“I had to fire him because he didn’t want to manage me. He is a very selfish character. This is bullshit, man. He’s an asshole.’

MailOnline has contacted Ronan’s representatives for comment.

Last week, Celebrity Big Brother housemates were treated to music during the evening and Ronan’s solo single Life Is A Rollercoaster began playing.

“Great song,” Louis said before leaning toward Sharon Osbourne and adding, “He was such a dick.”

He then said: “Everyone thinks he’s a lovely guy, you know what I mean?”

As the song continued to play, Louis criticized Ronan’s career, saying: “He hasn’t had a hit record since I left.” He fired me.

Louis has taken many jabs at Ronan over the years, including calling him “talentless and spoiled.”

In an interview with Q Magazine in 2012 he said: “His beautiful hotels and chauffeur-driven cars made his head spin, and he thought he could write songs.

Last week, Celebrity Big Brother housemates were treated to music during the evening and Ronan’s solo single Life Is A Rollercoaster began playing – before Louis’ scathing attack.

Louis has taken numerous jabs at Ronan over the years, including calling him “talentless and spoiled” (pictured together in 2009).

“If you are Ronan Keating, who was working in a shoe store when I found out, but you end up thinking you are George Michael, then you need to be arrested.”

Ronan has hit back on occasion and previously said on Magic FM that he didn’t want to work with someone who didn’t respect him.

He said: “(Louis) was very important to me as a mentor and I am grateful for the opportunities he gave me, because I wouldn’t be here without them.

“But there are only so many things you can give back and be so grateful for, and for that, it shouldn’t be appreciated or respected.”

Louis also criticized his former actor Jedward and tagged them “despicable” in a conversation on the show, prompting the singers to retaliated with a fiery exchange.

Louis previously said the Jedward twins were “despicable” during a conversation on the show, prompting the singers to hit back with a fiery exchange.

The Irish music mogul managed the duo between 2009 and 2013, but things turned sour when in 2016 he described the duo as “the most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to him”.

He previously managed the duo following their appearance on X Factor in 2008 and claimed to have “earned £5million” from the double act during his time as manager between 2009 and 2013.

During a conversation with his roommate Colson about Jedward, Louis said: “And they were vile. But it was something new. It was great for the show. It was all about spectacle.

The brothers hit back on Twitter, calling him a “cold-hearted bastard who didn’t even send us flowers when our mother died” – the twins lost their mother Susanna to cancer in 2019.
