Big Brother's Lewis Flanagan says other housemates used the 'N word' but weren't punished

The 28-year-old, who was removed from the house for doing an impression of Hitler and saying "kill the Jews," believes he was “fed to the lions” after Channel 5 producers refused to give him an exit interview.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun Lewis says he deserved to have his say just as much as Roxanne Pallet did after she wrongly accused Ryan Thomas of punching her.

Lewis said: “The impression I did was taken out of context – the way I’ve been treated has been ridiculous. Channel 5 made me look like the villain of the episode.

“People in there had said the N word – Hussain was walking around saying ‘Jesus Christ’ when he isn’t Christian, he’s Muslim. I honestly do not think it was fair.”

“It sucks I didn’t get an exit interview or interview with Rylan. It feels like I’ve been fed to the lions.


“Roxanne got an interview and what she did was pretty terrible. All I did was mock Hitler and how crazy he was and the fact he wanted to wipe out a whole race of people."

Lewis was one of Big Brother's last ever contestants after the long-running series came to an end this year.

And the former housemate believes his storyline was concocted by producers to boost ratings in one final bid for the show to be a success.

He said: "For me to just have been kicked out over that comment – it was ridiculous the way they left me out to dry and took it out of context.

"It all seemed a bit like I was used to create press and ratings for the show and now I’m back living my life having to deal with it.

Lewis has revealed he applied for the show to conquer his mental health issues.

But his appearance on TV has left him in an even worse state after he suffered panic attacks in the house, as well as receiving death threats online following his shock exit.

He said: “I didn’t go on Big Brother for the fame or the blue tick I went on there to tackle my mental health issues and my anxiety.

“But since leaving the house in the way I did it’s been very tough for me. I’ve had death threats, people telling me to kill myself.

“I didn’t enjoy the experience of being in the house, I hated it – I went there for the challenge but I broke, I had panic attacks, I wanted to leave, it was horrible for me.”
