The Scot is so awful I can’t tear myself away!

By Cameron Stout



WHEN the new house was finally unveiled I must admit I had a lump in my throat. That’s something that hasn’t happened for quite a while.

It was seeing the chairs by the pool that did it — we didn’t even have seating like that in Big Brother 4.

I’m not sure why I felt emotional. Perhaps it was the sense of expectation — nostalgia for the old coupled with a thrill of the new.
Parts of the house reminded me of the very first Big Brother domicile. Plain outside walls giving out on to the garden, though there have been plenty of radical updates.

Some such as the leather doors on the diary room and the rubber-covered seats seem quirky, bordering on kinky.
I certainly don’t fancy the urinals in the bathroom. At the risk of sounding indelicate, when we were leaving the Big Brother 4 house we were cautioned always to use cubicles in public rest rooms to minimise unwanted attention. Now they’ve installed wall porcelain in the bathroom. You go figure!

On the plus side, I love the waterbed (wish we’d had one) and the seating area — the whole inside-out, topsy-turvy design.
But Laurence Llewellyn Bowen has already sashayed through its precincts and declared the house would be a nightmare to live in.
Time will tell. It’s small and, with glass partitions throughout, more of a goldfish bowl than ever.

But the odd and offbeat nature of the place is the perfect playground for the producers’ whims and caprices and I’m hoping to see Big Brother himself emerge as one of the major players this year.

BIG BROTHER EXCLUSIVE: BIG BUDDIES
By Emily Nash And Cameron Robertson

BIG Brother contestants Grace and Nikki are keeping a secret - they've been buddies for ages, we can reveal.

They have worked together on the perfume counter at posh department store Harrods and often party at showbiz haunt Chinawhite.

It also emerged yesterday that wannabe IT girl Grace is "very good friends" with Calum Best and is being pestered for a date by Hollywood bad boy Christian Slater, who has even called her mum at home.

Her mum Alison revealed: "Some of her friends told me she knew Nikki from work.

"It will be nice for her to have someone who she knows in there, but I did think it was odd."

She added: "Grace knows so many people and everyone seems to fall in love with her.

"She's very good friends with Calum Best, but I know she hasn't slept with him - she would have told me."

Alison said 20-year-old Grace also caught the eye of star Christian Slater while he was starring in a West End play.

She said: "I think they met in a nightclub and he hasn't stopped phoning her since --he even called my house to try and speak to her."

But she dented her daughter's self-styled snobby high class image, revealing: "We're not posh, we're working class from Devon. Everything we've got, I worked hard for."

However, our revelation exposes Big Brother 7 as a sham by breaking the show's golden rule. The 14 contestants are supposed to be total strangers who meet for the first time in the house.

On last night's show, viewers saw Nikki, 24 - in sexy bunny outfit - squeal as she recognised Grace, her old department store colleague when they replayed the moment housemates entered the house. She shouted: "Oh my god, Grace - I can't believe it!"

An insider said: "If I was a viewer, I'd feel cheated. This goes against the very idea of the show - that nobody knows each other."

But a spokeswoman for Big Brother insisted show bosses did not know Nikki and Grace had worked together.

She said: "We are aware Nikki and Grace socialised in the same circles, such as Chinawhite, so they may have recognised each other's face. But we had no prior knowledge they worked together at Harrods." The row came as Nikki missed out on the chance to be immune from eviction after refusing to enter the diary room.

She and Lisa were nominated by the other housemates after an announcement from Big Brother.

But she was worried what lay in store - and Shahbaz took her place.

But it turned out that the pair were the lucky ones as they were appointed founding members of the "Big Brotherhood".

It means they won't face the boot next week, have won special privileges, got their suitcases instantly and, crucially, the ability to choose new members of the "cult" - who will also be safe from eviction.

Meanwhile, jobless Glaswegian Shahbaz, 37, guessed that rocker Pete, 24, has Tourette's Syndrome. When the others were told, Nikki giggled: "He's so funny. He shouts w***ers all the time!" Her puzzled pal Grace replied: "I just thought he was eccentric."

Pete - the bookies' hot favourite to win the show on odds of 10/3 from Paddy Power - explained: "It's a bit like a hiccup. They just come. You just have to do what it says."

But it was Welsh housemates Imogen, 23, and weedy lifeguard Glyn, 18, who ended up being gagged by Big Brother - with a ban on them speaking Welsh.

Glyn was called to the diary room and ordered not to speak Welsh during his time in the house. He protested: "But it's a British language." But Big Brother replied in a clear English accent: "It's not English... and could be considered to be talking in code".

But Welsh Assembly member Lisa Francis fumed: "It is outrageous.

"It is nothing short of an insult to the people of Wales."

Imogen was crowned Miss Wales in 2003.

