He took over the official Facebook page today. He was asked this...

Your a lovely man Lionel but why do you believe what lee told you??
He hasn't been truthful all through CBB, he's lying bout loads of things! How can he con an 82 year old wise man of the world??

And his response was...

I believed him at the time, but since I've been out, I've heard that it was not true. She did not say the words "let's keep it going for publicity" and I'm going to apologise to her when she comes out. - Lionel

Good for him.

Well done Lionel

Lionel and Jasmine on CBBBOTS should be interesting tonight if last night was anything to go by. He seems to have a habit of speaking first and backtracking later.

Good man Lionel fair play to you.... even though you were the biggest bitch in the house i would rather you in there

But was lee lying?

Of course he was.

He's lied so much already. Why not this..?

i'm sure Lee doesn't think it's a lie, but when you say something that isn't true it's a lie

So Casey didnt say that what Lionel said to Emma last night? so he should apologise then

Probably. He's lied so much already, and if Casey really did say that then why didn't he 'expose' her before Jasmine's eviction? He's just throwing his toys out the pram because Jasmine is out and looking for someone to blame.

Having said that, I'm still confused over Lionel saying that Casey had said to Luisa to act up because the cameras are on or something? I wonder if we'll see anything on the HL shows...

I was so dissappointed in Lionel. Casey's family must have been so upset when he came out with that rubbish last night.

Did he also apologise for saying that Casey told Louisa to keep looking at the camera He said she was all about the publicity. Really hypocritical. I loved him in the house and was delighted with the response he received from the crowd, then he goes and slags off Casey. Don't get it.

I thought Lionel came out to a brilliant display of affection from the crowd.

It was lovely to see and so what if has backtracked today.

He's 82 ffs and coped brilliantly with it all.

Hmmmm, good for Lionel... but he'll have forgotten Casey's name, and what he should apologise for by the time they next meet. Lionel does tend to flip/flop according to other people's opinion. He'll be calling Jasmine 'divine' next.

Of course he will dahlink.

Well, if he wasn't, why can't the clip be found? I think I would sooner trust Casey on this than him - he has lied several times

Not really backtracking, I'd say he says what he believes but then later has the decency to admit when he is wrong and correct his inaccuracies unlike other housemates i.e Jim pretending not to have mentioned Frank Carson's dressing room.

hahahahah@divine


did make me laugh when he kept saying cassie lol, but he is 82 so i let him off

just a shame he slagged casey of before knowing the facts

It takes a big man to say he is in the wrong...........are you listening Lee?

I think that BB are leaving this clip until Lee gets out and will let him lie and then play the clip

I'm not a big fan of him but this was a very decent thing of him to do it's not easy admitting you've done wrong...isn't that right Lee?

Thank God for that
!
Every time he kept saying it I cringed,first in the interview later on BBOTS,I wanted to throw the flipping television out the window..

..I have calmed down now

Lee Ryan truly is malicious to of started that lie regarding Casey. She has done nothing wrong at all,infact she has acted with the upmost dignity.

And I wonder what Lee will think when he comes out to see 'love of his life' cough Jasmine has sold a story on him

we have no idea what context this was done in - she could have been being sarcastic, being funny or just pointing out the camera was focussed on Luisa

I just have a feeling he won't do the show. I'm probably wrong but the way Jasmine went for him on the phone last night visibly shook him. He's an old man - he played the game in there but I don't think he'll want any part of it outside.

I know he's probably contractually obliged to do it and I'm probably wrong. I wouldn't blame him if he cried off for health reasons though.

And I thought Jasmine was 'critical' on the verge of paralysis with a twisted/slipped disc ............I thought surgery was imminent.

Boys tend to stick together. Good for Lionel saying that though after he learned differently.

Is Casey a friend of Cassie's? Casey's probably quite high up the biz pecking order.
