For forty freakin' years.
Like the guy if he floats your boat, sure, but don't be fooled by the editing, nor by Jim's sly machinations. His past is 100% relevant because being vicious to Linda was an ongoing part of that. He was vicious to most people in private, and played the cheeky chappie in public. The main part of his comedy routine used to be impersonating a West Indian guy he called 'Chalkie'. He laid the accent on with a trowel and said the kind of racist things - very heavy - that might well get him arrested now. His entire act was about colour, religion, thick Irish, etc - offensive stereotypes. The reason he was asked to do the show was precisely because he has a 'colourful' past! Endemol gambled on him causing endless upsets, insulting the women, pandering to 'the lads', never ever washing up nor helping any other housemate in any way, to being bossy and vindictive, and to becoming very angry whenever he was contradicted. Great TV I agree. But not so great for those, women in particular, trapped 24/7 in that house with him.
He never appears on TV now as a comedian, nor indeed as anything else. He is considered too toxic. He jumped at the chance to do CBB. In fact he agreed last year but the three sexual assault accusations - made by women who live in different parts of the UK, and who have never met - put a stop to that. He's in the CBB house in the hope of bigging up his profile and getting some work - he'll sell countless lurid tales to the newspapers. Just wait and see. He did that before and he'll do it again.
And thanks to his dishonesty and cruelty he will probably win. I truly hope not.
BTW I could better understand you all laying into Lee. He's a real piece of work! Not in the misogynistic 'Jim' manner, but in that 'a port in every girl' way.”

But I think it is more likely that he just wants to have a pleasant time and emerge as a good guy in the public eye, than that he actively wants to be malicious to people.
