Michael Fabricant’s wild love life from 35 years with mayor partner to First Dates show as he reveals polyamory on CBB
MICHAEL Fabricant opened up on his love life in the Celebrity Big Brother house, just one day into the new show.
The former MP was quizzed by JoJo Siwa as to whether he had someone special in his life, to which he said he had several “deep friendships.”
The 74-year-old politician has had a colourful romantic life, to say the least.
He once explained that he wasn’t going short when it came to sexual activity, telling GB News in 2021: “I get it in one form or another quite regularly, I can tell you.
“All my bits and pieces work… They haven’t fallen off through lack of use.”
Michael, who identifies as bisexual, has been on screens before, once appearing on a celeb edition of First Dates in 2017.
He said at the time that he was looking for a woman “for a bit of sex maybe.”
He revealed in an interview with the Daily Mail that he has had relationships with both men and women.
“I’m not exclusively gay [though] I have certainly done things with a bloke,” he told the paper.
Before this, a source told us a few years back that “Michael prefers to leave his love life ambiguous.”
But what is known is that the politician hasn’t been married but had a long relationship with former Mayor of the West Midlands Andy Street.
Michael and Andy met at an Oxford University reunion.
In 2014 it was reported that they shared a £300,000 Snowdonia holiday home together
But Michael has confirmed that they didn’t leave with each other full time, telling The Mail On Sunday: “Frankly, if we lived together we would murder each other!”
Michael has also denied their romantic relationship in the past, saying: “We can be friends without having him do things to my ****** or me to his, for God’s sake!
“I give Andy a hug occasionally and he stands there rigid with embarrassment.”
He has also previously said: “[Andy is] someone I can rely on in life and he can rely on me.”
Michael has also had relationships with women, including a woman he met while studying in California who ended up coming back to the UK with him.
Discussing his love life, and reasons for not marrying, Michael has said: “I have always run away from responsibilities like babies and things. It’s rather selfish actually.
“In my 30s I was abroad a lot – and I enjoy the company of blokes. I’m not exclusively gay [though] I have certainly done things with a bloke.
“All the women I was with, they wanted to get married. They wanted babies. They wanted mortgages. They wanted commitment.
“I didn’t want commitment. And then I met an American guy, and then subsequently I met Andy and we both lead, as I said just now, busy lives
“We’re there for each other. But it does mean I can get on with being, nowadays, an MP, and he can get on with being West Midlands mayor and we’re not constantly worrying about each other and all the rest of it.”
Now, the CBB star has given another rare insight into his love life while in the house.
He spoke about his “deep friendships” as well as people he goes on holidays with.
