LOUIS Walsh was accused of using a phone in the Celebrity Big Brother house after a Loose Women star spotted a clue.
Mobile phones have always been banned inside the house to prevent housemates from accessing or being aware of what's going on outside.
On Monday night, Big Brother gave Fern Britton the opportunity to evict a housemate.
She chose Louis. However, Big Brother ended up giving him nomination immunity, securing him a spot in the final.
The housemates then discussed the surprising turn of events. However, as they spoke, viewers saw Louis in the living room holding what looked like a phone to his ear.
Although phones are banned on the show, Many fans were convinced that Louis has a secret one.
