Louis Walsh's on-screen reunion with fellow X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne may be the most highly anticipated moment of the comeback of Celebrity Big Brother, well aside from the appearance of Princess Kate's uncle, that is.
But now that Louis has entered the Celebrity Big Brother house, the music maven has fans wondering what his real home is like. Surely the former manager of Westlife's own home couldn't be as garish as ITV's most iconic house?

But there was a certain moment in 2005 when the currently fiercely private star allowed thousands of people into his swanky London home – when he hosted the X Factor judges' houses round from his personal pad.

The former Boyzone manager posed for a dimly lit photo in his minimalist kitchen that featured shiny white cabinetry with silver hardware and grey granite worktops for a pared-back feel. The most unusual feature is Louis' unexpected collection of ornamental figures on horseback.

Much like his kitchen, Louis' living room is minimalist to the extreme with little furniture, just a series of white armchairs to offset the warm wood flooring. As you would expect from a 2000s musical manager, the room featured a stack of CDs on show.

Another angle of Louis' living room showed his coffee table stacked high with magazines, how very 2000s, and a modest TV set.

Louis posed for an up close and personal photograph in his kitchen which was pristine with little utensils on show but instead just a vase of pink lilies.