Sunday Mirror

I hate this nationalist shyte, Get over it!
If he needs to talk in Welsh to Imogen then he's obviously speaking in code so nobody else can understand.
He can speak English so just bloody speak it and stop trying to make more of a deal out of it, can't stand nationalist politicians and that goes for Scottish and Irish ones too

*nods*

How do Cam, you're up late or should that be early
Haven't really gotten into this yet but I'm sure I will

BIG BROTHER PETE... YOU TOO GRACEY


PETE has now turned his attention to housemate Grace. The pair spent much of the afternoon of Day Three openly cuddling in the living room while housemates chatted about sex.

Cross-dresser Pete, 24, was curled up in a ball with 20-year-old Grace.

It is not the first potential pairing in the house. Self-proclaimed ladies man Sezer Yurtseven, 26, has moved on to Welsh beauty Imogen Thomas.

And Nikki enjoyed playful spanks on the backside from posh George.

He patted Nikki's backside as she lay in bed. Then she allowed him to lift her to determine her weight. Sezer also got in the action with well-aimed whacks.

MR NASTY'S VERDICT
By Kevin O'Sullivan

PETE

BIG up to the Tourette's boy as he does his best (but fails) to stop screaming "w***er!" all the time. I assume he's talking about Shahbaz. Pete's very funny and full of charm.

LISA

THE Shanghai-born Manchester ladette tells it like it is. Said Shahbaz was "virtually raping every man he sees" and described Pete as "cute as f**k".

RICHARD

WHEN gay Shahbaz squealed, "You've got a lot of reserve" Richard spat: "Only with you." That cowboy-hat look is a bit old hat but he seems decent.


NIKKI

HIS plain Jane in porn-star clothing is entertainingly self-obsessed. One of 12 deprived of their suitcases, Nikki wailed: "I can't believe you're doing this to ME!"

IMOGEN

THE fresh-faced former Miss wouldn't melt in her mouth - until she pleaded with gay Richard: "Are you going to handcuff me then?"

SEZER

ALLEGED stockbroker who lives with his mum and claims to earn £250,000 a year. A decade more like. But Sezer knows what he wants in life...Imogen!

MIKEY

I'M not saying this narcissistic prat is ugly. But he's not quite the stunner he thinks he is. Made a move for Imogen - who promptly went to bed with Sezer.

BONNIE

NOT hat pretty but certainly vacant. The lights are on, e doors are open but ther's no-one in. Hilarious accent and so thick she's got eat comic potential.

GRACE

YET to stick her head above the parapet, it's hard to know what this self-styled Sloane Ranger - who's not very posh - is all about. Sod all probably

DAWN

AN A-grade depressing weirdo who, with her baggy clothes and transvestite's wig, seems to be in disguise. Will the real Dawn ever emerge? I hope not!

GEORGE

HUNTING, shooting, fishing ...boring. Posh dullard Beatrice came to his 18th birthday party. George, you need to get out more.

GLYN

HOOLBOY lifeguard who is t of his depth. Banned m speaking his native Welsh, he also appears to have been banned from speaking English.

LEA

FRIGHTFUL old porno bat who will surely soon qualify for a bus pass. "I don't know how I'm perceived on telly?" she wondered. As someone we want to get rid of ASAP.

SHAHBAZ

Already screaming about wanting to leave the house because no-one likes him, this Scottish screamer declared: "I've got no chance of getting pregnant in here." What about IVF?

LOCK BB TEAM UP..FOR GOOD


I COUNTED them in. And it's going to take 13 excruciating weeks to count them out.

You've got to hand it to the Big Brother 7 team. Working on the inspirational principle that there's no business like freak show business, C4's impressive bosses proudly present an extraordinary gaggle of gargoyles, weirdos and outcasts.

All of them fully deserve to be locked up. In prison. But for the time being we're going to have to endure the likes of extreme northerner "Bonn-eh", high-flying stockbroker and entrepreneur "little" Sezer (he still lives with his mum) and depressive Dawn, 38, making massive fools of themselves in TV's house of horror.

Should we be laughing at "whoop, shovoo, w*nker" Pete - the manic Londoner who suffers from Tourette's Syndrome?

After the 14 lambs to the slaughter shuffled into the compound amid a cacophony of boos, cheers and bellowing host Davina McCall's deafening voice, there was perpetual-motion Pete twitching violently and leaping around as if the floor was on fire.

Great to also see that Jodie Marsh's grandmother Lea "street" Walker will be strutting her stuff as the oldest porn star in history. There are lies, Big Brother lies and Lea's surgically-altered vital statistics. And when this preposterous peroxide mess claimed she was only 35 I nearly choked. She won't last the pace.



But loser Lea - who shelled out a staggering £35,000 to look like that - wasn't the only one telling porkies.

"I'm good looking," said remarkably ugly stick-insect Glyn, a part-time Welsh lifeguard who seems to think he's a Baywatch hunk.

Average-looking Mikey Dalton is another absurdly vain contestant, who mistakenly believes he's the new Brad Pitt.

