Viewers were left divided by host Emma Willis after she was left with the unenviable task of interviewing Celebrity Big Brother winner Stephen Bear.

The controversial housemate was asked to answer seriously by an increasingly annoyed Emma as he refused to answer any of her questions maturely.

When asked whether he enjoyed pushing people’s buttons, Bear made repeated attempts to talk about pancakes and eggs, forcing Emma to tell him to “shut up”.

She then moved on to his relationship with housemate Chloe Khan which began while he was still with his now ex-girlfriend Lillie Lexie Gregg.

Asked if he could have waited until after the show and to have broken up with her in person, he replied belligerently: “Couldn’t you have worn a red dress? I don’t know what you’re saying.”

She was commended by some viewers for putting up with him.

Of course, Bear’s supporters disagreed.

Speaking to Rylan Clark-Neal on Bit On The Side afterwards, she explained: “I find it very infuriating when I’m asking questions, when someone isn’t giving me serious answers. I get nothing from that winner. Yes, people have voted for this person, but this is also my job.”
