Croydon controversy merchant Winston McKenzie is planning to write a book to “set the record straight” after his inglorious stint in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

On Friday the 62-year-old wannabe politician became the first to be kicked off the show after causing outrage among fellow housemates and the public with his views on homosexuality and gay adoption.

But Mr McKenzie, who started the show by stating he would “stand with my back against a brick wall all the time” if another contestant was gay, claims he was “fitted up” by TV bosses to publicly discredit him.

He said: “The way people have assumed I’m some sort of homophobe because I have an opinion, a personal one at that - it’s amazing. It’s like dealing with a load of playground bullies.

“I’m in the process of writing a book. I’ve had a good offer of writing my story to set the record straight.”

The former Ukip candidate, who is running for London mayor for the nationalist English Democrats party, declined to reveal whether the mooted book deal would be as lucrative as his appearance on Celebrity Big Brother.

But he described his TV payout, reported to have been £60,000, as “very disappointing”.

He added: “I’m sure I was fitted up by the channel. There was an overriding agenda to get rid of me because of my views...I’m hearing that the public vote for me was quite overwhelming.

“I’m the victim here. I feel victimised. They could have talked about my political career - they asked me to come on because I’m a politician of note.”

Mr McKenzie was voted off by his fellow housemates in a head-to-head with lawyer-turned-socialite, Nancy Dell’Olio.

Before the show he told this newspaper he “might not be able to control myself” in the presence of Ms Dell’Olio, claiming: “Anything is likely to happen”.

But post-eviction he appeared more reflective about the show’s romantic dynamics.

He said: “The close proximity, what with the girls coming onto you the whole time...and being a red blooded male, it makes you look like a villain.”

In another twist, it emerged last week that Mr McKenzie had been supplementing his income by working as a Croydon Guardian paper boy since last August - a role he plans to return to after the premature end to his small-screen career.

He said: “Things got so bad financially that I had to begin to help out a friend of mine delivering the paper.

“I definitely will go back to it. I get treated well, and it’s a pleasure to be doing something to keep my mind occupied. And it’s a bit of drinking money isn’t it?"
