Sinitta has revealed how she met Louis Walsh as the Celebrity Big Brother star and Sharon Osbourne spill X-Factor secrets on the newly revived reality show.
Now, the 60-year-old 'Toy Boy' singer had an on-again-off-again relationship with fellow X Factor judge Simon Cowell, 64, for about two decades.
In the latest CBB episode, Sharon and Louis had a chat in the bedroom and the latter opened up on his relationship to Sinitta.

During the natter, Sharon suggested Simon 'doesn't know how to keep friends' and brought up the name 'Sinitta'.
"I like her," Louis then replied. "She's mad but she's very loyal to him."
"Oh dedicated her life to him," Sharon aded before Louis cut in: "I like her, if you know what I mean.
"There's something. Harmless."
During the chat, Louis also failed to recall how he met Sinitta - which has since prompted her to take to social media to share her response to the pair's chat.
Taking to X yesterday (10 March), the hit-maker revealed to her 127.9k followers: "I introduced Louis Walsh to Simon Cowell."
She continued: "Back in the day, LouLou was my promoter and driver taking me all over Ireland to radio stations and clubs to promote my records…
"He was great fun and took great care of me, how has he forgotten our early days?!!!"
One fan then commented: "Hun, he's been nothing but complimentary about you! He was singing your praises!" to which Sinitta agreed.
"He has been really nice right?" she penned. "We had some great times , early days, even BEFORE X Factor, Louis has always been the most fun and hilariously funny.
"I have the best memories!"
In other Louis news, I'm sure many ITV viewers are wondering exactly what he's raking in for his appearance on the beloved programme.
Well, he will reportedly be paid a colossal £500,000 for his stint on the show - the exact same figure as pal Sharon.

A source told The Sun: "Louis knew he could name his price because ITV bosses have been desperate to get him to do the show for months.
"He's a wealthy man and was always well paid on the X Factor, so he always said he wanted a salary for the show that reflects his worth."
While Louis and Sharon will reportedly be paid the same amount - the latter's fee is as a 'celebrity lodger' after spending just five days in the infamous Big Brother house rather than an official housemate.
Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
