Bolton-born David, who is releasing a podcast off the back of his CBB triumph, flashed his legs in black hotpants and a matching blazer.
ITV daytime TV show hosts Ed Balls, 57, and Kate Garraway, 56, quizzed the reality TV star on his relationship with Dubliner Louis.
It came after the former Westlife manager nominated David for eviction first-up, suggesting he gave the “worst first impression.”
Giving his take on their villa relationship, David said: “Louis was a panto villain.
“It was all very tongue in cheek, wink wink, nudge nudge.
“He [Louis] would say stuff to you then give you a wink. he was like a producer and a cast member, because then he would say ‘you were good in that’.
“I thought he was lovely though.”
He was then probed about exchanging digits after discussing doing show on the ITV re-boot.
David confessed they hadn’t yet done this, before he joked: “I don’t want Louis to mither me.
“I thought I would give it a few weeks.”
Celebrity Big Brother winner David Potts ‘hits back’ at Louis Walsh after he sparks feud with ‘Z list’ swipe
Hitting back
David’s pals were on hand to defend him during his time in the CBB compound after Louis’ remarks.
Louis sniped about David in his opening comments: “Who is he? That’s a bit much!”
David then ended up in the “ring of fire” danger zone alongside YouTube star Zeze Millz and Kate Middleton’s uncle Gary Goldsmith, with the latter ultimately being the first to be booted off.
Fans then believed Louis exposed his feud with David later in the series.
They insisted the ex Boyzone manager “physically recoiled” from David when they collided outside the bedroom.
Yet the bubbly TV star has also hit back at the music mogul after he branded his CBB co-stars as “Z list.”
Who has won Celebrity Big Brother?
THE first Celebrity Big Brother aired in March 2001 on Channel 4.
Roll on 23 years and a switch to Channel 5 in 2011, CBB is now into its 23rd season and is being hosted for the first time by ITV.
Here’s who has won the coveted title so far:
Season 1 (2001): Comedian Jack Dee beat actress Claire Sweeney despite walking out of the house and evading security for about an hour. The series was also more memorable for Vanessa Feltz telling Big Brother to “f*** off” after chalking “incarcerated”, “ambushed” and “restricted” on the table.
Season 2 (2002): Take That favourite Mark Owen triumphed over TV host Les Dennis. The latter won over the sympathy of the audience after his marriage breakdown to wife Amanda Holden.
Season 3 (2005): Maraca shaking Bez walked out the winner ahead of Blazin’ Squad’s Kenzie. The Happy Mondays star scooped the £50,000 and went on 10-hour bender, blowing the cash.
Season 4 (2006): This was the season when Big Brother really mixed things up – by sending in a non-celebrity from fictional band Kandy Floss. However, Chantelle Houghton won over viewers and housemates alike and was crowned the winner. During her time in the house she found love with Ordinary Boys singer Preston. There was also added drama when George Galloway pretended to be Rula Lenska’s pet cat.
Season 5 (2007): Actress Shilpa Shetty won after being caught up in a racism bullying row with former BB contestant Jade Goody, model Danielle Lloyd, and S Club’s Jo O’Meara.
Season 6 (2009): Ulrika Jonsson beat Terry Christian, but controversy came in the form of rapper Coolio who was slammed by viewers as misogynistic, however he finished in third spot.
Season 7 (2010): Alex Reid beat Dane Bowers and Vinnie Jones with a huge 65% of the vote. Alex married Katie Price one month later.
Season 8 (2011): In the first series to air on Channel 5, Big Fat Gypsy Wedding star Paddy Doherty was the unexpected winner, beating singer Kerry Katona.
Season 9 (2012): Loose Women star Denise Welch triumphed over X Factor contestant Frankie Cocozza, after stripping off while drunk and jumping into the hot tub topless.

Season 13 (2014): Jim Davidson won after a blazing row with Linda Nolan. N-dubz Dappy took second spot.
Season 14 (2014): Gary Busey – who chose to roam around the CBB house naked – beat boxer Audley Harrison.
Season 15 (2015): Katie Price won the battle of the Katies as she saw off controversial Katie Hopkins in the final. The biggest talking point was American blogger’s Perez Hilton’s raging row with Calum Best, but the series also saw two early ejections of Jeremy Jackson and Ken Morley.
Season 16 (2015): Apprentice star James Hill beat model Austin Armacost. Tila Tequila was evicted on just the second day after she was found to have posted support for Adolf Hitler on social media.

Season 18 (2016): Stephen Bear won the show despite a huge row with radio star James Whale. Ricky Norwood placed second but this season saw Christopher Biggins ejected from the house after making an anti-Semitic joke.
Season 19 (2017): Coleen Nolan entered the CBB house for a second time – and this time came out the winner beating Jedward. During her second stint she had a massive showdown with horse star John McCririck.
Season 20 (2017): It was the battle of the reality show singers in the final, with Popstars: The Rivals winner and Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding beating The X Factor’s Amelia Lily.
Season 21 (2018): Courtney Act, otherwise known as Shane Jenek, won with politician Ann Widdecombe runner-up.
Season 22 (2018): Winning Dancing On Ice in 2024, was not Ryan Thomas‘s first reality show title. He won the CBB title in 2018, after a shocking “run-in” with Emmerdale actress Roxanne Pallet, who falsely accused him of punching her. Actress Kirstie Alley came second.
Louis made the catty dig while chatting to Rylan Clark about his time on the show.
In response to the catty comment, David took to social media to share a clip of him singing.
He belted out a tune from the top of his lungs and sang his famous catchphrase “slay the day away”.
David then captioned it: “That’s for you Louis,” with a love heart.
