A FURIOUS food fight sparked an evacuation of the Celebrity Big Brother house when Stephen Bear pushed housemate James Whale too far.<\/p>\n

TV and radio legend James, 72, insists he knew the reality star was "trouble" years before he was jailed for sex offences. <\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

Bear is currently in prison for recording and leaking a sex tape of his ex Georgia Harrison without consent.<\/p>\n

Now James has lifted the lid on what it was like to live with Bear back in 2016 in an exclusive interview with The Sun.<\/p>\n

"He was there to win and to get everyone going," said James.<\/p>\n

"He convinced me what he was doing in there was all a bit of an act and he intended to continue it on the outside.<\/p>\n

"Bear was trouble – both inside and outside of the House."<\/p>\n

James famously tipped a jar of coffee granules over Bear's head as he bravely stood up to the now-disgraced TV star on the show.<\/p>\n

Bear and his accomplice Heavy D – who died in 2020 – were winding up James by touching his head, laughing loudly and making faces behind his back.<\/p>\n

Refusing to take it lying down, James kicked off a food fight, which eventually led to a pan of bacon catching fire and the housemates being evacuated to the garden.<\/p>\n

"He was notorious then and now," says James, who's relaunching his TalkTV show on Saturday at 7pm.<\/p>\n

"They were standing behind me taking the p*** and it was annoying me. <\/p>\n

"I've always been one of those people who, if someone wants to bully you, I wouldn't complain – I would just turn round and slap them.<\/p>\n

"I was just about to turn around and smack him, but thought better of it.<\/p>\n

"Instead I picked up my tin of ground coffee and tipped it all over his head."<\/p>\n

Bear went on to ultimately win the series before his career ended in disgrace last year.<\/p>\n

James added: "I didn't see or hear of him again until he ended up on the news."<\/p>\n

James ended up staying for 23 days, narrowly missing out on a place in the final of Channel 5's show in 2016.<\/p>\n

The terminally-ill presenter, who was diagnosed with stage four cancer in 2020, is planning to deliver his outspoken opinions about Big Brother when he relaunches his TalkTV show on Saturday.<\/p>\n

"I will probably be very rude about Big Brother on my show this Saturday," admits James.<\/p>\n
