James Jordan missed notorious troublemakers Stephen Bear and Perez Hilton on Celebrity Big Brother this series just as much as you do.

The duo were tipped early on as likely candidates for the All Stars and New Stars series, but Perez recently revealed to Digital Spy that Channel 5 couldn't afford him after paying former housemate Ray J a massive $1 million.

A lack of truly diabolical housemates was one of the big complaints when we caught up with Strictly pro James Jordan, who was evicted after a shocking round of face-to-face nominations on Tuesday.

When we asked James J about rumbling Kim Woodburn, he admitted: "I was still in Hell the first night, but when I came in she came for me straight away – I hadn't even said hello to her I don't think. She basically attacked me.

"I believe she had a hit list, that she was going for, trying to goad people, and if you come for me I don't care who you are I will come back at you. I can't believe anyone is that nasty!

"I think she's just trying to play the game because she's a fan of the show, she knows what the show needs, she was watching it for a week before she came in, and I'm sure she wants to go in there and give viewers what they want.

"I was (in there) wanting it to kick off more. I was bored! I was praying for someone like Bear or Perez to walk down, just so I could literally have someone that could at least make my day go faster. But I'm not gonna go at a 74-year-old lady, especially when she's got loads of washing up to do."

James even took aim at Celebrity Big Brother, accusing the show of deliberately riling up housemates before tense moments (like nominations or tasks).

"I think that's the clever thing with Big Brother – you get bored out of your mind during the day and then all of a sudden you've got to do a task, and you're already on edge because you're bored," he explained.

"And then they have you waiting around in a hot room, and you're getting annoyed, and they're taking their time getting to do things, and when it comes to nominations you just blurt it out because you wanna get out the room. It's so clever, the psychology behind it… I can't explain it."

In his exit interview with Emma Willis earlier in the night, James J said he was conflicted about becoming the fourth housemate evicted this series.

"I'm gutted! At the same time, I get to see my wife [Ola Jordan], it's win-win," he told Emma.

Celebrity Big Brother continues on Wednesday (January 18) at 9pm on Channel 5.
