Channel 5 have denied that Perez Hilton was ‘made to stay’ on Celebrity Big Brother.



Perez was evicted from the show last night but claimed he had tried to “repeatedly” walk from the house.

Speaking to Rylan Clark on Bit On The Side, Perez even told how producers took him out of the Diary Room at one point to personally convince him to remain in the series

“They convinced me not to leave. Big Brother convinced me not to leave – repeatedly. I tried walking many times,” Perez said. “I’m being really honest. Let me be real honest – this is my time to be real honest.

“I won’t mention names but I got out of the Diary Room and somebody from production said, ‘You can’t quit – it’s The Perez Show’. I’m all about me, myself and I.”

Saying that he ‘didn’t want to get anyone in trouble’, Perez continued: “I won’t mention who. They did… While I was in the house they said, ‘This is the most watched Celebrity Big Brother in years and it’s The Perez Show’.

“Once I heard that I thought, ‘Alright, why am I going to quit if it’s the ******ing Perez Show and if it’s the most watched season in years?'”

A spokesperson for Channel 5 has since responded to Perez’s comments with a short statement.

They said: “Housemates are free to leave the house at any time.

“Perez’s decision to stay in the Big Brother house was his, and his alone.”

Or maybe Perez was lying? Not like he's made a career of it or anything

[Denver]

I knew it and its just another story he made up if i was the producers id take him to court

[Cherie]

He is still hogging the threads, he knows how to court publicity

[Amy Jade]

I still believe he was convinced to stay rather than them telling him it was his show etc, they generally try to convince all possible walkers.

Watching him on BOTS stall Rylan and give himself time to think up a lie though was a pretty big indicator he was lying imo

But people wont accept this and will blame anything on him being evicted

[Calderyon]

I do not believe them for a second. Of course they would not admit to that, even if it happened, cause it would make them look really bad.

The Perez Show comment was most likely exaggeration on his part, but i believe fully that he was persuaded hard by the producers to stay in the house.

[Vanessa]

I hope Perez names and shames them. That will teach them to lie.

Is that before or after he is charged with slander?

^this.

There is a huge difference between being forced to stay (kept against ones will) and persuaded to stay. I don't doubt for a moment that Parez was persuaded through kind words. He and Hopkins have made this show and the last thing CBB needed was him leaving.

i believe Perez tbh, the way the secret room task happened right after he decided he wanted out was a bit suspicious imo

The only thing i believ is they wanted him to stay because they already had 3 leave from the back door the rest he made up

[bitontheslide]

That statement is all about semantics. Yes, perez was free to go at anytime, but that doesn't mean they did not arrange the secret room for him and exclude him from nominations in order to help convince him to stay.

If they had made any other statement it would mean he was being held against his will.

This.

Also the way he entered the secret room looking pretty fed up and straight away sparked up and said the Perez Show was back on.. I'm sure he was told that Big Brother had actually become the Perez Show to convince him to stay.

[erinp5]

I believe Perez was asked to stay, I also believe he was told he could chill out in the "secret room " and that's why he continued with the show .

This basically the rest he made up

I agree. I don't believe anyone told him it was the Perez show and he was popular etc

I agree with you. Perez imo was possibly was made to sign a "gagging clause"
possibly why Ryland shut him down last night when he wanted to say something.

At the time Perez went to the chill out room he looked very traumatised and I do believe he wanted to leave at this point. Possibly he was talked down because he was a pivotal player in the show. Maybe even offered a bonus as well, imo, to keep him in. Its obvious he was the CBB 15 all on his own. I'm glad Perez had the respite from the others he desperately needed.

We'll possibly never know everything!

I believe that also. There have been so many seemingly obvious manipulations in BB of late, especially when it concerns noms, so I wouldn't put it past them doing this at all.
