Former Big Brother contestant Lotan Carter has said he was physically injured by a woman during a strip show.
The stripper told ITV’s This Morning that both guys and girls have acted inappropriately with him when he’s been performing – but one woman took it to the extreme by biting his penis.
“They think because you do what you do they have the right to handle you in a way that isn’t really very nice,” he said.
“I had someone bite me. They didn’t try, their attempt was successful.”

“I got down to a towel wrapped around my waist and took my underwear off,” he explained.
“Then I stood in front of the audience. The idea is for the audience, it looks like you’re wrapping a towel around their head and they are seeing everything. They’re not. There is a way of doing it where there is something in between. But she bit me [on my penis].”
Lotan recalled another incident where a woman left him bleeding and cut short his performance.
“There was a part of a routine where a woman was standing behind me and I rub her hands [down my chest]. She scratched and I said, ‘Please don’t do that, it’s a bit hard.’ I did it again. She scratched even harder.
“So I took a step forward. As I did, she literally scratched my back to the point I felt blood trickle down my back. I had to walk off stage because you can’t lose your head in front of the audience or stuff like that.”
Lotan also said he once had a man come on stage who was much larger than him.
“He put his hand down the back of my hot pants and put his hand on my bottom,” said Lotan.
When asked why he continued to strip given his experiences, Lotan replied: “I shouldn’t feel like I shouldn’t do what I love doing. The strip show I worked for prior was amazing. They are all professional dancers. The production was amazing. They spent a lot of time and money on it.
“It was absolutely amazing and I loved my job and loved performing.”
Lotan was on the daytime show to talk about his experience as a male stripper, following headlines that a free stripping event for Mother’s Day in Middlesbrough ended in chaos when the women brawled in the street.
