Reality TV star Austin Armacost has entered the UK Celebrity Big Brother house – and claims he will “redeem” American gay men on the show.

The former model and ex-boyfriend of designer Marc Jacobs was one of a line-up of ‘celebrities’ who entered the reality show last night – though most of the line-up will leave you scratching your heads.

Armacost, who appeared on ‘The A-List: New York’, was one of the lesser-known names to join the show’s sixteenth series, which is themed ‘UK vs US’.

He also slammed the antics of out gossip columnist Perez Hilton, whose appearance on the show previously and led to a deluge of complaints.

He said: “I have no problem saying what I think. I just do it in a less bitchy way than Perez.

“I respected him because he was very open and honest with what he had to say. I was at dinner on Monday with Chloe Goodman who was in the house with Perez and she told me it was just unimaginable hell living with him. No one would ever say it was unimaginable hell living with Austin.”

He added: “I have come to redeem gay American men and America as a whole. Speidi were a disaster too.

“I didn’t see their season but I hate them as everyone in America does. I have come to redeem the tarnished brush that Perez has painted us all with.”

Armacost was booed during last night’s live show after claiming he would masturbate in the house.

He said: “I like to masturbate… can I have a w**k in the house?”
