Is anyone joining me for this year's extravaganza?

So far, we've got Chesney Hawkes.

I like Angelica Bell, she is married to Michael Underworld a former BBC presenter who has retrained as a KS2 teacher and is teaching in a school in Wimbledon.

I like Angelica - the poor girl was ‘let go’ from the Martin Lewis money show.

Just relaxing in a coffee shop, and really enjoying this thread. I think this will be a good year for this thread too.
People who have posted seem to really like Big Brother or it is a guilty secret.

I think it’s good the makings of a vintage year
Yes, I agree. They have got a good mix of people, I think, and the dynamics should be interesting.

I watched it last night, Micky Rourke was virtually undressing AJ with his eyes, he gave me chills (not in a good way)

I remember JoJo Siwa from Dance Moms (DD) was rather obsessed whilst studying/revising.

My guilty pleasure tv wise is Made in Chelsea which is absolute rubbish these days but I’ve got into the habit of watching it.

I agree….

Shinamae Tue 08-Apr-25 11:46:27

I am recording it and have not watched any of it yet…
So, I don’t know who’s in, but glad to hear Micky Rourke is
Ella is from TOWIE..

Good morning yes I will be watching with interest.
C'mon where are the 'never watch it' posts grin

I think if anyone remembered last year's thread, they all posted but I and others challenged politely and asked why they would bother to post on something they were not interested in.

I remember it well grin

Yes I remember it rafichagran. I was half expecting to see a few of those comments when I read this thread earlier this morning. It happens every time.

We all like different things. I wouldn’t dream of reading a thread on a topic that was of no interest to me then posting on it to say so. Hopefully the usual thread police will leave us alone to enjoy this one in peace 😆

Hi everyone, just noticed the thread. I watched last night. An interesting combination of characters.

Mickey Rourke is a liability. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s already gone by this evening. His behaviour around AJ was inappropriate but she handled it well. I feel sorry for the housemates if it’s the usual dormitory style sleeping arrangements.

Ah right. I haven't seen it either - or Made In Essex.

Hi, MayBee and Toetoe.

It's only on for three weeks, and there are 13 of them so far. Will said 14 and was hastily corrected though, so I wouldn't be surprised if another one goes in at some point. Either way, they are going to have to have a few evictions a week to fit it all in.

Same here. Chesney, Trisha and Patsy. Don't know who the girl is, and Chris (?) is a horseracing pundit, I think, but didn't know that until he said.

They seem like a decent bunch so far.

Chris Hughes is just a celebrity guest sort of pundit on ITV Racing. Most famous for being in Love Island which I’ve never seen.

Redblueandgreen Mon 07-Apr-25 23:05:52

Thanks Doodledog.

Toetoe Mon 07-Apr-25 22:58:03

I'll be following as I'm a fan . M R does look out of it .

rafichagran Mon 07-Apr-25 22:57:58

I like Tricia, and Michael, two strong characters and could be interesting. I fully expected to dislike Michael though.
Mickey I think is/will be controversial.
Chesney seems pleasant.

I'm not sure that MR should be in there. He seemed off his face. I hope they're looking after him, awful though he is.

Totally agree he looks out of it, he ststes never seen the show.

Doodledog Mon 07-Apr-25 22:35:13

Hi, Redblueandgreen, and welcome. It always cheers me up.

Redblueandgreen Mon 07-Apr-25 22:32:44

Never watched it. Last watched the ordinary one when Victor was in - can anyone remember his Boys to men routine? Just seen patsy palmer and Trish Goddard are in this and therefore will be watching just for them. Am feeling a bit naff at the moment and hoping it will cheer me up.

Oh god I am really sorry but I honestly thought Mickey Rourke was dead. Who am I thinking of!
I want Daly Thompson to win, I hope he doesn't disappoint me.

Hi Galaxy.

MR had a car accident, I think, but survived, obviously.

Mickey Rourke is horrible

Hello, dogsmother. Yes, he was so lecherous to AJ.

Well, my first impressions are that Mickey, Trisha, Michael and Jojo will be awful, and Chesney (who's looking good) and Jack are likely to be in the final.

I reserve the right to change my mind a hundred times though grin
