Sharon Osbourne takes a swipe at Gary Goldsmith on Wednesday’s Celebrity Big Brother as she questions his true intentions of being in the house.
The millionaire businessman, 58, was one of three housemates in the ‘danger zone’ and risked being picked by Sharon, 71, as one of the star’s up for elimination.
Gary, David Potts and Zeze Millz were all given a chance to explain why they should be kept in the house as they each beg her to keep them in.
Kate Middleton‘s uncle admitted he wants the chance to change the public’s perception of him, after always being known as the ‘black sheep’ of the family.
Sharon said: ‘So, we’re going to have a nice little chat Gary. Tell me why did you accept the offer to come into the house?’
Gary said: ‘It does bother me what the public perception of me is. The black sheep of the family. I’m a normal bloke. It just so happens that my niece married Will.’
The businessman then insisted that he has no interest in being a celebrity himself.
He said: ‘If I could show people I’m not that person. I’ve really put myself out there because this isn’t my world. Ultimately, I’m not a celebrity. I don’t want to be a celebrity, I don’t want to go down that path.
But Sharon was instantly sceptical of this claim and replied: ‘Why don’t I believe you when you say that?’
Next, Sharon spoke with David, and told him: ‘When I first met you and I saw you with no trousers on, I was quite shocked.
‘And then when we got talking, I realised it’s your thing. Not that I’m a prude because I’m not. What did you feel like when you found out you were in the ring of fire?’
David confessed he ‘wasn’t shocked’ to be in the bottom three and claimed it is something that has happened a lot in his life.
He said: ‘I wasn’t shocked at all because I’ve had this quite a lot in my life. On first impressions, people are a bit like ‘woo, he’s just dying for attention’ when that is just not the case.’
Finally, Zeze headed to Sharon’s lair for a chat with her and Sharon said: ‘Zeze, I want to get to know you better.’
Zeze said: ‘I get a lot of backlash online because I say how I feel.’
Sharon said: ‘What do you hope will come from this show?’
Zeze added: ‘I think it’s more about people seeing a different side of me. People think I’m this hard-headed person.’
Sharon ultimately decided on Gary as her pick for elimination. He will be joined by others nominated by the house later in the week.
Celebrity Big Brother continues nightly at 9pm on ITV.
