Maybe he is allergic to lycra .

I agree in principle Kazanne but they are expected to do what is expected.
If this was Coleen or any other hm refusing to wear something,even if it were Jedward,I would be still saying they were wrong to refuse without a valid reason

There must not be a valid reason or anything as to health since BB have stated his refusal is a breaking of the rules.
BB is annoying but all hms no matter who they may be, should have to abide by the set rules they voluntarily accept in order to go on the show in the first place.

Or maybe he does not like the idea of being made look stupid in the persuit of pleasing the producers. Many times lycra shows things we dont need to see and over weight people look hideous in it. Just look around at the over 50 cyclists.

This is what I think too,I mean he would look kinda ridiculous and would be a laughing stock especially to the stupid Chloe,or maybe he has got health reasons we are not privy to, and Joey I would have also understood Coleen had she refused,overweight people do not look good in lycra,infact does anyone? just a thought

Actually for me Coleen looked better in the outfit and mask.

I think James would have looked rather good and with his acting skill,really excelled at this task.

I like him and think he has a good chance to reach the final,even possibly winning.
I'd far rather him win over most of them in there too now.

However I still say all housemates should do the full tasks unless there are health reasons for not doing so.
Let's hope he doesn't refuse any more elements of tasks as that could pull support from others away from him.

That's the point of the costumes, they are not made to wear them so they look good

The Lord Commander in Lycra? Don't be so stupid Luvvie

[MrWong]

He barely features and now this?

He should go next tbh. Lots of entertaining hm's this series and I'd be gutted if any left before him.

[Dash Darington]

Plenty of people have refused to wear costumes in the past. Michael Madsen, for example. Strange that people are making an issue of it now. I think the bottom-feeders' total lack of dignity has become the new normal for the audience, and they're confused by anything else.

[parmnion]

It would probably irritate his arse crack rash.

[the-gaffer]

very childish, listening to his ňwn press within the house, hope it backfires on him

Things like what?

Im not familiar with his work, has he appeared half naked or in skin tight clothing recently?

[Jamie89]

His cardigan IS his superhero costume

[Papillon]

Firstly, I doubt we saw the whole reason why James refused to wear the lycra...

He's still doing the task just not wearing the costume.
