Mark Oaten and wife turned down Celebrity Big Brother

Apparently, Mark Oaten, the married Lib Dem MP who got caught having an affair with a rent boy, turned down an offer for him and his wife Belinda to appear on Celebrity Big Brother because he was afraid of becoming a laughing stock, or him and his wife becoming the next Hamiltons (so he's told his local press anyway).

I think, in fairness to Mark Oaten, he actually made a laughing stock of himself when he claimed that going bald made him want gay sex. I wonder if they would've made him wear a cat suit too?
