Celebrity Big Brother’s Ken Morley branded “professional pervert” by TV advert co-star

Ken Morley has been branded a “professional pervert” by a model he once worked with on a television advert.

The former Celebrity Big Brother housemate, 71, was removed from the show this week for his “unacceptable and offensive” language.

He offended his housemates after making comments that could be deemed as racist and also made “sexist” remarks towards his female co-stars, which included when he walked into the bathroom and announced: “There’s always one place you can get a good view of a really good arse.”

Now model Sarah Whitefoot has spoken out about the Coronation Street legend, claiming he leered at her and made her feel incredibly uncomfortable when they worked together.

Sarah was cast alongside Ken in 2002 to play a glamorous “dolly dealer” and wore a low-cut, bejewelled dress in a commercial for double glazing company Safestyle UK.

However, the professional actor took 20 takes to nail the scene and Sarah thinks he may have purposefully stumbled over his lines so he could spend more time with her.

She told The Sun: “The filming took place years ago but it was such a disgusting experience I can remember it like it was yesterday.

“Hearing about him on Celebrity Big Brother brought it all back to me.

“Within minutes of meeting me he was putting his arm round me and slapping my bum.

“He couldn’t take his eyes off my cleavage. I felt so uncomfortable. I remember my instant reaction was to pull my prop card which had the slogan ‘BOGOF’ over me.”

Sarah went on to say that Ken made her feel awkward as he apparently licked his lips and glared at her.

“He was a professional pervert,” she said. “As though this was the way he normally acted, as if it was acceptable.

“I was clearly just an object to him. It was quite sinister really. He was putting his hands round my waist, cuddling me and patting my bum.

“He was also licking his lips. That’s a really creepy thing that he does – he licks his lips and does this chuckle.”

Sarah claims Ken went on to ask personal questions about her boyfriend and when she told the actor her partner was older, Ken suggested Sarah would be attracted to him too.

The model says she could not bring herself to watch Celebrity Big Brother after finding out Ken had been signed up for the show.

After working with Ken, Sarah says she begged her agent never to pair her with him again.

She concluded: "I am just so glad he has been exposed for who he really is."
