Verne Troyer: 'I lied to BB producers'

The Austin Powers actor admitted that the show's bosses gave him special treatment because he made up a story before joining the programme in January.
Troyer told Celebs On Sunday: "My favourite thing was I told the producers I have eyes that are hyper-sensitive to the light and have to wear sunglasses indoors. It's not true. But I got away with it.
"So most of the time, when I was on the couch with everyone else, I was fast asleep but no-one knew."
On how he felt about coming fourth in the contest, he commented: "There was all this hype saying I'd win, but I didn't mind that I didn't. And I loved Davina McCall."
Troyer is currently promoting his new movie The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