Out-of-work upholsterer Lisa Hoe isn't quite up to speed on the multi-cultural Britain front.

Lovely Lisa, who lists "burping and farting" among her favourite pastimes, is convinced that we'll all reel back in amazement at a woman of Asian extraction with a broad Manchester accent. Whatever next? A black Scotsman!

Step forward self-proclaimed Glaswegian "wacky Paki poof" Shahbaz Chauhdry who - at 37 can look back on 21 glorious years of continuous unemployment.

But he's got a job now - as BB7's resident crap court jester.

Despite his uber gayness, shabby Shahbaz has never had a boyfriend. Can't think why!

Some Canadian bald bloke called Richard Newman completes the "hilarious" homosexual contingent and warns that the straight boys will be "climbing the walls" to get away from his incessant "sexual-terrorist" advances.

That's something to look forward to.

Other early thoughts on the poor saps who'll be filmed around the clock until the middle of August.

If dance teacher Grace Adams-Short is an upper-class Sloane Ranger, why does she talk like a Cockney?

On the subject of ancient table-cloth wearer Dawn Blake's alleged career, what on earth is an "exercise scientist"?

Bunny-eared bore Nikki "buses are peasant-wagons" Graham's towering ambition is to strip off for lads' mags. That's it girl - reach for the skies!

Let's not forget former Miss Wales Imogen Thomas. Or rather let's.

Token posh guy, ungorgeous George "I" Askew, fears transvestites and hyper-gay men. He's in for a very frightening couple of months.

And did scatological, toilet-obsessed McCall really have to inform us the schoolboy Glynn "goes for a poo after every meal".

That was even more disgusting than dirty Davina's revolting observation that the good thing about the fetishistic rubber and leather furniture "is you can wipe those unfortunate stains off with a cloth".

With that, the mistress of filth was off to the loos where she simulated a man taking a slash and revealed the housemates are going to be filmed urinating. Yay!

Better still there'll be no more crafty underwater screwing in the swimming pool. All aquatic sex will be lovingly recorded by special submarine cameras.

Just when you think Big Brother bosses can't sink any lower they shock and amaze you by plumbing incredible new depths. Onwards and downwards! Sundaymirror

Dermot O'Leary has something that sets him apart from other men... he doesn't like boobs!

The 'Big Brother's Little Brother' presenter has stated he doesn't pay attention to women's assets and believes that generally all men do not.

He said: "Blokes just don't look at boobs."

However, Dermot - who lives with his girlfriend - didn't fail to notice the male form whilst sunning himself on holiday in Miami recently, saying: "There were loads of muscle men running around."

'Big Brother' host Davina McCall finds it hard not to slag off housemates she hates.

The reality TV show presenter - who is expecting her third child - says she has to make sure her personal opinion doesn't come across in the eviction interviews.

She revealed: "If they have been a good housemate, if they've been great to watch, coupled with the fact that we really appreciate them going into the house in the first place, a complete character assassination is never going to be on the cards.

"As much as I might personally dislike someone, it's not right for me to completely annihilate them. That's up to them to deal with that when they've left.

"We put them in there, so we have to kind of balance the interview."

Harmony reigned in the Big Brother household despite the best efforts of the show's bosses to create divisions.

Grace, Richard and Lea joined the exclusive Big Brotherhood and a slap-up meal, complete with champagne, was laid on for its six members while the rest of the house was given packed lunches.

The other members of the Brotherhood are Lisa, Shahbaz and Pete, 24, who was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome 10 years ago.

This status will ensure the trio are immune from eviction in the first round of voting.

But the preferential treatment offered to the Big Brotherhood members failed to dampen the spirits of the other housemates.

Less clear was what paths, if any, romance is to follow. While Shahbaz, 37, an unemployed Glaswegian, clearly likes hunky Richard, the feeling is not shared.

And while entrepreneur Sezer snuggled up to Welsh beauty queen Imogen last night and appears to have taken a shine to her, Imogen's feelings are more lukewarm.

Earlier in the day she confessed to Richard and Lisa that she didn't fancy Sezer, but added that she thought chauvinist Mikey and well-spoken George were cute.

Likewise, Richard whined to her and Lisa about the attention he has been getting from Shahbaz, adding that George was his favourite male housemate.

Also yesterday, the Big Brother housemates showed their creative sides after being given their first task by the reality show's bosses.

The madcap contestants were told to pair up and customise T-shirts for each other, based on the other person's personality and character.

Among the first to get creative was housemate Bonnie who paired up with Lea - who claims to have the largest breast implants in the UK  capturing her attributes with a circular design.

A record 8.1 million viewers tuned in for the Channel 4 show's launch on Thursday night, a million more than at the same stage last year.

Bookmakers William Hill named 20-year-old "Sloane Ranger" Grace as their early 5/1 favourite to win the series
