Sharing their thoughts on X, one person wrote: ‘Louis is a walking talking wikipedia wtf.’
Another questioned: ‘What in the Devil wears Prada is going on? How does Louis know everyone?
‘So Louis let slip he knew Sharon was gonna be in there, he’s totes been doing his homework on the other leaked names hasn’t he? I love him briefing Mrs O on each person,’ a third person added.
Someone else joked: ‘Louis is literally explaining every celebrity to Sharon like Andrea and Emily to Miranda in The Devil Wears Prada.’
‘Cracking up at Louis knowing all about the housemates,’ another shared.
