I wonder how much longer it can go on Mickster?
I think the contract with C5 has 2years left currently .The production and length of series was cut back to reduce costs .However , while ever there is a market (audience) for the show and brings in tv ad revenue I believe BB will continue .
For the record (if you didn't know already) , BB is where Billi Bhati came into the public spotlight first .Unless you count his (blink and miss him) part in one of Jamelia's pop videos .He also (being an ex-housemate) appeared on BB spin off show panel ,while Alex Adams was in the audience a few years ago .
Think Billi lasted a fortnight in the house if I remember correctly .He was a mid-series addition ,with the brief from BB to try and be Ziggy's "love rival" for the affections of one Channel Hayes the Posh Spice vague lookalike .He failed miserabley !
Also if you didn't know already ; Channel Hayes went to the same school as one B.S.legend - Hannah Claydon , whom she slagged off in her magazine interviews after walking out on BB .
It's a small world isn't it ?, this z-list life .
Just as a footnote to the Billi Bhati theme .He also made a series for the porn tv channel TVX , "starring various former BB contestants ,including one Rebbecca (Bex) Shiner .The ex-housemates only watched various scenes unfold before them though .Ironicaly ,the male lead role was performed by one Johnny Cockfill of web-cam fame .Who then entered the BB house last year under his real name of Benedict .He also only lasted a fortnight as well .
As I said before ; it's a small world isn't it ,this z-list life ?
lol Thanks for the BB crash course Mickster. Having abandoned it very early on, I didn't know that's where Billi and Bex came from originally.
Aah, so they're actually Z listers?
I think I over-estimated BB folk previously then, by referring to them as C listers in an earlier post! Just shows you what a nice person I am really
Just looked up that club and it appears to be another Sugar Hut or whatever it's called from TOWIE, full of overly made up wannabe totty being chased by flash Essex/Kent building site labourers out for a shag. Not exactly West End quality, but if you live in Maidstone, then I spose you need somewhere to go on a Saturday night. Not what I'd call moving up in the world
Expect they'll all be back at the checkout Monday morning
Am I having a senior moment or have a couple of further posts after this disappeared?
The grandkids will love them
Still, she sure knew how to tease on that show
