Explosive Revelations Rock ITV’s Celebrity Big Brother! Jack P. Shepherd’s Co-Star Breaks Silence in Shocking Outburst, Exposing Unbelievable Mistreatment That Has Fans and Insiders Reeling! Dive Into the Juicy Details of This Unprecedented Scandal That Threatens to Topple the Show’s Glittering Facade!

A former Coronation Street favourite has opened up about David Platt actor Jack P Shepherd’s early days in the Celebrity Big Brother house, calling on ITV chiefs to ramp up his screen presence.

Nicola Thorp, who played Nicola Rubinstein on the cobbles, joined stand-in presenter Christine Lampard and telly guru Lucie Cave on ITV’s Lorraine to dish on the latest gossip, including the drama surrounding Hollywood star Mickey Rourke’s stint in the house.

Rourke has been stirring the pot with his antics and has faced backlash for being “misogynist” and “homophobic” after making controversial remarks towards American singer JoJo Siwa, which led to a warning from the show’s producers.

While discussing the topic, Lucie pointed out that Rourke seemed to be hogging the limelight, with Nicola chiming in that other celebs – who this time include Patsy Palmer, Angellica Bell, and Chris Hughes – were barely getting a look-in on the show.

Nicola commented: “We’ve not even seen some of the characters… Jack Shepherd, we’ve hardly seen Jack, I know Jack, he’s amazing, he’s such a party animal and an incredible character so I’m surprised that we’ve not seen much of him but I do think he’ll do well, he’s a very likeable guy so it wouldn’t surprise me if we actually saw a lot more of him,” reports Plymouth Live.

Elsewhere Christine couldn’t hide her discomfort at Rourke’s comments, expressing how they made her “cringe”. The topic sparked debate among them, with Lucie and Nicola questioning if enough had been done to put a stop to his remarks.

The 72-year-old Hollywood legend had caused quite the stir, throwing around a derogatory term at JoJo, body-shaming actress Donna Preston, and criticising Patsy Palmer’s culinary skills.

Christine said: “It’s almost so obvious that this is just not the way you’re supposed to be,” before hypothesising, “Is he just wanting to be voted off? Is that maybe the game plan?”

Lucie weighed in with her take, suggesting: “I don’t think he’s planning on being in there very long but I really don’t know. He’s a fascinating character albeit a pretty awful one at the moment.”

Continuing her observations, Lucie expressed curiosity over his motives: “I really don’t know what his actual game plan is because he acts like he didn’t even know what Big Brother was but… does he? Or does he not?”

Nicola asked: “Do you think it could be a front?” With Lucie agreeing: “Yeah, it could be,” Christine rounded off with a knowing touch, “Anything’s possible, we’ve seen it all before haven’t we.”

On Wednesday’s Celebrity Big Brother, Mickey sparked a heated conversation with LGBTQ dancer JoJo, leaving her visibly upset. Mickey inquired about JoJo’s preferences, asking: “Do you like girls or boys?” JoJo replied: “Me? Girls. My partner is non-binary.”

Mickey then made a remark that JoJo found offensive, stating: “If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore,” JoJo firmly responded: “I can guarantee I’ll still be gay and I’ll still be in a very happy relationship.”
