You’ve probably seen Linda Papadopoulos commenting on mental health issues on the BBC News – or in one of her appearances on Big Brother, Double Cross, My Big Breasts and Me and Celebrity Fit Club.
She’s just completed a year’s study called The Sexualisation Of Young People, the results of which recommend a large number of moves that should be taken that she believes will eventually curb violence amongst young people.
Though to some more cautious folk it may seem a little soon, Katie Price has announced she’s to marry Celebrity Big Brother winner Alex Reid.
Despite (or possibly because of) the fact he’s not the brightest bulb in the window-box.
Big Brother was an innovative format when it first arrived, breaking with convention and filming gameshow contestants for 24 hours a day. As we all know, all too well. When it grew stale, they continued to run with it – but now it’s time to put it out to pasture. And, to replace it, Channel 4 have come up with two more innovative television formats!
A quiz show and a docusoap!
Groundbreaking.
Who will win?
Do the remaining five all deserve to be there? How much fake tan can one man put on his body before his skin dissolves?
Time to take a look at the final five in the final Celebrity Big Brother and weigh up their odds, as we prepare to say a fond and reportedly permanent farewell to Celebrity Big Brother.
With the Big Brother house looking more like army barracks than ever, it seems fitting that Vinnie Jones has assumed the role of Gunnery Sergeant, barking orders at his fellow residents and dominating the kitchen like a culinary tyrant.
It seems, after the defeat of Sov and the realisation that Stephen Baldwin is a big, bible-clutching wuss, that only one man can take on this self-appointed leader.
Celebrity Big Brother rolls on, with three fewer housemates than there were on Friday morning. Since then, an all girl trio of Katia Ivanova, Heidi Fleiss and – as of last night – Lady Sovereign have all been voted out. In this condensed celebrity format the nominations come thick and fast, and last night all housemates were asked to offer their two nominations live and against the clock immediately after Sov got the boot.
And finally some of the male contingent got nominated.
As it prepares for the final strait, Channel 4’s Celebrity Big Brother finds itself the subject of unlikely praise in the press and online with critics lining up to suggest the decision to make this series the last should be reversed.
And in all fairness, they may have a point. The in-mates selected this time around are a hundred times more entertaining than those in previous series – and Celebrity Big Brother has always been better value than the civilian version in which contestants are too often far too young, too brain-dead and lack self-awareness to the point they’re incapable of making decent television.
