Celebrity Big Brother fans spotted Louis Walsh appearing to 'slap' Oti Mabuse's bum during an appearance on Late & Live after the final. The 71-year-old former X Factor judge was seen placing his hands on the former
Strictly Come Dancing pro dancer's backside as she twerked with the audience shouting for Louis to do the same. The
Irish boyband manager, who brought Westlife to fame, has previous when it comes to 'bum slapping' on TV as he was scolded by Mel B in 2014 when he did similar to her on The Xtra Factor. Oti was a guest panellist on Late & Live and was presenting a jokey award to Louis in a mock ceremony following the end of the Celebrity Big Brother final. Louis was awarded Best Dancer for his exuberant, though comical, dancing during his time in the CBB house, of which him twerking was a highlight that brought hysterics to his fellow housemates. Ahead of announcing Louis as the winner, Oti told his fellow housemates and studio audience: "Movement is the most beautiful form of expression and this individual has truly bared their soul through the medium of dance." Louis said in accepting the award: "Listen, I'm not really much of a dancer but I went for the fun and we had a great twerk!"

The professional dancer then showed off her twerking and as she finished, Louis reached his hand behind him so that he could pat Oti on the bum. The moment was reminiscent of the Mel B moment, in which she brought the show to a halt and admonished Louis for touching her, asking: "Why are you grabbing my butt?" A decade after that incident, viewers were quick to spot that Louis was reaching out again, with one writing on Reddit: "Louis smacking Oti’s bum oh god here we go again…" Another commented: ""NOT Louis tapping Oti on the bum on live tv." A third simply exclaimed in the comments: "OMG Louis!".

Speaking to hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best , Louis explained that he considered jumping over the wall to get away. He explained: “There were some nights, there were a few nights where I was in a really bad place. Honestly, honestly, honestly. One or two times, I wanted to leave. I wanted to climb over the wall. Luckily I stayed. But there were a few times.” The Irish
music manager added: “I had anxiety on one or two nights. I was on my own. I was awake. Everyone else was sleeping. There were a few farting. I was on my own.” He went on to add that he was pleased that he stayed and saw out is time in the CBB house. Follow Mirror Celebs on TikTok , Snapchat ,
