So what scandal saw Skye booted from a second shot on Big Brother?

Two weeks before filming, Skye did an Instagram Q&A on her Story where she answered a question about her longtime partner Lachlan Waugh that rubbed her fans the wrong way. 

Skye and Lachlan, who share two sons, Forest, five, and Bear, three, have been together for eight years.

When asked by a fan who was dominant in the bedroom, Skye replied that if she was in the mood, she ‘wasn’t going to take ‘no’ for an answer’, adding that her partner actually liked it when she was the one who initiated sex.

However, the comment received fierce backlash online, with many up in arms over the fact that she was ‘making’ her boyfriend have non-consensual sex. 

At the time, Skye slammed her fans for ‘twisting’ her words and ended up issuing an apology.

However, the throwaway comment saw her lose the deal with Channel 10 and a shot at a second time around on the popular reality series.

Reflecting on the scandal, Skye said that the moment left her ‘heartbroken’ and devastated, with her mum even admitting that she lost her sparkle after the opportunity fell through.

She added that the network never disclosed why they decided to cut her at the last minute, however she did get a tip-off about a contributing factor.

‘Get this, after I’m A Celeb (I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here), Ben Morris interviewed me and he said that apparently Tim Dormer, which was another Big Brother guy who was going in the house that year…’ she said.

‘Apparently he said, “if you put Skye in the house, I’m not doing it.”

‘So they obviously chose him,’ she revealed. 

Wheatley recently made a surprising admission about her sexuality.

The former reality star confessed she may be ‘pansexual’ and would have explored that side of herself more if she had never started dating Lachlan.

Skye agreed, revealing she learned about pansexuality while watching the Stan reality TV show, Love Triangle.

‘I didn’t know what pansexuality was until watching this show,’ she said.

‘But basically you are attracted to the person’s personality, not what sex they are… you could be attracted to anyone, but you’re attracted to their personality.’
