Emma Willis SLAMMED by ex-housemate over ‘anti-feminist’ remark in CBB final ‘That hurt’
Courtney Act, 36, was crowned winner of Celebrity Big Brother following a tough battle with rival Ann Widdecombe. However, it was Jess Impiazzi’s interview with Emma that riled up former housemate Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace, who lashed out at the 41-year-old over her comments about glamour models. During her chat with Jess, 28, The Voice host Emma innocently enthused: “Well done for being a glamour model who has opinions and for not taking your clothes off." The comment was slammed by Aislyene, 39, and several viewers at home, who questioned the mother-of-two’s ideas of feminism.

That hurt me. I just thought, 'That's not feminism’ Big Brother housemate Aislyene Horgan-Wallace
“Why is it good that Jess didn't take her clothes off in the house and therefore prove she wasn't a typical glamour model?” Aisleyne told The Sun. "I'm sorry but feminism for me is a woman being empowered and being exactly who she wants to be. "So for me, for example, I'm 39, and if I chose to go back into the house and walk around in a bikini in December at my big 39-years-of age - that is what I'll do." She went on to add: "And it's me being empowered and not being restrained and having to conform to what a society thinks is right or wrong.

"Emma and Rylan both said it was good because she proved she wasn't typical for keeping her clothes on. "That hurt me. I just thought, 'That's not feminism’.” Several Celebrity Big Brother viewers agreed, with one posting: “Emma speaking to Jess patronising to both Jess and all women in general.” “Not sure I liked Emma's comment about Jess keeping her clothes on.. like if she wanted to get naked then let her get naked, no judge,” tweeted another, which was followed by: “I love @jess_impiazzi but she can be a glamour model and be clever and lovely and street smart and take her clothes off and none of those things negate the other.”
