Tory MP Michael Fabricant made a surprising revelation during his debut on Celebrity Big Brother, opening up about his polyamorous lifestyle.
The 74-year-old former MP, known for his political career and iconic blonde hair, shocked both viewers and fellow housemates when he shared that he has been in a relationship with his partner for 35 years.

He described their relationship as open, saying he has several “deep friendships” with people he connects with on solo trips.
The confession left viewers stunned, with some expressing surprise at Fabricant’s openness about his polyamorous lifestyle.

And I can’t even get one!” Another commented, “I was not expecting Michael Fabricant to be polyamorous… what is going on?” Fans also joked about explaining the polyamorous concept to their more traditional parents, reflecting the shock and confusion the reveal caused.
