Celebrity Big Brother’s Ann Widdecombe repeatedly misgenders India Willoughby and says ‘I think of her as him’

ANN Widdecombe has misgendered India Willoughby again in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

The former politician shocked viewers during last night's show when she called the transgender newsreader "he" to her face as they chatted.

While India, 51, corrected her, Ann was seen making the same mistake again during an exclusive clip on spin off show, Bit on the Side.

The 70-year-old was in the kitchen with Rachel Johnson who told her India had cleared up all the dishes the night before.

Boris' sister was the first to misgender India, saying: "I think he did everything".

Ashley James, who had joined the two women by this point, quickly corrected her by saying "she".

Stopping dead in her tracks, Rachel looked mortified and said: "I can't believe I just did that."

But Ann chipped in: "I've done that."

Ashley, 30, replied: "I've noticed that you've both said it."

Ann conceded: "I did it yesterday".

Rachel made the mistake again, asking: "Not with him in the room?"

And Ann quickly followed suit, saying: "At least thank God you haven't done it with him..er her."

Realising her mistake, she said: "I can't cope, I can't cope."

Looking exasperated, Ashley said: "Her! Both of you! I really think of her as her."

But trying to defend herself, Ann replied: "It's our generation. I do think of her that way."

Wanting to clarify, Ashley asked: "You do think of her as he?" and Ann replied she did.

She added: "Therefore I'm watching myself the whole time and then yesterday I slipped up."

Trying to educate the two women, Ashley said: "I think you just need to be sensitive to understand that she has always felt a she.

"So imagine even if she was very graceful about it, it must sting."

Ann replied: "I'm sure it did you know, it wasn't intentional."

After a moment's silence, Rachel - who is only a year older than India - said: "We're going to be the house dinosaurs from now on."

Ann replied: "We are the dinosaurs."
