Celebrity Big Brother’s India Willoughby had a crush on Dapper Laughs.
The 51-year-old presenter – who was Britain’s first transgender television newsreader – shocked the nation when she asked singer Ginuwine for a kiss while she was in the famous house, but she has admitted it was the controversial comedian, who has 13-month-old daughter Neve with his partner Shelley Rae, she had her eye on.
Speaking to new! magazine, she said: "I actually fancied Dapper Laughs – he’s more my sort of guy. I’m looking for a geezer. I hope some wide boy has been watching and thinks, ‘Ooh, that India girl’s my sort of girl’."
However, India – who was the first to get the boot from the competition – caused tensions in the house when she claimed her male co stars would rather flirt with drag queen Shane Jenek – who is gay – instead of with her.
She said: "[The men would] feel more comfortable flirting with Shane because he’s a gay guy."
Shane then quipped: "It’s also because of my demeanour. Not just because I’m a gay guy."
In response, India hit out at the LGBT movement, as she insisted the community has added "confusion" to her life and made her feel "drowned out".
She said: "I think this is part of the problem being hitched to LGB. It’s the confusion element. I do feel that women like me have, sort of, been drowned out by the LGBT narrative that’s been going on."
Shane – who is best known for his drag queen alter-ego Courtney Act – disagreed with India’s comments, claiming she wouldn’t be where she was without the help of the LGBT community.
He argued: "The LGBT has allowed you to be here to have this voice. The trans people were such a small part, one to three percent. And by lobbying, essentially, with the L, G and the B, and from 1969 to now, we now have an environment [where you] can be a news reader."
