Coleen Nolan has been branded a "perv" and a "weirdo" on Twitter this week after admitting she listened to a voicemail of her son having sex.
As much as I don't advocate people abusing celebrities over the internet for the hell of it, I think she's got off lightly. Can you honestly imagine the reaction to a well-known male daytime TV presenter...say Alan Titchmarsh (or Brucey, if you like) proudly admitting to having listened to his daughter or son having sex? I think it's fair to say they'd never recover from it.
Here's another example of what I'm talking about.
Ken Morley (Reg Holdsworth) was rightfully removed from the Big Brother house this week, partly for making various inappropriate sexual remarks.
One of the housemates most offended by his comments was a girl called Cami, who within three minutes of entering the house had described the moment she saw a picture of her boyfriend's penis and how she couldn't wait to sit on it.
Is it fair to say that men have to be more careful than women so as to avoid being labelled a dirty bastard?
