Now that he is evicted, it has emerged that Lee Ryan has received death threats by some members of the public who are clearly not happy with him over his Celebrity Big Brother love triangle with Casey Batchelor and Jasmine Waltz.
Right after his eviction, he was grilled by host Emma Willis whereby the singer said that although he understands he had upset some people, he thought that death threats are one step too far.
‘I’ve been getting death threats on Twitter. And I’m like what? I mean it’s no joke; my management are scared for my safety.’
‘People are saying they’re going to stab me when they see me walking down the street. People say they’re going to put an axe in my head. And I’m like, “Really, is it that bad?”
‘That’s what I’m trying to say; I’m sorry if it came across that bad, what I’ve done. I am a single person but I’m like, “Wow, that’s real”, that’s a big shock to me.’
He added: ‘I’m a complete show off. I need attention from anyone. I love to make people smile and I love to make people laugh. I wear my heart on my sleeve and I’m very honest. I say it how I think it and sometimes I don’t think before I say it.’
