<\/a><\/p>\nShow producers have since warned Francis after her comments led to shocked reactions from all-singing all-dancing 70s girl<\/a> band legend Coleen Nolan and UK reality tv regular Jordan.<\/span><\/p>\n Oh my god, Stacy just keeps getting more hateful 🙈 “is he ok with sleeping beside a gay<\/a> boy<\/a>.” Jesus. #cbb<\/a><\/p>\n — Laura (@EcheLora) January 4, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The <\/span>Daily Mail<\/b><\/a><\/em> reports<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n While the group of housemates were enjoying a cigarette, talk turned to the sleeping arrangements, as singer and one-time sex<\/a> tape star Ray J had slept through the decision making process. <\/span><\/p>\n After stating that he did not want to sleep in a bed with Brandon Block, Stacy appeared stunned that he would shun sharing a bed with the DJ but accept sharing with openly gay<\/a> Austin. <\/span><\/p>\n She said: ‘He would sleep with the gay<\/a> boy<\/a>!? Isn’t Austin gay<\/a>?’ before a stunned James Jordan stated: ‘I’m straight… He’s gay<\/a>. That wouldn’t bother me.’<\/span><\/p>\n It seems Stacy was quick to retract her statement following Coleen and James’ reaction as she was quick to hit back: ‘I know! I’m being sarcastic. Everyone’s so serious!’<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n In a statement, producers said: “As part of standard procedures, Big Brother often reminds housemates that language in the house can raise concerns and this was discussed with Stacy.”<\/span><\/p>\n Stacy a little homophobia then what’s wrong with a straight man<\/a> sleeping in the same bed with a gay<\/a> one 🙄🙄🤔🤔 #CBB<\/a><\/p>\n — Cara (@Cara_lennon94) January 4, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n However, rabid Big Brother fans took to their pitchforks as one, baying for tv show singer blood. <\/span><\/p>\n Gay boy<\/a>?
