Me: To be fair Mum that's not stopped me in the past
The comedian took to Twitter yesterday to respond to the former antiques child prodigy’s claim that she slept with him back in 2006.
He wrote: ‘With respect to the ol' transgender community, I didn't have it off with the antiques kid off Wogan. My favourite media lie ever though.’
But barely knowing Lauren wouldn’t have stopped the renowned lothario. In an earlier tweet, Russell quoted his mum as saying ‘You wouldn't do it with that Lauren lady- you hardly knew him,’ to which he confessed ‘to be fair Mum that's not stopped me in the past.’
The comedian’s tweets come after it was reported the 35 year-old Celebrity Big Brother housemate had claimed the pair slept together in a hotel near the Big Brother studios after she appeared on Big Brother’s Big Mouth – which Russell was hosting at the time.
The CBB star, who has been living as a woman for 12 years, told a UK newspaper: 'I felt a surge of electricity. I had sex with Russell.'
Lauren – formerly known as James - claimed the comedian had flirted with the throughout the Big Brother spin off show but said she was nervous about him coming over to her hotel.
'I knew it would take a man with real awareness and strength to take me on,’ she said.
Lauren is the first Celebrity Big Brother contestant to be saved from eviction in tonight’s show.
