Big Brother housemate Philip Regan has stayed out of the public eye since leaving the ITV show last
Controversial Big Brother star Philip Regan has spoken out for the first time since his eviction.
The 53-year-old content creator has been missing from the public eye since he was evicted from the reality show last week. He even missed a customary appearance on Big Brother’s spin-off show, The Group Chat. Philip was also absent from the live final and upcoming reunion episode.
The former housemate has now revealed the real reason for his absences, explaining that his family suffered a devastating loss. Posting an image alongside a family member, Philip wrote on Instagram: “I would like to take a moment to personally apologise to everyone for not being able to attend the Big Brother Group Chat or Reunion.
“Unfortunately, due to a death in my family, we have been dealing with a very difficult and emotional time. Family comes first, and I needed to take a step back from everything to be with my loved ones and deal with this personal loss.”
The caption continued: “I hope you all understand that this was not a decision taken lightly and I am truly sorry. I want to thank everyone who has continued to support me and your kindness has been greatly appreciated. Please respect my family’s privacy during this difficult time. Sending love to you all. Queen Of Scotty Road.”
