The conversation then led - as it often does - to the topic of bathrooms, as fellow housemate Omar then asked Twinks what she would do if a ‘transgender man who became a woman walks into the girl bathroom’.

Fellow housemate Rochelle interjected to say she ‘wouldn’t be happy with a transgender in the toilet with me’, and it led to Phillip to add ‘I know what you mean’.

Those watching the scenes on air said they felt the conversation was a ‘ticking timebomb’ adding that it was an example of ‘horrible anti trans rhetoric’.

Radio presenter Dean McCullough, who appeared on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here, was one of those to respond to a clip of the conversation shared online. He posted: “Disappointed in Phillip in this conversation, as a gay man I expected better from him.”

Illustrator and author Hayden Williams also wrote: “So much ignorance relating to queerness on tonight’s episode… “ Another person said: “So disappointed in Philip tonight. As someone who's a member of a few hypothetical 'communities' he should know better. “

Former Big Brother housemate Sam Ashby, who uses they/them pronouns, also posted: “You are a gay man and you are pressed about people who call themselves they/them. Get a ******* life.”

One of the things about Big Brother is that it has always brought in people from all walks of life, and whether we like it or not these kinds of debates do sometimes end up showing the bigger picture of what’s happening in the world right now.

Nobody is really identifying as a fridge, it’s a flippant thing to say that tries to make a mockery out of people’s real situations. But we all know that these kinds of conversations happen, and perhaps more so right now.

Some have called for the show’s producers to have intervened, but I think what needs to happen from this episode is that we remember that there is a lot of discourse out there against trans people and, maybe in this case at least, stand up for them and be a bit more like Twinks.
