CORONATION Street legend Jack P Shepherd has branded Celebrity Big Brother a fix after Louis Walsh was once again saved as part of a huge twist.
Jack – who is supporting his best mate and co star Colson Smith – believes producers concocted a plan to make sure he didn’t go home during last night’s episode.
Speaking on he does with Colson and Ben Price, Jack said: “They’ve gone ‘How can we keep Louis Walsh in? We can't let him go on Tuesday because if he's up there's a strong possibility the public will vote him out’”.
“They went ‘we’ll do a game and we’ll tidy it up so you can eliminate someone straight away and because he's Irish and because it's St Patrick's Day we'll create a load of bull***t and say ‘what do you know Louis, you're immune’. It's a complete fix.”
He added: “In fairness to them they wanted to get their money from him and he’s entertainment value.”
Last night saw Fern Britton find a pot of gold and then had to pick someone that she wanted to eliminate from the competition by placing a snake on their bed.

Fern picked Louis Walsh - but had no idea that there was a twist... and it actually meant that he was given a pass to the final.
In a cruel blow, Fern then found herself up for eviction alongside Zeze Millz, Marisha Wallace and Nikita Kuzmin.
Jack is not the only one who believes that it was a fix to keep Louis in – angry viewers have been discussing it too.
One person raged: “This whole twist is so unbelievable and a blatant ploy by ITV to keep him in. DO NOT bring this mess over to civilian."

A second said: "The twist feels a little convenient, does it not?"
While a third added: "I wouldn’t be annoyed so much if it wasn’t done this way but like it was so clearly a fix to get him to the final."
In tonight’s episode Fern will come clean to Louis and tell him she placed the snake on his bed – after he becomes hell bent on working it out.
Celebrity Big Brother declined to comment.
