YouTuber and internet celebrity Trisha Paytas has left Celebrity Big Brother after just 11 days
A spokesperson for the show said,
After 11 days in the Celebrity Big Brother Summer 2017 house, Trisha has decided to leave of her own accord and will not be returning. To see all of the action following tonight’s eviction and the events leading up to Trisha’s exit, tune into tomorrow night’s show at 9 PM on 5Star and 10:30 PM on Channel 5.
The blonde bombshell decided to quit just hours after being saved from eviction. She has been miserable over the last few days and even decided to spend much of her time in bed – so the public would think she was boring.
She went head to head with Apprentice Star Karthik Nagesan in Friday night’s (August 11) live eviction special on Channel 5 and won out. Karthik was the second housemate to be evicted.
Will Honey G be joining a cosmos of stars for this year’s romp in the Celebrity Jungle?
The newly out X Factor star, Honey G, could be joining fellow celebs in this year’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and the bookies are giving good odds that she will – currently, Betway is giving odds of 9/4 that the Honey-to-the-G will be swinging in.
Last year, despite a very public hate of the X Factor star, Piers Morgan called for the rapper to enter the jungle saying on his morning show, Good Morning Britain,
“Can we put Honey G in the jungle and have her attacked by rats?
“Wouldn’t that be perfect television?”
The outspoken journalist called Honey G “grotesque” and “diabolical”!
Earlier this month Honey G, real name Anna Gilford has told The Sun‘s Dan Wooton that she has decided to come out and reveal that she wants to be with women. In a candid interview, she said,
“I was in the process of kind of deciding if I was going to stay with the boyfriend that I had at the time.
“I was DJing in Ayia Napa and I met someone out there and that was the turning point.
“I didn’t have real girlfriends until I finished university.”
The star also revealed that she hopes to find a woman to settle down with and start a family saying that she has wanted kids since she was 19-year-old.
As Big Brother ends and a new Celebrity bunch start their journey in the famous house, we take a look back at those gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans contestants to see where they all are now.

Following the announcement, MARISSA said her goodbyes and left the house, greeted by Emma and cheers from the crowd.
Emma asked Marissa if she is surprised to be first out: “I don’t think I have enough support out here. I felt like I was underdog since the second I came in. The other members in the house were definitely more known than I was.”
Asked if she wanted to win, Marissa told Emma: “I would have loved to. I got cheap-shotted. The person who put me up, I know he regretted it.”
On her killer nomination, Marissa said: “There was allies in the house. Even if people weren’t friends, there were people who knew of other people. It was easier to target someone you didn’t know.”
Emma quizzed Marissa about Jordan: “He was fun. I wasn’t really taking his actions seriously. I didn’t really know how he felt up until yesterday.”
On whether she will see Jordan outside of the house, Marissa told Emma: “I’m definitely going to see him on the outside. He’s amazing. He’s a good soul. He’s very animated, he’s full of life. But I love that about him. He’s well-rounded.”
On Chad and Amelia, Marissa said: “I think we created something out of nothing to be honest.”
Lip Sync Battle UK airs tonight on Channel 5 – and stars David Walliams and Alesha Dixon.
Two of the UK’s most famous talent judges, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon go head to head tonight on Channel 5 in Lip Sync Battle UK. The show is hosted by former Spice Girl Mel B and Professor Green. The show is a repeat.
What time is Lip Sync Battle UK on tonight?
Lip Sync Battle UK airs tonight on Channel 5 at 11.35 PM and repeats on 5+1 at 12.35 PM
Who is David Walliams?
Not only is David a talented comedian and actor in his own right, with millions of fans, but he’s also one of the UK’s most beloved talent judges thanks to his involvement in the juggernaut ITV show Britain’s Got Talent, and it might just be because of this show that many people search the internet for clues about David’s sexuality.
He has in the past, stood accused of camping up and “acting gay” during his time as a judge on the show, with many suggesting that he’s doing it just for the laughs. In fact, earlier this year, he sent the Internet into overdrive over his sexuality after seemingly falling in love with an act. Fans of the show took to social media to question David’s sexuality. Many viewers suggested that David’s behaviour was offensive and insulting because he seemed to be using overtly camp gestures or using homosexual innuendos for laughs.
Up until 2015, David Walliams was married to the supermodel, Lara Stone, after their split, fans of David’s started to question whether the Little Britain star was, in fact, gay or potentially bisexual.
In an interview with the Radio Times, he may have answered their question by saying that the gender of a partner isn’t important, but that their “heart and soul” were key factors. He hinted that he could potentially fall for either a man or a woman and suggested that “things can change for people over the years“.
In an interview, he said that as a child that he had “gay experiences” and remembering being “very confused” about it. He also admitted that has always been effeminate and that people often confuse effeminacy with being gay. He finished by remarking,
“I guess I’m just very honest about my sexuality.
“But there are plenty of effeminate people who are straight, and plenty of butch people who are gay.
Anyways, as it’s 2017 it doesn’t matter which way David swings…

The BBC is set to broadcast a programme which aims to see if kids can go gender free.
Is the way we treat boys and girls the real reason we haven’t achieved equality between men and women?
In this bold, engaging and provocative experiment, Doctor Javid Abdelmoneim aims to find out whether stripping away the pink and blue will change the way this class of seven-year-olds think.
Being gender neutral
Taking over one Year 3 class from Lanesend primary school in the Isle of Wight, Doctor Javid aims to remove all differences in the way boys and girls are treated to see if, after six weeks of gender neutral treatment, he can even out the gaps in their achievement across a range of important psychological measures from self-confidence to spatial awareness.
As a doctor, he knows there are basic biological differences between the sexes, but he believes our biology can’t fully explain why men and women’s life chances – from pay, to careers are still so unequal in the UK. Even a quick shopping trip reveals just how much childhood has changed since Dr. Javid was growing up, with a tsunami of pink and blue clothes and toys aimed at different genders. A visit to Professor Gina Rippon at Aston University, one of the UK’s leading experts in brain imaging and neuroscience, reveals there is no such thing as a male or female brain type and instead the brain is a plastic organ, shaped and moulded by experiences, in which childhood is key.
Shocked by the children’s own polarised opinions on how boys and girls should live their lives, Doctor Javid commissions Dr Stella Mavroveli from the Psychometric Lab at University College London to assess between boys and girls behaviour and psychological traits from confidence to self-esteem, empathy and social skills. Upset by the results, Dr Javid sets out a series of interventions both in class and at home, to tackle these differences. Will Doctor Javid’s gender neutral mission produce meaningful change when he later repeats his tests at the end of term?
There are two episodes in this series, episode 1 will broadcast on Wednesday 16th August and the second will air on the 23rd August. Times to be confirmed, both will be broadcast on BBC 2
No More Boys And Girls: Can Our Kids Go Gender Free? is produced by Outline Productions for BBC Two

CBB stars Sam Thompson and Jordan Davies got very close last night in bed…
It all began with Jordan saying to his bed mate Sam, “I’m happy with our bed situation… I was expecting a hand around me this morning”. The pair chose to sleep in the same bed after all the available single beds were taken by their fellow housemates.
The reality stars got closer than they thought last night after sharing a bed. It seems as though Jordan out his arms around Sam in his sleep – ahhh!
Spooning time?
The lads were discussing their sharing situation when Jordan remembered that he started touching Sam’s hair in his sleep- after he forgot that he was sharing with him. Sam also reminds him that Jordan was also stroking his back. To which Jordan says he remembers before collapsing to the floor in laughter.
Sam, laughed and said, “I thought it was a dream” … before adding “let it happen!”
