Kenaley Amos-Sissons praised Cameron Cole for coming out as gay on television as she became the fourth housemate to be evicted from the Big Brother house.
Following her eviction on October 12, Amos-Sissons said that it was amazing to be there for Cole’s coming out.
“The fact that he felt like he had to share that with us, and I was one of the people, I was so grateful,” the evicted housemate told Digital Spy.

“The fact that he felt like he had to tell us that, and I was there, I just feel so happy that I was a part of that experience and there for that growth for him.”
