And they wouldn't want him coming into the bath with them because it would make them uncomfortable what with him being a black man?
I'm disgusted to read so many people trying to justify Audley's right to feel uncomfortable around Kellie calling it "human nature" and blaming Kellie for getting upset about it.
I suspect there are many transgender people watching struggling with their identity, don't want to tune in and feel like a pariah. Just look at Google News to see two different people who have recently committed suicide while struggling with being transgender, one in Dublin one in America.
Good on the producers alerting Audley to how it can come across as upsetting to people and the people suggesting the producer should be sacked for talking to Audley are shameful.

100% agree
I think Audley should be commended on his attitude to the shock of what he's seen.
He's done a sterling job considering the pressures of living in the house and circumstances he's found himself in.
I don't understand why a few people are finding that simple, and perfectly reasonable explanation so difficult to accept
Audley has a history with Frank Malloney stretching back nearly thirty years. There are memories of experiences shared between them as two men, which we know nothing about
It is absurd to critisise Audley for not re-adjusting overnight
Damn right.You could see him trying to figure out BB in the diary room.He was thinking 'what the hell is this crap?'.>:(
No way can that be for real I mean look at it sorry him oops I mean her...
till the cows come home, but it won't change the fact that some people don't like kelllie
simply because she is not a nice person and they lack any empathy for her as a BB
contestant. If kelllie wants to be treated with PC correctness what the hell is she doing in
the BB house.
I cried with joy the night nadia won, and danced around the room when Luke won,
But the truth is I find frank unpleasant and uncomfortable to watch, and I find audley's
honesty real and genuine, not malicious or cruel, which how kelllie comes across to me.
Frank Maloney needs some therapy and Audley shouldn't feel bad for nominating the house ME ME ME ME ME ME!
What? Just what?
Yep yep
I'm sorry but that's wrong. Plain wrong. And if this was a precedent being set somewhere of actual importance, rather than a tv gameshow, it would be a particularly dangerous one.
Well if he wasn't thinking that then I certainly was !
Nadia, Luke, Kellie were all born transgender (Luke physically). All I get from other posters is the fact that as Kellie is disliked it's ok for people to make jokes of her.
I'm not quite sure what you would have made of the Nadia & Coolio incident and her later complaints, would you be of the same opinion as you are with Kellie i.e. that Nadia should not have entered the house.
If someone nominated Nadia or Luke and made one of their reasons - because they would feel uncomfortable with them in the communal bath. They should be pulled up just the same and told why it is wrong.
It's 2014 no one should be given a pass over because they need time to adjust. Regardless of how compassionate they can make themselves look in the diary room.
Audley needs to get over his problem with men or women in the same tub and stop with stupid fits like the one where he found being called Audrey really offensive to himself.
They are still the same person and won't start to come on to you/molest you in the bath just because they have changed their appearance.
Perhaps it would have been braver to spend more time with Kellie, so that time and undestanding might have a chance? Obviously that door would be closed if Audley gets his wish to evict Kellie.
Good point..... but how we do not want to face what unsettles us... Audley finally got there. How sure are we Kelly holds no prejudice.... Her attitude to other HM's appears she does not give out what she expects herself...... Like her Lesley comment.... The subtleness of blind prejudice...... Kelly does not want to be seen as 'gay'. It couldn't write itself.....
Also, this Frank/Kellie thing is a bit odd to me. I think Frank may be gay and this Kellie persona was created to avoid facing the fact that he prefers sex with men.
He better sort this shit out quick because once they cut off your willy, there's no going back.
Only if Audley had suddenly become WHITE, could you use the above as an analogy. It was the change in Frank / Kellie that Audley had to get used to - he has nothing against Kellie's gender per se.
Kellie's comments about the LGBT community very much sound to me like the US Preachers For Profit and right wing pandering Politicians who rail about the evils of homosexuality only to be outed as gay themselves.
