    The housemate, Sam Giffen who is gay himself has attracted criticism on social media after having a heart to heart with fellow out housemate, Andy West.

    One user even suggested that the housemate “hated being gay” after revealing that he didn’t believe gay men who act “stereotypically gay” were being true to themselves.

    Speaking to Andy, Sam said,

    “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.”

     

    Earlier in the week he was blasted for using the homophobic slur “bum boys” which he directed at on air lovers Hughie and Ryan during a heated row.

     

    One viewer Tweeted,

    “Maybe they’re not acting, Sam… Maybe they’re more camp because they feel they can be themselves!”

    Another called him a bad advocate saying,

    “This conversation is stupid. Why doesn’t Sam realise that flamboyant queens are being themselves? That is themselves!? Bad advocate.”

    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…”

    Big Brother housemate Andrew Tate removed after homophobic and racist tweets discovered

    Big Brother housemate Andrew Tate was removed after the discovery of homophobic and racist tweets on his social media accounts.

    Andrew

    Contestant Andrew Tate was removed from the Big Brother house after homophobic and racist tweets were found on his twitter timeline.

    The tweets were sent several years ago before he entered the BB compound. However producers of show eluded that his removal was due to “new information” – and not necessarily because of the offensive tweets on his social media account.

    In one tweet on Tate’s timeline LGBT education in schools was criticised.

    “They are teaching gay issues to 7-yr old kids. BY LAW. A pure homosexual cannot reproduce, so they need your children for new partners. OK.”

    Racist comments posted on Tate’s timeline suggest that Cheryl Fernadez Versini was a “w*g socket” referring to her marriage to Ashley Cole and another racially offensive tweet read, “I wanted to see black people running id just threaten them with jobs [sic].”

    Big Brother is back with an unpredictable new series.

    From Day One the Housemates will be under attack from an unseen ominous dark force that will have a dramatic and divisive effect on the House.

    Join Emma Willis live on launch night as the Housemates enter the unknown.  Whilst things may seem to be straight forward Big Brother will make sure that no-one will have the entire picture.  There may even be deeper connections at work?  The Housemates are not alone and they should be ready for paranoia and suspicion.

    The Big Brother House has been transformed into a slick, stark monochrome world.  Whilst everything may seem to be black and white – that certainly won’t be the case.

    Viewers should prepare for a ‘yin and yang’ style force to evolve Big Brother for a new generation.  This force will affect the Housemates for better or for worse.  So who will survive the summer and win £100,000?  You decide!

    Big Brother’s Bit On the Side returns week nights with Rylan Clark-Neal.  Joining him will be a variety of celebrity panelists and an audience of BB fans to debate hot topics, reveal exclusives and go behind the scenes of the main show.

    The growing bromance between Austin Armacost and James Hill is v v cute to watch…

    Austin Armacost has admitted that he has grown “accustomed” to sharing a bed with fellow housemate and former Apprentice star James Hill and as this picture suggests they’ve been doing a bit of spooning.

    Austin however has on numerous occasions said that he only has eyes for his Yorkshireman husband Jake, to whom he’s been married for five years.

    James has also spoken about being comfortable enough with his sexuality to bond with Austin in the way that he has.

    During their fake, fake eviction ex-porn star Jenna Jameson and Farrah (we’re still not quite sure) decided to put Austin up for eviction, unknowingly saving him from public vote this week. They called him a “firestarter.”
