Former Celebrity Big Brother contestant Austin Armacost has been dragged for posting a supposedly “brave selfie”.

The ex-boyfriend of Marc Jacobs shared a snap of himself on the edge of a boat, writing that he was proud of his body, despite it not being perfect.

However followers were quick to point out his body was hardly unattractive – slamming claims he had been brave.

Posting the pic, he wrote: “This is my body. No 6 pack, no bulging biceps, & a little chubby BUT I LOVE my body. Don’t like it, unfollow”

He added the hashtags “#FuckTheHaters #Happy”.

Austin previously claimed he is “asexual”.

The TV personality said: “I am probably in all honesty the least sexual people you will ever meet,” he said.

“As much as I love getting my kit off and showing my bum everywhere, I am like a nun in bed.”

Asexual is defined as “without sexual feelings or associations.”

Many people arenā€™t interested in having sex or donā€™t feel sexual attraction to other people, loosely termed as asexuality.

The PinkNews guide to asexuality explains more.

Armacost added that he does have sex, but rarely, however.
