When Ibiza Weekender's David, 30, strutted in without his trousers on, it didn't go down well with the pair.
Sharon gasped: "His fruit and veg are hanging down at the front, and I find that a little bit disturbing."
Louis sniped: "Who is he? That's a bit much!"
But appearing on spin-off show Celebrity Big Brother Late and Live at the end of the series opener, David's Ibiza Weekender co-star Ellie Young hit back.

She told hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best: "He looks amazing. I don't care what Sharon and Louis say.
"They haven't got the X Factor, he has the X Factor."
David is at risk of being dumped from the house after Louis and Sharon were told to choose three celebrities to put in 'the danger zone'.
He ended up in the "ring of fire" alongside YouTube star Zeze Millz and Kate Middleton's uncle Gary Goldsmith.

Explaining why she picked the three, Sharon said: "I think that David's come to show off.
"I think he's trying too hard to be outrageous.

"Gary, I think, is very nervous and I don't think that he is comfortable yet, and Zeze, I didn't get a sense of who she is yet."
Viewers took to social media to share their predictions, with many landing on David as the first to leave the series.
"That's David out for deffo then…" one said.
A second reacted: "Calling it now David & Lauren will be the first 2 out."
Celebrity Big Brother line-up
So who are the 13 stars expected to appear in the Celebrity Big Brother house? The Sun's Jamie Downham takes a look...
Sharon Osbourne - TV legend - who is thought to be on a megabucks deal - said she was doing the show for ";a good time not a long time"
Louis Walsh - Irish boyband manager who has never knowingly backed down from a fight. Sure to be a huge presence in the house.
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu - We know from Love Island, the Ek-ster is not above throwing about some dramatics to claw her way to the final.
Levi Roots - Reggae Reggae Sauce sauce packs a bit of a kick, but its inventor seems quite mild-mannered. Will that change under pressure?
Fern Britton - The former This Morning star called out Phillip Schofield - don't think she won't do the same to anyone who tangles with her.
Colson Smith - You'll probably know him best as Corrie's Craig Tinker - but prepare to find out he's not much like his character.
David Potts - Ibiza Weekender's breakout star is sure to bring a bit of the party isle to the house... but will people appreciate it?
Gary Goldsmith - Kate Middleton's uncle is a big signing for ITV, but very much an unknown quantity among viewers.
Marisha Wallace - Top Broadway star may fill the brief of 'American who doesn't know what they've let themselves in for'.
Nikita Kuzmin - The Strictly pro is coming onto the show fresh off the show's tour. Poor lad probably just wants a rest.
Zeze Mills - the social media star has a "no holds barred interview style" - which is just what we need in there.
Bradley Riches - The actor played sweet James McEwan in Netflix hit Heartstopper. We'll soon find out what he's really like.
Lauren Simon - She's a Real Housewives of Cheshire star and you don't get on that show by being shy and retiring.
