Celebrity Big Brother housemate Jeremy McConnell was never Mr.Ireland.
They say the truth will set you free but in Jeremy's case he's still locked in the CBB House! The organisers of the Mr and Miss Ireland competitions have denied the reality star ever held the title.
They told RSVP magazine: "Jeremy never held the title of Mr Ireland or represented Ireland at any event. He was a finalist in late 2012 which saw Mr Limerick Leo Delaney win the title and represent Ireland at Mr World 2013. Leo placed a very impressive 1st runner up at the event."
This doesn't add up, isn't everyone in the house supposedly a "celeb" of some sort and who is responsible for doing the background checks on the z-listers entering the house?!
The plot thickens as Jeremy's people have now spoken out about the furore saying they never said he was a title holder. Jeremy's representative told The Star: "Jeremy has never claimed to be Mr Ireland! As far as I am aware he did win Mr Dublin and was a finalist in Mr Ireland, maybe that’s where the confusion has arisen but certainly not from any claim Jeremy has made."
Oh the shame!
CBB bosses have previously been criticised for lack of background checking after failing to discover Nazi-defending comments made by Tila Tequila before she entered the house last series.
