Louis Walsh reveals in Friday's Celebrity Big Brother that he was diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer while a close friend opens up to the Mirror on the star's health

The former X Factor judge was diagnosed with waldenstrom macroglobulinaemia. Speaking on Celebrity Big Brother, the 71-year-old star said he was recovering from a rare cancer, adding that it had been a “reality check”.

“I have it blocked out, a reality check. You see so many people sick and it’s terrible. In my world it was all about pop music and all that. I didn’t think of anybody getting sick or anything like that. And that was like, wow, reality check – you’re in the real world.” They added: “It’s little wonder he has decided to immerse himself in the Celebrity Big Brother house. It’s almost as a reaction to what has happened. It was quite the ordeal, not least as the cancer is so rare that it took a while to get diagnosed.”
