CELEBRITY Big Brother’s Paul Danan was the butt of viewers’ jokes tonight when he severely over-inflated the number of people the show.

The 39-year-old had stormed into the Diary Room to rant about Sarah Harding and Chad Johnson kissing, but fans were more distracted by the fact that he believes there are 8.4 million people tuning in.

Paul said to CBB: "She kissed him, in the kitchen, in front of the cameras. I thought she’d be a little bit more tactful, that she wouldn’t be so blatant…

"That's rubbing it in her boyfriend's face, snogging a guy in front of 8.4million people."

Now either someone’s been telling tales to Paul or he needs a maths lesson, as on average the show gets 800k viewers, with 1.8 million tuning into the launch night and 1.1 million watching Karthik get the boot on Friday.

And obviously Twitter wasn’t going to let him get away with this one.

One person tweeted: "Who's been lying to Paul about the amount of viewers gets LOL, so embarrassing."

Another joked: “Paul Danan must be on drugs in that Big Brother house... if he thinks 8.4 million people are watching!! @channel5_tv Wishes #CBB”

 He was criticising Chad and Sarah's blossoming romance at the time
