'Celebrity Big Brother': Stephen Bear Slammed For 'Sexist' Row Over Marnie Simpson

'Does the girl you're kissing get a say in this or...?'

‘Celebrity Big Brother’ viewers have once again blasted the show, this time over a row between Stephen Bear and Lewis Bloor, with Marnie Simpson at the centre of it all.

In Tuesday’s (2 August) episode of ‘CBB’, a drunken Bear criticised Lewis and Marnie’s close relationship, when the two were shown sharing their first snog in the house.

Bear even went as far as suggesting he could snog Marnie “if he wanted to”, arguing that Lewis hadn’t “called dibs” on the ‘Geordie Shore’ cast member.

While Lewis initially defended Marnie - insisting it was her choice to kiss whoever she wanted in the house - Bear eventually pushed him to his limit, and the former ‘TOWIE’ hunk shouted: “I did fucking call dibs on Marnie.”

‘CBB’ viewers were quick to blast the incident on Twitter, insisting that the pair’s attitude towards Marnie was “sexist”:

There's some seriously sexist behaviour happening in #CBB. Marnie sitting there while they say 'I'll kiss her if I want' and 'I have dibs'

... like, does she get any choice in the matter either way? Or is she just a piece of meat for them to pee in a circle around and claim?

Strongly dislike the creepy sexist laddish culture in the #cbb house. Seriously uncomfortable.

Thought Marnie would tell Bear its offensive to think he can kiss her without permission. Instead she said it's offensive to Lewis! #cbb

'If I wanna kiss someone I will' So does the girl you're kissing get a say in this Bear, or...? #CBB

Bear clearly thinks women have no say in his advances. Worrying #CBB

Seems like Bear and Lewis have taken sexism back to the 70s, and the likes of Marnie let it happen. Thick and disrespectful. #cbb

I don't think I'm going to be able to watch #cbb until Bear is gone. He's not even the entertaining type of dickhead. He's just horrid.

Lewis: prick Bear: tool. And what's most offensive is them taking 'dibs' on Marnie?! It's not like claiming the top bunk lads! #cbb

When Heavy D became involved in the row - to which Lewis accused him of just being put out that he was rejected by Chloe Khan - he insisted he referred to her as “that”, prompting further backlash (warning: strong language).

Heavy D describing Chloe as "that" was absolutely disgusting behaviour. Really felt for her #cbb #cbbuk

Calling dibs on girls is quite literally the most sexist horrible thing I have ever heard. I wish bear and heavy d would just fuck off! #CBB

Guys in the #CBB house this year proving that sexism is alive and well.. #CBBLewis #CBBBear

Bear and Heavy D sexist misogynistic cunts. Uncomfortable viewing and highly disrespectful @bbuk @CBBLiveNews #CBB

This is far from the first time that ‘CBB’ viewers have been critical of the current crop of housemates’ behaviour, with some fans calling for Marnie to be removed earlier this week, over an incident when she flashed her breasts at fellow contestant Saira Khan.

Christopher Biggins and Renee Graziano also ruffled feathers with comments they made about bisexual people, for which neither of them were reprimanded by bosses.

‘CBB’ airs nightly on Channel 5.
