Celebrity Big Brother's latest housemate, Michael Fabricant, faced probing questions about his striking blonde hair in Thursday night's episode, leaving the ex-Conservative MP affronted. Eastenders icon Patsy Palmer prompted the discussion. This week witnessed the grand launch of the new series on ITV, where for the very first time, the Big Brother celebrities found themselves settling into an all-new abode.
Amongst those lined up for the first eviction are Hollywood stalwart Mickey Rourke, former Tory politician Sir Michael Fabricant, and Coronation Street 's own Jack P. Shepherd. As the tension mounts ahead of eviction night, let's delve a bit deeper into the life of this Tory ex-MP, unpacking mysteries around his age, persistent wig whispers, and private life.
At 74, Michael has become the subject of much speculation, with his mane taking central stage. It was during Thursday's show that Patsy Palmer pressed Michael about his renowned coiffure, questioning: "Michael is there a reason that you wear that? That you wear a wig?" An unamused Michael retorted: "I just have always had long blonde hair so I just feel comfortable." Patsy's relentless enquiries continued as she prodded further: "Yeah, so not because you are bald or? .
.." to which Michael snapped back: "No not particularly no, just because I'm.
.. I don't particularly like talking about it but it's just how I want to be.
It's part of me." The interrogation caused visible discomfort for Michael concerning his tresses, yet Patsy pressed on, eager to uncover the length and original hue of his erstwhile hair. Ultimately, Michael's irritation boiled over, leading him to nominate Pasty for eviction as retaliation for her intrusive grilling.
In the Diary Room, he confessed: "I really have found it very hard but I'm going to nominate Patsy. She asked me something about 'Why do I wear a wig?' and you know, I'm not saying it is a wig, actually, but what I am saying is I found it slightly awkward being asked about it. I just don't like my hair being raised.
"People have, you know, sensitivities and that's my sensitivity. Look, we're all human. I'm more human than most.
" However, reports from Mirror Online indicate that just last Monday night, upon entering the house, Michael did divulge for the first time that his hair is indeed a wig. The romantic escapades of former Conservative MP Michael Fabricant took an unexpected turn as he openly discussed his polyamorous lifestyle on national television. Engaging in frank dialogue with Drag Race UK champion Danny Beard, the openly bisexual lawmaker didn't shy away from detailing his non-traditional romantic exploits, shocking viewers of Celebrity Big Brother with his candid admission.
In Tuesday night's episode, Michael disclosed that he has been in a committed relationship for the past 35 years, according to coverage by the Mirror. Yet, he also emphasized that this hasn't prevented him from having numerous meaningful "deep friendships" concurrently. During the start of the previous evening's programme, the septuagenarian subtly hinted at his enduring association with ex-West Midlands Mayor, Andy Street, whom he is alleged to have first encountered at an Oxford University alumni gathering.
He revealed: "I've never been in the closet", and when probed by fellow housemate JoJo Siwa about his current relationship status, he shared: "It's complicated." Michael elaborated: "I have someone I've known for 35 years who's 13 years younger than me. But I also have, and this is even more complicated, two friends and we all go on holiday separately with me or not.
" Danny directly inquired: "Would you call that an open relationship? Because I actually think a lot of gay people like that and a lot of straight people don't understand it." Michael nodded in agreement before refining his statement: "I would maybe say I've got very deep friendships. That would maybe be more tactful.
" This unexpected disclosure sent shockwaves on social media, with one viewer reacting: "Michael Fabricant has THREE boyfriends. And I can't even get one." Another echoed the sentiment: "Not Michael Fabricant being in a polyamorous relationship.
.. and with THAT hair.
...
what is going on." Michael has previously acknowledged his connection with Andy Street, describing them as "very close", yet also stating they "lead separate lives". In a 2021 interview with GB News, he referred to them as "life partners".
