Verne Troyer's kiss controversy
Wednesday, 21 January 2009
Verne Troyer caused controversy on 'Celebrity Big Brother' after French kissing a doll.
The 40-year-old actor gave the toy a passionate kiss in a scene from a movie the contestants made about their time in the house, pretending the doll was former Sugababes singer Mutya Buena, who quit the show last week.

Verne - director of the task - told the toy: "Hey Mutya, I know you want to leave, but before you go can you just save a spot in bed for me and I'll give you some special loving.
"We don't have to tell anyone else. Do you want to ride my scooter?"
However, viewers blasted the scene, which was shown on last night's (20.01.09) highlights programme.
One told The Sun newspaper: "It's sick. Men of Verne's age should not be snogging babies on TV - real or not real. The producers should have said something to Verne but it was not taken seriously at all."
A Channel 4 spokesperson insisted the scene was harmless.
They said: "Verne was re-enacting the party where he was flirting with Mutya and the other girls."
Two housemates will be evicted from the show tonight (21.01.09) ahead of the final on Friday (23.01.09).
