Big Brother release statement following claims of transphobic comments
Big Brother is “looking into” an alleged transphobic ‘joke’ that has led to fans demanding Paul Blackburn be evicted from the house.
The 23-year-old security guard was allegedly seen on the livestream over the weekend making a transphobic remark over former housemate Hallie Clarke, a transgender woman.
Over the weekend, to celebrate Spooky Season, the house had been decorated in sinister decorations including skeletons. One of the skeletons, seen in the garden, had been given breasts made of oranges, as well as an appendage to mimic what looked like a penis.
On Twitter/X on 30 October, users were quick to call out Paul, who allegedly referred to the skeleton as Hallie. The perceived transphobic slur came after she had revealed that she was planning to have gender affirming surgery.
