Lewis Bloor’s brother wants him to "swerve" Stephen Bear.
James Bloor admits he has been "screaming" at the television in frustration as he fears his younger sibling’s place in the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house will be in jeopardy because of his friendship with the trouble-causing contestant.
James said: "I find myself screaming at the TV – I want to tell Lewis to swerve him.
"Bear went straight to Chloe and took the p**s out of him over the eyelashes thing and said he’d never trust him. It’s not fair. Lewis has stuck up for Bear so much, he’s almost sacrificed himself."
And James is confident Lewis’ romance with ‘Geordie Shore’ star Marnie Simpson will last outside the house.
He said: "They’ll give it a go. Marnie is cool and relaxed and can be your best mate, but she can also be classy and elegant. That’s what he’s after. She ticks all the boxes.
"You can’t fake something like that, especially on something as intense as ‘CBB’. You can tell it’s real by the way they look at each other.
"The people that know Lewis and Marnie know the truth as it’s written all over their faces."
Despite speculation, James insists the couple would never have sex in the house because Lewis is too respectful of their families watching at home.
He told new! magazine: "I don’t think he would [have sex in the house], because he knows Marnie’s parents will be watching and he likes to have that respect. And our mum too!"
