Louis Walsh has revealed how he really feels about Ronan Keating.
The music mogul is the latest guest to appear on Nicky Byrne's podcast, with a teaser clip revealing some interesting topics of conversation.
In a teaser clip posted by Nicky Byrne to his Instagram page, Nicky asks Louis about his comments on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year, when he branded Ronan Keating a “p***k”.
“You very recently called him a prick… and he’s not a pr**k,” Nicky said as he confronted Louis.
To which Louis replied: “No, I just said it. It wasn’t meant out of badness.”

Louis then went on to speak about his time on the show, and the controversial things he said, saying he was “there for a reason” and that producers wanted him to “say things I shouldn’t say.”
Nicky went on to ask Louis if he still had a “soft spot” in his heart for Ronan Keating.
“I think he’s a great hustler, as an artist or as a person?” the 72-year-old replied.
“As an artist, he’s good, very ambitious, and there’s nothing he won’t do, radio, TV, or acting.”
“He will do it, and I love that about him, but he should just be him; he should just sing a certain type of song,” he added.
In the podcast, Nicky went on to challenge Louis and said he believed Louis was still hurt by Ronan Keating.
“I hope you don’t mind me saying this, I think you’re still hurt, and I think he is still hurt,” the Westlife singer said.
To which Louis quickly replied: “No, over it, honestly, life’s too short; I moved on a long time ago.”
Nicky then went on to ask Louis whether he would answer the phone if Ronan called him, but Louis firmly said he wouldn’t because “he’s too proud.”
However, Louis said that if Ronan rang, he would answer: “I’ve nothing against him, but he’d have to call me.”
