Celebrity Big Brother 2015: Alexander O’Neal Admits That He Was Asked To Leave

Well, it’s a few months late and hardly a groundbreaking revelation, but Celebrity Big Brother’s Alexander O’Neal has finally admitted that he was asked to leave the reality show under the guise that he’d walked.

QUELLE SURPRISE.

The US hitmaker stunned fans when he appeared to have enough of the show and left the competition following a heated argument with champion pest, Perez Hilton, and now Alexander has claimed that if it were up to him, he would have stuck it out.

Speaking to the Daily Star ahead of CBB’s summer launch this Thursday, Al dished: “I never walked out. When I had my row with Perez that day,
Big Brother called me up to the diary room and said ‘We think it’s
time for you to leave. We don’t want you to stay and shoot yourself in
the foot’.

“So we came to a mutual agreement and they said they would pay my full
fee. But they said ‘We don’t want you to say anything about this to
anybody until the series is over’.”

Well you took your bloomin’ time, babes - that series ended yonks ago.

The singer goes on to clarify: “I didn’t want to go. I was never going to quit and I didn’t quit. They said it was time for me to go.

“People think I walked out. My housemates know I didn’t walk out. I want to talk about this now.”

Perez made his name on the show after getting under every other contestant’s skin and rubbing them up the wrong way, and with producers sensing that Alexander was about to snap with the US blogger, they decided that him leaving was the safest solution.

The 61 year old added: “Big Brother wasn’t going to be able to control what was going to happen between me and Perez.

“I was getting ready to make his life a holy hell. So they requested I
should go.”

We just wonder why the same option wasn’t ever given to Perez’s number one nemesis Katie Hopkins…
