CELEBRITY Big Brother star Patsy Palmer left her housemate Michael Fabricant fuming after she grilled him about his fake hair.

EastEnders icon Patsy, 52, approached 74-year-old Michael in the kitchen and asked him why he "wears a wig."

But the exchanged quickly turned awkward, as Michael remained coy about his hair and refused to give Patsy a straight answer.

He did, however, insist his hair isn't "ginger" in colour.

Later, Michael made his feelings known about Patsy's light-hearted question during the first round of nominations.

Taking revenge, he nominated the actress for asking him about his hair.

Michael told Big Brother: "I really have found this very hard but I'm going to nominate Patsy. 

"She asked me something about 'why do I wear a wig' and you know, I'm not saying it is a wig, actually, but what I am saying is I found it slightly awkward being asked about it.

"I just don't like my hair being raised. 

"People have, you know, sensitivities and that's my sensitivity. Look, we're all human. I'm more human than most."

The feud was sparked when Patsy sipped on a hot drink and asked the reason behind Michael's hair.

"Michael is there a reason that you wear that? That you wear a wig?" she asked.

CBB viewers left 'traumatised' as housemate flashes his BUM - leaving them ranting 'my eyes!'

Michael replied: "I just have always had long blonde hair so I just feel comfortable."

Patsy continued: "Yeah, so not because you are bald or...?"

Michael told her: "No not particularly no. Just because I'm... I don't particularly like talking about it but it's just how I want to be. It's part of me."

The former MP for Lichfield in Staffordshire, was visibly riled, especially when natural red-head Patsy asked if he had always been "ginger".
