Jonty dumps spanking for museum career

Jonty Stern has revealed that he turned down genuine offers from sex fetish companies to pursue his career as a museum tour guide.

The spanking enthusiast told DS that he contemplated the prospect of becoming a figurehead for the companies but was warned against it by his agent and family members.

The Big Brother finalist said: "Having spoken to an uncle of mine who is in showbiz himself and knows about these things, and my agent, they warned me that whatever you do in the first few months after you leave these things defines who you are.

"If you do that sort of thing you will never be taken seriously as a history TV presenter, or whatever it is you want to be."

Stern commented: "I got an offer from someone that was genuine and I did think it through. Then I thought, no.

"If I get in the position where that's the only thing I can do for the next 30 years or whatever, and I'm not taken seriously, then what actually might seem like very exciting stuff to start with might get very boring, very quickly and might limit what I can do."

The reality TV star is hosting a special one-off event at The Museum Of London on November 1, which is free of charge to visitors. The three-hour tour will begin at 6pm.

Stern revealed that previous Big Brother stars including Kinga, Kemal, Eugene and Gerry would be in attendance at the event.

Talking about the tour, he added: "It's a chance to show people what I do when I'm not doing stuff on TV."
