Louis Walsh underwent chemotherapy while appearing in Boyzone documentary

Louis Walsh agreed to appear on the Boyzone documentary while undergoing chemotherapy.

The boyband was founded by the X Factor judge in 1993, but he has been fighting with them for more than ten years. He consented to the new documentary, but he was also receiving treatment at the time.

Last year, Louis revealed he was was diagnosed with waldenstrom macroglobulinaemia. The actor, who appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, claimed that his condition was “reality check” and that he was recovering from a rare cancer.

On Celebrity Big Brother, he admitted it during a conversation with his roommates Levi Roots and Ekin-Su. Asked about his experiences in lockdown, he explained: “I was sick, and I think nobody knew I was sick. I had cancer – a mild version, a rare one, in my blood.

” I didn’t even know I had it until I went to the hospital. They located it after they had checked me. “Louis said it affected him mentally. Pointing to his head, he added:” It’s just up here, even when I go past a hospital I almost get sick. It’s all gone, I’m fine. Nobody wants that word, they just want it because they were sick and because of it.

“I have it blocked out, a reality check. You see so many people sick and it’s terrible. Pop music and everything else was the focus of my life. Nobody or anything similar happened to me or I did not think of it. And that was like, wow, reality check – you’re in the real world”.

A source who spoke to him about his “really ill at the time but made the effort to appear on the program” after his appearance in the Boyzone documentary. They added to MailOnline: “He was having chemo for his blood cancer, so wasn’t looking his best and it really took it out of him.

He complains that he is tired, but Louis makes a commitment to him when he says, “You will see that in the documentary.”
