On Saturday 3rd August, 2013, I was a guest on the Channel 5 show Big Brothers Bit On The Psych. Another guest was Big Brother evictee Callum Knell.
Part of my remit as a regular contributor to the show is to express my own opinions. I am allowed and encouraged to say what I think, I have no company line to toe. Or indeed tow. In previous episodes I had made it clear that Callum Knell was not one of my favourite housemates by quite some way.
However, on this recent episode, I took things too far. My banter was inappropriate and crossed a line by quite some considerable distance. When Callum asked me for my opinion, I should not have used this as an opportunity to launch a personal attack on the gentleman. I should not have said what he did bordered on bullying. I should not have got angry in the way that I did. There were better ways of saying what I thought without losing my temper.
I behaved unprofessionally and inconsiderately. I have apologised privately to Mr.Knell and I am using this as an opportunity to apologise publically.
Thanks to everyone on Twitter and various internet forums who have provided constructive criticism of my performance on the show.
Apologies as well to the excellent host of the show, AJ, for putting her in an awkward position.
I shall continue to offer my opinion but I shall temper my behaviour.

Iain Lee

What do you think?

By far the most decent thing I have ever seen that man do.

What do you think?

What do I think? I don;t think Iain said anything wrong.

To tell the truth, I do think Iain is going a bit nuts. But that has nothing to do with what he said to Callum.

[bananarama]

He spoke the truth every word was a fact and a reality. I feel let down that he has apologised to such a manipulative housemate.......

I don't really like the presenter but on this occasion he hit the nail on the head and was justified in saying every word he said.

Calum is busy manipulating all he meets. Especially the dumb studio audiences who clap like mindless trained seals. When asked if who he would save if all the hosemates were drowning he chose Sam and Gina a deliberate show of bitterness to Charlie just because she saw through him.

Calum is by far one of the nastiest manipulating housemates i have ever seen throughout the big brother series on both channel 4 and 5

This is true he got far too lightly the creepy little git!

I think if anything he went easy on Callum!
It's only because all 5 or so of Callum's fans are kicking up a stink on twatter or wherever they are that Iain is doing the gentlemanly thing and apologising, and because he doesn't want Callum to start crying next time he's on BOTS.

Too right he should apologise


It's good to have an opinion, but he embarrassingly unprofessional and it became personal on someone who at most was a little irritating and cringey occasionally. Hardly a hanging offence

My view too, he went too far and came across extremely ignorant too.

Decent of him to apologise but I hope he thinks a bit more before opening his mouth.

[karezza]

Creepy Callum should apologise for his creepy behaviour in the BB house.

Dearest Iain

How embarrassing for you. You thank fans for "constructive criticism" yet at the time loved the abuse you were receiving, you were lapping up the attention and have now blocked those same fans who you pretend to thank.

Obviously this is a forced apology you have been instructed to write by Channel 5 in order to keep your job on the Saturday show.

You must feel incredibly stupid now after bragging about your behaviour on the show and now having to do a complete U-Turn and apologise to someone you obviously hate from watching a heavily edited 45 minute entertainment show.

Humble pie.

Exactly.

It is so easy to to sit slagging someone off when they are in the BB house, bit different when they are sat in front of you.
He is an ignoramus .

And funny how he refers to himself as a 'guest on the Channel 5 show Big Brothers Bit'.

I thought he was the co-host.

De facto co host added to try to get AJ through the hour but not technically listed as a presenter.

[smeagol]

shame he had to do that. he was pretty tame i thought. he done great job on the creep
i was hoping for more though

[Gusto Brunt]

If that's the case, that he was told to make an apology or else, then he should have refused.

Then we all would have known why he was sacked. And he could have written about it on his blog.

But I guess he was too frightened to do that. So he toed the line.

[waterhog]

i think he should put himself up for a celeb edition -
