Bear threatens to quit Celebrity Big Brother as fellow housemates ignore him
Bear said he feels 'victimised'
Stephen ‘Bear’ Bear has certainly been the most controversial housemate in the Celebrity Big Brother house this year, but now he has threatened to quit the show after his fellow housemates ignored him.
After his sexual antics with Chloe Khan and his recent outrageous behaviour in the house, James Whale, Samantha Fox, Franke Grande, Ricky Norwood, Katie Waisell and Renee Graziano have all called a ‘strike’ against Bear and are refusing to talk to him.

After being ignored, a clearly annoyed Bear threated to leave the show, claiming “I’m being victimised”.
He went on to say “I feel like I’m being victimised. I can’t take this anymore. They need to grow up!” After being ignored once again, the former Ex on the Beach star stormed into the house shouting “It’s not on. This is embarrassing, it really is. I only put a bit of a cake on a zebra. How is that so bad?”.
Following his rant, radio presenter James Whale broke his silence saying “Bear, there comes a time in everybody’s life when they don’t want to be involved.”
To which an angered Bear said “Wow, I’ve never had anything like this before. I feel like this is ridiculous.”
On last night’s show viewers witnessed Bear, Chloe Khan, Lewis Bloor and Marnie Simpson celebrating after escaping eviction. After Chloe danced topless on a pole in the garden and then chose to throw food in the bedroom, the remaining housemates were appalled at the their behaviour.

The scene comes as activists demand the show to be axed following its nudity and sex scenes.
Speaking to a national newspaper, Media Watch UK said “If Channel 5 needs to resort to this sort of controversy to maintain any interest in Celebrity Big Brother, then perhaps the format needs to be allowed to die a bit more quietly.
“What’s more concerning here is Channel 5’s on demand service that allows children to watch such programmes with just a box tick to say they’re old enough. Post-watershed is one thing but the Internet means nudity is on the air 24 hours a day.”
Despite the complaints, the show continues to air every night.
