Celebrity Big Brother fans have accused some of this year’s contestants of “bulling” fellow housemate Shane Jenek.

Jenek – who is also known as drag star Courtney Act – has been at the centre of clashes with Ann Widdecombe in the Elstree house over the former Tory minister’s voting record on LGBTQ issues including gay marriage.

And, in a previous encounter, actress Amanda Barrie railed against Jenek for trying to “act as a platform for LGBT rights”, saying she had nothing against Widdecombe and that it “wasn’t all about gay rights”.

During Monday’s episode, the final nominations were revealed ahead of Tuesday night’s triple eviction and Ashley James, Jess Impiazzi, Shane Lynch, Wayne Sleep and Barrie all voted for Jenek to face the axe because of his feud with Widdecombe.

In the Diary Room, James accused Jenek of trying to “build an anti-Ann army” and fans were less than impressed with the accusations being thrown around towards Jenek, calling it “bullying”.

Taking to Twitter, one wrote: “This is turning into bullying and it's uncomfortable to watch #cbb.”

While another slammed: “Watching #CBB tonight and the way #CBBWayne #CBBAmanda #cbbashley and #CBBAnn treated #cbbshanej this evening made me feel uncomfortable and anxious, total bullying and manipulation.”

“This feels horrible, like they are bullying @courtneyact #cbb @amandabarrie11 revelling in being spiteful in her comments last night,” commented a third.

Channel 5 declined to comment when approached by the Standard Online.

Celebrity Big Brother continues weekdays at 9pm.
