  • The first gay marriage proposal makes history for Big Brother

    The first gay marriage proposal makes history for Big Brother

    Big Brother has broadcast its first ever marriage proposal as Andy West’s partner drops the big question.

    Andy West was visibly shocked as his partner Ed dropped the big question live on television last night. It’s the first proposal ever for the long running Big Brother programme.

    And it was a double one. First Andy, who has been away from his boyfriend for 26 days, asked his boyfriend, but Ed had one better – he actually had the ring.

    Ed proposed to Andy when they were enjoying a private meal organised by BB. As Ed slipped the ring on Andy’s finger, he said, “Grey and old, baby!”

    Andy responded, “I’m so lucky, I knew it before, but being in here – I can’t live without you.”

    Ed told Andy, “You have made me stupidly proud.”

    Andy West came to public attention last year after been suspended by the BBC for his criticism of them for including Tyson Fury on their Sports Personality short-list.

    He resigned from the BBC, saying: “I am ashamed to work for the BBC when it lacks bravery to admit it is making a mistake.”

    This year’s Big Brother has a number of out gay and bisexual men as housemates, four to be exact. The largest number since the show started over a decade ago.

    In this evening’s show Alex and Sam have a heart to heart about growing up gay and why certain gay men act in particular ways when they come out.

    Andy West, who was suspended by the BBC after he criticised the broadcaster for their decision to add Tyson Fury on the Sports Personality shortlist reveals,

    “I do remember feeling unpopular when I was 9 or 10, I tried to be different so I could have friends.”

    Sam adds;

    “I don’t judge people, but what I do think is sometimes people think just because they are gay they have to act a certain way, because those people expect them to be.

    In certain situations they feel they have to act more stereotypically gay. Each to their own. I think you should be true to yourself and be real.”

    Andy replies;

    “People say to me that I don’t seem gay…”

    Sam Giffen was blasted by social media users this week after he called on-air lovers Hughie and Ryan “bum boys”.

    Big Brother continues on Channel 5 tonight at 9PM
