Bisexual Big Brother star Twinks says she’s a ‘turner’ as she ‘gives Pauline gay panic’
Twinks flirts with Pauline in Big Brother (ITV)
Big Brother star Lucinda “Twinks” Burnett reckons she’s giving co-star Pauline Adeyemo “gay panic” after another episode of hardcore flirting.
During Thursday’s episode (8 October), Twinks, who has divided housemates with her conversations about the LGBTQ+ community and even the word “queer”, appeared to flirt with Pauline, who has said she wants a husband.
In tonight’s episode, with gossip the name of the game, it seems the flirtathon will continue – but who is flirting with who?
Housemates are given a task which will ask them to share gossip with Big Brother in return for a prize, and soon enough Twinks heads in to spill the tea.
She says: “I think Pauline’s got a big fat crush on me and is flirting with me. Look, I’m not saying that I’m not flirting with Pauline, but I think Pauline is flirting with me, big time.”
‘If she was single, she would have probably tried to get with me.’
Later, Pauline speaks to co-stars Harry Symonds, who is gay, suggesting she has some gossip of her own.
She says: “I’ve actually got one but I don’t think I should say it. I was thinking, if she was single, she would have probably tried to get with me.”
Twinks, who is bisexual, is in a longterm relationship with a man, however they are ethically non-monogamous, which she says allows her to explore with other people.
Pauline goes on: “Some of the stuff that she says, I’m like, ‘Careful now. Down girl.'”
Later, Twinks asks Pauline for a bottle, but Pauline, smiling, says she doesn’t know where it is. “Give me the bottle, P, or we are gonna fight,” Twinks tells her. “And you know how that’s gonna end.”
Pauline laughs as she tells her she “wants to fight”.
‘No girl’s safe’
In the garden, Twinks declares: “P is thirsty. I’m giving P gay panic. ‘Twinksy the turner’. No girl’s safe.”
Big Brother fans have been left divided by the teaser. One said: “I love Twinks but I fear she’s doing too much too soon.” Another said: “I am loving this side of Pauline, she’s taken the chill pill and is having fun and being free. YOLO!” While another questioned if the apparent change in Pauline was because she was facing the eviction, so was now “up for a showmance”.
Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
