Hardeep Singh Kohli becomes tearful after a discussion about “bunion-gate” on Celebrity Big Brother.

The presenter upset housemates Sally Morgan and Ryan Thomas when he commented on psychic Morgan’s feet.

But in a clip shared ahead of Wednesday night’s episode of the Channel 5 show, he said in the Diary Room that he’d had no idea talk of a bunion would spark a row.

“I can’t see how she would have been offended by it,” he said.

“Bunions? I never thought.

“I never thought I’d be in the Diary Room discussing somebody’s bunion and the social protocol of how to deal with bunions.”

Singh Kohli, who has survived eviction several times, told Big Brother he actually preferred speaking in the Diary Room to chatting with his fellow contestants.

“It would just be so much fun if you guys were in here. I like talking to you a great deal more,” he said.

“I speak to Nick [Leeson] a lot and Nick listens and he is quite circumspect.

“The rest of them, I can’t really.

“I mean, you can’t have a conversation with Gabby [Allen] because it has to be less than a minute long and there can’t be long words in it.

“This is where the meaningful conversations are taking place for me.”

Celebrity Big Brother is on Channel 5 at 9pm.
