I have never heard if Frank McAvennie and after his remarks hear I know why.
CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER: I'D JUMP IN THE JACUZZI WITH TOPLESS BRIGITTE
By Frank Mcavennie Our Bb Correspondent
FRANK McAVENNIE lost out on a £30,000 pay day when Celebrity Big Brother pulled the plug on him being a housemate.
The former Scotland, Celtic and West Ham star admits he has big regrets but not about the money - he's disappointed he won't be sharing a jacuzzi with busty blondes Caprice and Brigitte Nielsen.
Frank, 45, groaned: 'That should have been me!'
But today Frank has landed another job - as our official Big Brother correspondent.
He reveals, right, who he thinks is likely to be a hit with viewers... and who will be first for the boot.
And Frank admits he has been hooked by the celebrities' antics - especially Brigitte and Caprice frolicking in the spa bath on their first night in the house.
He said: 'I couldn't believe Brigitte got her kit off so quickly.
'I was mad because every time Brigitte went to show her boobs the camera moved away. Is that what they mean about Big Brother being evil?
'I couldn't stop laughing when Bez jumped in wearing his boxer shorts because it's exactly what I'd have done.'
Frank thought he was guaranteed a place in the house after meeting producers but the offer disappeared.
He said: 'I'd heard Caprice is getting paid over £100,000 to take part but the others had been offered about £30,000.
'Maybe that's why people have dropped out. I'm sure model Victoria Silvstedt pulled out because she was disappointed I wouldn't be there.'
#Odds to win supplied by William Hill.
BEZ DEFINITELY my favourite to win. He's got a brilliant personality - he's nuts.
I love the fact he's in there to get the money to buy a new car and he cracked open the wine as soon as he arrived. I think I would have got on well with him.
Bez's only problem might be that he's a bit hyper but that might change after a few days detox.
Odds: 9/2
GERMAINE SHE'S the only one I wouldn't get on with. Who is she, anyway? She looks like someone's mum.
She said she was worried she might pull one of the housemates. Can you imagine it?
I hear she's a feminist professor. Very good. But if she got into the jacuzzi with Brigitte and Caprice, I'd switch off the telly.
She's my bet for the first to be evicted.
Odds: 7/1
JOHN I'D love to be there so he could teach me the sign language bookies use at racecourses. I reckon I could have learned a lot from him in two weeks.
I think his behaviour is all an act but it's a good act and he'll do alright. He's pretending he wants to be voted out, which means he wants to stay. I could see him having a bit of a set-to with Brigitte.
Odds: 12/1
BRIGITTE
SHE terrifies me but makes the programme worth watching.
She's not my type at all - far too scary - but she's totally crazy and she's going to be good fun.
I don't know why she keeps doing that stupid wee move with pretend guns. It's embarrassing.
But she's got an opinion on everything and I think she'll clash with Germaine, which will be good for a laugh. Odds: 16/1
JEREMY
I ONLY know his face because I saw pictures of him when he was with Rachel Stevens.
He'll be popular with the ladies 'cos he's a bit of a glamour boy and he says he's a practical joker.
The only potential for any love action at all is between him and Caprice. So I don't think he'll win it but he won't be one of the first out either. Odds: 9/4
LISA ALL I know about her is that she got sacked from Radio 1 for partying too hard and failing to turn up for her show - that's a good effort in my book.
I missed training a couple of times myself when I lived in London so she's a girl after my own heart.
If she relaxes and lets the party girl come out, she'll survive a few evictions. Odds: 25/1
KENZIE
I LIKE him a lot. He reminds me of wee Joe Miller, right, who I played with at Celtic.
He's got the kind of face that make women want to mother him.
Brigitte wants to look after him but I think he'd probably prefer Caprice. The others made him do a bit of dancing on the first night and it looked a bit like Jonathan Watson impersonating me.
I would have taken him under my wing as he's a good lad and he's enjoying every minute. I predict he'll be in the top three.
Odds: 13/8
CAPRICE
#DEFINITELY going to be in 'til the end... and thank God for that. She is so fit. When she got into the jacuzzi there wasn't an ounce of her hanging the wrong way.
Brigitte stripped off and got in first so Caprice wasn't going to let her get all the attention to herself.
If they both decide to do that every night for a couple of weeks, I'll be going to sleep happy.
Odds: 12/1
