Pete Burns has alleged that Celebrity Big Brother was rigged and that the all the participants were edited into personas.

He said: "I am absolutely confident, whether they want to sue me or not, that it's rigged, it was obvious Chantelle was going to win".

The 80s icon also claimed he was not as nasty in the house as he appeared but was a victim of slick production.

He said: "I haven't seen the show and I'm not sorry for a damn thing that I said.

"The whole structure of big brother is about cause and effect and they don't show the cause.

"Everybody has a role that they're edited into, it's an extremely creative show that's put together by a team of eminent psychologists to hit people's trigger points."

When asked why he did the show in the first place he said he simply did it as he needed the money.
