    The former editor of The Lady magazine also shared her thoughts about housemate Ann Widdecombe, 70, who she described as a misogynist to Rylan Clark-Neal on Celebrity Big Brother’s Bit On The Side.

    “Ann was a great addition to the house as she’s highly intelligent, extremely forceful and she doesn’t budge from her position.

    “The problem with Ann is her positions just aren’t very appropriate to the current age, but she would be the first to defend them to the hilt and I respect her convictions but I don’t agree with any of them.”

      “Don’t forget Ann did Strictly and she does pantomimes and she is very good at mugging to the cameras – so if you actually watch her 24/7 as I have for two and a half weeks, you will see her doing reaction shots every time something happens.”

      Rachel also said that Ann would get her vote to be the next celebrity housemate to be booted out of the house, “because she doesn’t really like women and makes no secret of the fact that she prefers the company of men.”

      She added: “She would be quite a controversial winner but in the same respect, stranger things have happened – it could be another Trump or Brexit.”
