Big Bro star not wanted for new club

Lap-dancing king Peter Stringfellow reckons Ulster's Orlaith McAllister - famous for taking her clothes off - is TOO TACKY to work in his new Dublin strip joint!
The leopard-print lothario - whose new Parnell Street venue was granted a licence last week - said that he would not hire the Big Brother star.
Said the club-owner: "I would have no interest in hiring Orlaith to work for us.
"We just don't need that type of publicity."
Stringfellow made the comments on a visit to Dublin to promote the new venue - which is due to open in early February.
Meanwhile, Orlaith is rumoured to have rekindled her relationship with TV presenter Gary McCausland.
She first met the hunky host of Channel 5's How To Become A Property Developer during a fashion show in Belfast last year.
Orlaith may not be welcome at Stringfellows, but dozens of other sexy Irish girls are being encouraged to audition for the club.
It is understood the strippers could earn up to £2,000-a-night.
Enniskillen girl Gillian Johnson has been dancing in Stringfellows in London for more than a year now.
The 27-year-old is expected to move to the Dublin club when it opens next month.
There was strong local opposition to the club opening, but Stringfellow, who flew in especially for the licence application hearing last Monday, has assured local residents that the club will be well-run.
He said: "Stringfellows has a reputation, attracting clients from all over the over the world and different walks of life from royalty to celebrities, pop stars, politicians, businessmen and the ordinary man on the street.
"The clubs in London and Paris are stylish and sophisticated and cater for all. Dublin will be the same."
"I empathise with those people that lodged their objections.
"However my clubs are extremely well-run.
"They will be able to see the proof of this within the next six months," he added.
Stringfellow's Irish business partner, Tom Butler, has been attempting to bring a strip club to Dublin for several years.
And he revealed that later this year, we are going to be opening a new Stringfellows club in New York.
He said: "It gives me great pleasure to see that the Dublin club will be opening in my own home city before we have opened one in the United States."
