As usual Louis didn't hold back when discussing his former housemates.

He told Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley: "They were all performing.

"I was watching them all perform for the cameras. They were all cleaning and cooking food... I didn't want to do that."

The former X Factor judge also hit back at housemates who branded him lazy.

He said: "I don't cook much, I wasn't going to clean. I was going to sit back... I was watching them all performing. It was incredible, they all wanted to win."

It's not the first time Louis has slammed his former co-stars since leaving the house.

During an exclusive chat with The Sun he ripped into Fern Britton, branding the former daytime TV presenter "wallpaper".

He said: “Nikita [Kuzmin] and Fern [Britton] wanted it the most — they played to the cameras.

“The person that I would least like to hang out with is Gary [Goldsmith]. He wouldn’t listen, he kept telling the same old joke all the time.

"There was nothing to the man; he shouldn’t have been there — he should have known not to be there. It is not his world.

“Fern is OK. I mean she desperately wanted to win. She was wallpaper — she doesn’t give you anything.

“Nikita is very ambitious but I think he will become a star, a TV presenter — he can do it all. I love Levi he is a totally genuine man, very placid, outgoing, and really got on with Colson [Smith]. We’ve swapped numbers.”
