Imogen Thomas has spoken out about the incident on social media

Big Brother star Imogen Thomas has branded the man who filmed himself urinating on a cancer patient 'vile' as she revealed she dated his brother, according to a report.

The wedding DJ Leigh Brookfield had filmed himself deliberately peeing on Peter Barton in a sickening Snapchat prank. The social media footage shows Brookfield standing next to the older gentleman while listening to Barton discuss his prostate problems caused by his cancer.

The 40-year-old performs for events around Llanelli, Wales, then says "sorry to hear that" as he deliberately sprays his back with urine. The video has prompted huge backlash since it was shared online, with some social media users blasting Brookfield for his nasty stint. Imogen Thomas, who appeared on Big Brother in 2006, revealed she was left sickened by the stomach-churning incident while branding Brookfield 'vile.'

She said: "Urinating on any person is the ultimate insult. Leigh even says him and his friends find this funny. It's unthinkable for someone to act this way. I lost my dad, auntie and uncle to cancer, I know the pain this illness causes physically and mentally. I hope the victim is mentally ok after this ordeal. I hope the police prosecute Leigh and justice will be served. What a vile, vile man!"

The DJ has since publicly apologised for the stunt and deleted his Facebook account. Posting online, Mr Brookfield said: "I'm apologising to you all regarding my actions this evening. I'm deeply sorry for those who I have offended and if I could take it all back I would. It's just something me and the boys do when we are drunk and until watching the video back I didn't realise that the nice gentleman next to me was going through health problems."

But his apology was blasted by viewers of the video with one woman saying she no longer wanted him to DJ at her engagement party. Another woman said: "It's something you and your mates do when you are drunk? So this isn't the first time you've p**** on someone?

"Even in this 'apology' you are downplaying and justifying your actions by rationalising what you did. Literally you p*** on a man when he was telling you he has prostrate cancer. It would still be abhorrent event if he didn't have cancer. The fact you've done it before and your friends do it too doesn't make it alright."

Brookfield faces being jailed after he appeared at Llanelli Magistrates' Court today, where he admitted assault by beating. He will next appear at the same court on January 19.
