit back with a fiery exchange

Louis previously said that twins Jedward were ‘vile’ in a conversation on the show, prompting the singers to hit back with a fiery exchange

The Irish music mogul managed the pair between 2009 and 2013, but things turned sour when, in 2016, described the duo as ‘the most embarrassing thing to happen to him’

He previously managed the duo after they appeared on X Factor in 2008 and claimed that he had ‘made £5million’ from the double act during his time as their manager between 2009 and 2013.

In a conversation with housemate Colson about Jedward, Louis said: ‘And they were vile. But they were novelty. It was great for the show. It was all about the show.’

The brothers hit back on Twitter, calling him a ‘cold-hearted b****d who didn’t even send us flowers when our mom died’ – the twins lost their mum Susanna to cancer in 2019.
