Hmm: Celebrity Big Brother star India Willoughby was making headlines once again as she insisted she was once abducted by aliens

India dropped the bizarre bombshell while the group were talking on the sofas, in scenes set to air on Wednesday night.

Interrupting the conversation, she declared: 'I was abducted by aliens, seriously.'

Former MP Ann Widdecombe, 70, replied scornfully: 'You were not abducted by aliens. You've got a very cynical audience but tell us.'

India claimed: 'I went to bed and I had this dream that I had actually been abducted, taken away, all sorts going on.'

Bizarre: India claimed: 'I went to bed and I had this dream that I had actually been abducted, taken away, all sorts going on'

India continued: 'And then the next day I woke up and these have never been explained - my mum spotted them - I have scars on my back.'

She then lifted up her top to show off the 'scars' as disgraced comedian Dapper Laughs looked on with an expression of mock-disbelief.

Journalist Rachel Johnson asked: 'So they were already scars the next day?'

India replied 'I'd never had them before. Nobody has ever explained them. They're like lines,' as she pointed to the faint marks on her back.

Malika Haqq seemed unconvinced, asking: 'Are those red marks from something else?'

Rachel asked if India, who had a full gender reassignment surgery in 2015 and identifies as a woman, if she'd been to a doctor or a skin specialist to get the marks checked out.

Hard to believe: India continued: 'And then the next day I woke up and these have never been explained - my mum spotted them - I have scars on my back'

India replied simply that she hadn't, adding 'I think it's martians' while Rachel, 52, replied dryly, 'It's obviously martians that's the only explanation'.

India, who is facing eviction alongside Jonny Mitchell has faced backlash this week after making a series of contentious remarks.

She was accused of racism after making a controversial comment about the Black and White Minstrels show as she explained why housemate Andrew Brady's drag performance as his alter-ego Betty Swallow had upset her.

Fans immediately took to Twitter to slam the star for the comparison - affirming the notions were 'completely different things', and claiming the blonde had 'gone too far'.

Earlier that evening, Andrew's flamboyant performance had come to a sudden end after India revealed her phobia of drag queens.

Attempting to explain her offense to the former Apprentice candidate, she claimed her phobia stems from the ridicule transgender people have received over the years - which she likened to that of the famous show.

She said: 'Transgender people have suffered over the years. There's been a lot of laughter. I know its not meant that way, and that people who perform drag don't do it intentionally. It's probably like the old days when the Black and White Minstrels put on a show, and everyone would laugh.'

Before adding: 'It was top rated show in country, but obviously black people would find that offensive. So I want to make it clear why I got upset.'

Andrew responded by explaining his performance had been an attempt to break the gender barrier that a heterosexual male such as himself cannot be comfortable being camp.

The Black and White Minstrel show ran on the BBC for twenty years from 1958, and saw its white cast perform traditional minstrel and country songs in blackface.

Despite facing controversy for portraying 'blacked-up characters' at the time, the series drew in an audience of 21 million at its peak.

It comes after India claimed sex is more pleasurable for women than it is for men, after candidly speaking about her experiences as a transgender woman.

Oh dear: She was also accused of racism after comparing a drag act to the Black and White Minstrels show

The 51-year-old said that sex was 'definitely' better as a woman, before revealing a Dalek from Doctor Who was the first to give her a 'fluttery feeling down there' following her reassignment surgery.

Recalling the moment she knew her operation was a success, she confessed: 'It was Christmas Day and it was the Doctor Who special.

'I was watching that with my tea in my lap, just eating away, and this Dalek came onscreen and weirdly I just felt this fluttery sort of twinge down there.'

Rachel then quizzed: 'You were attracted to the Dalek?'

'Almost, it was weird. It was like a really nice feeling at that point I knew things were getting better,' India confessed.
