He's a drama queen and he seemed to have a mania thing happening, but he was mostly just trying to entertain everyone, and I for one found him very funny and very colourful. Most of the other housemates were just jealous of him stealing "their" camera time and Katie Hopkins wanted him isolated to limit his exposure because she wanted to win so badly that she was practically gagging for it.

It's one thing tempers flaring in the house, where people are having to cope longer-term, but it's quite another for presenters to be so obnoxious and judgemental. He has been described as "vile" and "odious" by presenters and panel guests, while the racist bigot and bully Hopkins won cheers. Eamon Holmes was absolutely horrible about Perez, and BOTS seemed to line up a firing squad of people who hated him. It seemed spiteful, hateful, ungrateful and malicious. Presumably it was their revenge for his prima donna behaviour on the show. How petty, vicious and unkind it looked. Thank Christ I am not English. I'd be ashamed to the core of my being.

True enough. While he's frying his fish, Hatie Hopkins the Harridan is dishing up more vinegar. I dunno why anyone's prepared to watch her. I find her a repetitive, intellectually stunted bore.
