Celebrity Big Brother contestant Austin Armacost has said he’s “asexual” in a new interview.

Before the entering the house for its All Stars series, the ex boyfriend of Marc Jacobs revealed that he’s a “very asexual person”.

The TV personality made the revelation in an interview with fellow former Big Brother contestant Andy West.

“I am probably in all honesty the least sexual people you will ever meet,” he said.

“As much as I love getting my kit off and showing my bum everywhere, I am like a nun in bed.”

Asexual is defined as “without sexual feelings or associations.”

Many people aren’t interested in having sex or don’t feel sexual attraction to other people, loosely termed as asexuality.

Armacost added that he does have sex, but rarely.

“I don’t normally do dating apps,” he said.

“I broke down and got Grindr after my split.

“I did it because I was bored.”

However Armacost said he isn’t into hook-ups.

“I never met anyone at night,” he continued.

“Well, I met a few. But they were dates.

“I don’t do that no strings attached thing, you know ‘come on over, dump your load and go’ kinda thing.”

“I am not going to go out with someone and have sex with them,” he added.

“Even after a fourth or fifth date – that’s not what I want. I want a nice man!

“It has little to do with physicality.”
