Is James Jordan gay, bisexual or straight?
It’s a question that’s been doing the rounds, but James Jordan is married to Ola Grabowska so no, James isn’t gay, as he’s never spoken about being bisexual. The pair married in 2003 after meeting in 1999. They have yet to have any children from the marriage. They met during a dance competition in Blackpool. James apparently already had a girlfriend at the time. After a few years, James broke it off with his then girlfriend and Ola and he became an item. They lived in Hong Kong for a number of years teaching dance.
During his time in Celebrity Big Brother 2014, he wasn’t impressed when actor Gary Busey made remarks about being butt fked. James tried to explain to Gary that he was not gay but had lots of gay friends and was comfortable enough in his sexuality to ‘camp it up’. Gary then asked James if he was afraid ‘to get butt-fed’ and James replied, “I’ve never hit a seventy-year-old before.” ooo errr.

Following the ‘Weekend from Hell,’ on Sunday, Jasmine entered ‘Hell’ never to return. On Sunday, in the final part of the task, Housemates chose to evict Jasmine over James C and Speidi in a shock eviction. Jasmine immediately left the house in shocking style through a back door in the garden.

Tonight, Jasmine joined CBB host Emma for a quick chat at the start of the live show. On her unceremonious exit Jasmine said: “I wasn’t expecting that, it was such a brutal weekend.”
Jasmine on being voted out by her friends: “So disappointed, I thought they would have had my back, I’d said to a few people that this isn’t for me, I’m not used to this kind of lifestyle, this is a lot of toxicity, heavy drama.”
Emma asked how different this was from Jasmine’s previous time in the Celebrity Big Brother house: “It was a lot of tasks, everything that came my way was negative and then I just broke.”
On her problems with fellow Housemate Stacy: “I still have love in my heart for this poor girl but… she would come at me at the wrong place, wrong time, she’s extremely confrontational, nosy and butts into conversations.”
On an alleged past relationship with Calum: “We had a lot of experiences together… I was definitely hurt that he didn’t have my back.”
After the initial shock of the way she was evicted last Sunday, Jasmine said she was “very glad” to be out.
On Monday, Housemates were made to turn on each other for the first face-to-face nominations of the series. James C, James J and Jedward all received the most nominations and therefore face the public vote.
Emma announced that the housemate with the fewest votes and therefore forth to be evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house is James J.
James J said his goodbyes and left ‘Hell’ to a mixed reaction from the crowd.
On how it feels to be out, “Gutted, but at same time I get to see my wife, its win win.”
Jedward have got a massive following, James is just a true gentleman, he’s adorable.”

On his friendship with Jamie and Calum: “I definitely knew Calum was going to nominate me and knew Jamie might have, Jedward were stirring, they’re not as innocent as they make out.”
James J on Calum: “When we saw him snap when we wanted to put his mum up, I liked that and I told him I wanted to see more. I forgot he’s from America so doesn’t fully get the humour.”
On the difference between this, and his first time in the CBB house: “I was exactly the same 100 percent, I was ill with flu, so I apologised for a few things, I had a week moment (laughs).”
On an expected clash with Spencer and subsequent friendship: “How can you argue with someone you like.”
On his relationship with new Housemate Kim following several arguments: “She loves me now, she said ‘I think you’re wonderful’… she’s gone in there to wind up the house, no-one can be that stupid.”
So Jedward thinks that both James Jordan and Austin Armacost are nobodies. During a conversation with Heidi and Spencer (Speidi), the Irish duo said that the previous night, in which Austin lashed out at both James J and Stacy, was “mental” and called the pair the “biggest attention seekers”.
Jedward entered the house just a few days ago but were allowed to nominate. They chose Austin and Jasmine Waltz as their choice for nomination this week.
“Throughout the day you’re a boring c**t, then you have a drink and you’re and even bigger c**t!”
Stacy.
It all started after Austin was telling Stacy that he didn’t like her. James stepped in to try and calm the situation, but it ended up stoking the rage with Austin threatening, “I will go in on you.”
James then tells the hunky reality star, “All you seem to do is shout at everyone in the f**king house then wonder and cry about why four people nominated you, I’m surprised it wasn’t more.”
Has Austin met his match?
Later in the show, Austin admits to Big Brother that he was ready to go home telling producers that he misses his boyfriend. He reveals that every morning he wakes up in the house he wonders what he’s doing in the house.
Will Austin leave?

Picture the scene, Leslie Jordan dons some white gloves to search ‘White Dee’s’ suitcase when…
James Jordan then mimes taking his trousers down, and says, ‘And assume the position.’ Hilariously campery, well done, we’re impressed. However,
Gary Busey walks into this scene and says to James, ‘You are gay aren’t you?’
James tries to explain to Gary that he is not gay but has lots of gay friends and is comfortable enough in his sexuality to camp it up. Gary then asks James if he is not afraid ‘to get butt-f**ed’ and James replies, ‘I’ve never hit a seventy-year-old before.’
Gary then tells the group that James has a little Vaseline tube in every part of his luggage. James then loses his sense of fun about the situation and tells Gary to listen to him, not interrupt him and look at him when he’s talking.
James finally tells Gary that he ‘should be careful what you say, you might be seventy years old but be careful what you say.’
