"Zelah, a personal trainer from South London who is trans, was revealed as part of the cast for the new series of Big Brother on Sunday (28 September) along with the Scottish gamer, Nancy, bisexual Dua Lipa fan and Pizza Hut manager, Gani, queer Zumba instructor Sam, from Chipton and more. Upon his arrival in the house Zelah was declared the "winner" by many fans who instantly took to his warm personality, good looks, and charm."
"Posting on Instagram recently, King shared Zelah's promo with the above quote attached. Over it King misgendered Zelah writing, "She's right, it's not a choice, it's a MENTAL ILLNESS." King then added, "This should NOT be encouraged." As the post was shared to King's Instagram stories, which expire after 24 hours, it is no longer visible on his profile, though it was screenshotted and shared on Reddit."
"Someone else referred to him as "a c*** on the show and he's a c*** now." Another Reddit user called him a "a nasty human being," while someone else put, "he is repulsive." A more recent Instagram story post from King shows a tweet of his reading: "Why do trans-identified people make being trans-identified their whole personality? Bore off." Over that he then added on Instagram, "They can't ever tell me I'm wrong. They just scream insults.""
