R'n'B star Alexander O'Neal said he might recommend Big Brother to "some enemies" but has also said he was "honoured" to be in the presence of Katie Price.

The singer's shock departure from the Big Brother house came on the heels of another heated row with celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.

The 61-year-old said the stress of being in the famous house "became unbearable".

In his first interview since leaving the house, O'Neal told host Emma Willis: "I did it for myself and for my housemates."

Speaking about Hilton, he said: "He taunts you."

Willis asked if Price entering the house had changed it and he said: "Definitely, it changed everything."
