Big Brother 2014’s Mark Byron Doesn’t Take It Lying Down!

Big Brother 2014 semi-finalist Mark Byron was yesterday the subject of Big Brother 2014 Winner, Helen Wood’s vicious column on the Daily Star Online.

The infamous sharp-tongued columnist branded Mark a ‘fake sponging b******d’, as well as outing his very private and personal relationship.

Yesterday (Monday 20th) Mark kept a dignified and classy silence, not once reacting to her obvious attempts at provocation and instead choosing to issue a very short and simple public statement via his new management.

“In light of a certain column in today's Daily Star we have a short statement on Mark Byron's behalf.

He will always be incredibly grateful for the opportunities Big Brother gave him and the people he met, however for him it was just a summer of fun and at the end of the day just a reality TV show.

Since the show ended, quite some time ago, Mark has got on with his life and is blissfully happy in both his friendships and personal, private relationships.

Mark wishes all the housemates good luck in their future endeavors and has no ill feelings towards any of them, even to this day.”

The almost laughable claims made by Helen, despite them being her own vague interpretation of the truth have left Mark dumfounded and hurt that her words have a shameful connotation.

Her decision to share news of Mark’s relationship with her readers; a relationship Mark and his boyfriend have actively kept incredibly private, is even more hurtful and disheartening, especially as he once considered her a friend.

With logical explanation and no headline chasing spin her statements couldn’t be further from the truth and the truth Helen chose to leave out of her column point the finger of shame her direction.

Since the incredibly controversial and dramatic 2014 installment of Big Brother ended that very same controversy and drama didn’t end for certain housemates and despite only taking great memories and positives from the experience Mark saw a dark-side to life after the show.

Note to editors – we are currently taking interview and feature enquiries for Mark and he is on the hunt for a home, either online or in print, for a tell-all, honest review type column covering this years BBUK.
