Bradley has also spoken about coping with some of the challenges that being inside the CBB house caused, since he has autism.

"I got my brain around it quite easily," Riches said. "I blocked off three weeks, and that was my routine and I expected the unexpected. Once I was in that routine, I felt very comfortable and very open with everyone, I was on a roll."

The actor made practical adjustments for his time inside the house, including wearing earplugs on launch night so the live crowd noise wasn't overwhelming. He also spent more time outside to avoid the bright studio lights inside the house.

Celebrity Big Brother is streaming on ITVX.
