Louis Walsh has made a huge admission in the new documentary about Boyzone that has had fans labelling him ‘horrific’.
Walsh created and managed the boy band, which was most successful with the line-up of Keith Duffy, Stephen Gately, Mikey Graham, Ronan Keating, and Shane Lynch.
A new documentary series by Sky titled Boyzone: No Matter What has looked into the formation of Boyzone and many of the troubles its members faced.

In particular, one clip has gone viral where the stars talk about the regularity with which they would read untrue newspaper headlines about themselves.
Ronan Keating described how his family would often call up and ask about headlines they’d read, with him having to reassure them it wasn’t based on facts.
Louis Walsh follows up by saying: “Oh, I mean sometimes the boys would read stories in the papers about themselves that weren’t true and would say ‘oh who told them that’”, before proudly saying, “No, I did.”
He went on to say: “I told them, because I am promoting you. I bigged them up sometimes, but that’s fine.”
Keating goes on to add that he thinks Walsh believed ‘any story was a good story’, before adding that at one time a plane crash involving the band was fabricated for the papers.
Walsh says: “I had them in a plane crash once in Australia”, giggling whilst saying, “I forgot to tell their families I made it up, but there was no plane crash.”
When asked if he ever felt guilty, Walsh replying by saying: “I never felt guilty no way, I was promoting them, I was doing my job, I would do it all again yeah, absolutely, I’d do even more now.”
The clip was posted to Twitter with the caption: “From the new Boyzone documentary… nah, I’m sorry but there are no two ways you can spin this: Louis Walsh is HORRIFIC. The last 30 seconds of this clip… crikey.”

Another viewer responded saying we ‘knew this’, with the original poster adding: “Oh definitely, but it is chilling seeing how utterly jovial and completely guiltless about every single aspect of it.”
The documentary also details how Stephen Gately, who died in 2009, was outed as gay by The Sun and other British tabloids.
Viewers accused Walsh of ‘smirking’ whilst retelling this, with one adding: “God, Louis Walsh does not come out well of that Boyzone documentary. And the way Stephen Gately was treated by the tabloid press in life and in death. Unforgivable.”
Walsh smiled as he said ‘he got the front page’ about Gately being outed.
Another viewer said: “Poor poor Stephen Gately. F*ck Louis Walsh, f*ck Rav Singh and F*ck The Sun.”
