Celebrity Big Brother viewers branded Ken Morley “disgusting” last night after he told Chloe Goodman to think of her career after the Jeremy Jackson scandal.
Former Ex On The Beach star Chloe was seen fleeing from the bathroom in tears in yesterday’s episode after Jeremy allegedly pulled down her dressing gown to expose her breast.
She complained to Big Brother saying she did not give former Baywatch actor Jeremy permission to touch her in any way and the American star was removed from the house as a result.
But Coronation Street legend Ken failed to see the seriousness of the situation and suggested Chloe should tread carefully around Jeremy if she wanted to get ahead in Hollywood.
Ken told her: “You know that Jeremy is a Jewish film producer from New York... don’t f**k yourself completely about it.”
However, a shocked Chloe spat back: “I don’t care if he was the f**king Pope. I don’t feel comfortable. I’m not going to keep him happy... That’s not me.”
Chloe repeated Ken’s comments to her fellow housemates in disbelief, leaving the rest of the group astounded.
Television presenter Nadia Sawalha replied: “Why would he say that? He’s a silly, nasty old man, who is very, very angry about what people have said to him today and he’s trying to wind y0u up and get you upset.”
Ken had been warned earlier in the day about his sexist remarks and had also got into a heated conversation with American R&B singer Alexander O’Neal after the actor used a word that could be seen as racially offensive.
As a result of making the other housemates feel uncomfortable; he was nominated for the public vote during Friday’s live show alongside Chloe and Alexander, who were both picked by motormouth Katie Hopkins earlier in the week.
