Celebrity Big Brother SPOILER: Lauren Simon reveals Simon Cowell promised to make her a famous singer in her 20s, while Louis Walsh says music mogul would have liked her

Lauren Simon reveals Simon Cowell promised to make her a famous singer in her 20s on Wednesday night’s upcoming episode of Celebrity Big Brother.

The Real Housewives of Cheshire star, 51, shares the story with Simon’s former X Factor colleague Louis Walsh, 71, as they get to know each other.

She says to Louis in the bedroom, “I’ll tell you a great story.” I was 23, living in London and dating this playboy.

‘I was sitting at the VIP table drinking champagne and Simon [Cowell] was there and he was working for RCA Records at the time.

‘He came by to give me his card. I wore a gold dress and danced on the table. He wanted to make me famous as a singer.’

Louis then asks cheekily, “He liked you?”

To which Lauren jokes, “Probably!”

Lauren then adds, “I’m in Barbados and got married there. I walk on the beach with my ex-husband and so does he [Simon] at Sandy Lane with Sinitta.

“He looks at me and says, ‘Lauren Stone, how’s the devil?’ Are you still dancing on those tables?’

Elsewhere in the episode, Gary Goldsmith gets a chance to argue for his place in the house while house tenant Sharon Osbourne makes a judgment about who to evict.

The 58-year-old millionaire businessman was one of three housemates in the ‘danger zone’ and was at risk of being singled out by Sharon as one of the stars about to be eliminated.

Gary, David Potts and Zeze Millz all get a chance to explain why they have to stay in the house, as they all beg her to keep them inside.

Kate Middleton’s uncle admits he wants the chance to change the public’s perception of him after always being known as the ‘black sheep’ of the family.

Sharon says, “So we’re going to have a nice chat, Gary. Tell me, why did you accept the offer to enter the house?’

Gary says: ‘It bothers me what the public perception of me is. The black sheep of the family. I’m a normal guy. Coincidentally, my niece married Will.”

Sharon then speaks to David and tells him, ‘When I first met you and I saw you with no pants on, I was quite shocked.

“And when we started talking, I realized it was your thing. Not that I’m a prude, because I’m not. How did you feel when you found out you were in the ring of fire?’

David admits he was ‘not shocked’ to be in the bottom three and claims it is something that has happened a lot in his life.

He says, “I wasn’t shocked at all because I’ve had this happen quite often in my life. At first impressions, people are kind of like, ‘woo, he’s just craving attention,’ when that’s just not the case.”

Finally, Zeze goes to Sharon’s den to chat with her and Sharon says, “Zeze, I want to get to know you better.”

Zeze says: ‘I get a lot of comments online because I say how I feel.’

Sharon says, “What do you hope will come out of this show?”

Zeze adds, “I think it’s more about people seeing a different side of me. People think I’m a stubborn person.’

Sharon ultimately chooses Gary as her choice for elimination. He will be joined later this week by others nominated by the House.

Elsewhere in the episode, Marisha Wallace and Ekin-Su Culculoglu discuss the breakdown of her relationship with Davide Sanclimenti.

Ekin-Su thinks: ‘They always tell me that the man should love the woman more. Is that true?’

The Love Island winner claims it was the ‘mistake she made’, seemingly referring to her recent divorce from Davide, which collapsed earlier this year.

Marisha questions her: “You liked him more?” and Ekin-Su says, “I think so.”

Marisha says, “Why did you end your relationship?”

Ekin-Su says cryptically, “Let’s just say he hurt me.”

The reality personality posted a statement on her Instagram page in January revealing that she was the one who had spent time on their relationship.

Celebrity Big Brother continues on Wednesday nights at 9pm on ITV.
