According to What's On TV magazine, Michael Parkinson has called Celebrity Big Brother a "freak show" and said the famous housemates deserved everything they got. He criticised the celebrities for agreeing to take part in the show.
Next week, he is hosting BBC1's 2001 TV Moments and the episode where Vanessa Feltz opened her heart to fellow housemate Jack Dee and broke down in tears in front of the camera, has been nominated. He said that Jack Dee's interview technique was brilliant, but on the whole, he doesn't like shows like Big Brother and you won't find him within 30,000 miles of one.
He said "They're freak shows and people who agree to go on them, deserve everything they get. Yes, one or two of the people who did Celebrity Big Brother genuinely wanted to raise money for charity, but some of them had another agenda.
"I think shows like that go beyond entertainment as they don't respect people's privacy."
