CBB’s Winston continues to outrage viewers after refusing to share a bed with a man

By Will Stroude

Former UKIP spokespersons Winston McKenzie has continued to court controversy in the Celebrity Big Brother house after refusing to share a bed with any male housemates.

The 62-year-old, who managed to offend viewers with a homophobic slur before even setting foot in the house earlier this week, told his fellow housemates that sharing a bed with a man was “against his principles” and that he’d “rather sleep on a bench”.

Sounds like someone doth protest a little too much.

“I am not sharing a bed with a man. It’s against my principles,” McKenzie told the group, which includes the likes of former Eastenders star John Partridge and former X Factor finalist Christpher Maloney.

“Sorry but I’d rather sleep on the floor or on a bench!”

He continued: “I could share a bed with a woman in here We could sleep head to toe, she can sleep on the bottom and I can sleep at the top.

“But I am not sharing a bed with a man. I don’t care how this comes across. I am not sharing a bed, with a man. No f**k off. I’m not doing it.”

Th 62-year-old was later branded a “creep” by viewers after repeatedly trying to cuddle some of the female housemates.

“I’ve been waiting for this moment”, McKenzie told the 34-year-old Flavor of Love star Tiffany Pollard as he clutched her to him.

Naturally, viewers and celebs were quick to react to Winston’s bedtime comments on Twitter, with Denise Welch branding him a “plonker” for his refusal to share a bed with a man.

“Because of course Winston is every gay mans dream!!!” the former Loose Women panelist wrote.

Thankfully, Winston could be on his way out of the infamous Elstree compound in just a matter of hours: he faces eviction tonight in a public vote against Nancy Dell’Olio and former Strictly dancer Kristina Rihanoff.

Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on Channel 5.
