Nick Bateman could return for All-Stars series

20 Nov, 2016 - 3:17 AM by James

Nick Bateman The Sunday People reported that 'Nasty Nick' - Nick Bateman of the original UK series of Big Brother (2000) could be a housemate in January 2017's Celebrity Big Brother, which is rumoured to have a 'Gold Stars vs. New Stars' theme. A source in the newspaper is quoted: “Obviously bosses hope Nick will return to his underhand tactics and cause controversy all over again. Even 16 years after the first series, fans of the show will remember his performance – he’s one of the all time stars of the show. He’ll be in good company though, there are plenty of other villains being lined up to appear with him.” In the Big Brother 1 house in 2000, he was the only contestant not to receive a nomination. However, he became known as "Nasty Nick" because of his duplicitousness, manipulating his housemates into voting for each other. After 5 weeks he was finally confronted by the housemates who realised he was showing other housemates' names on pieces of paper to influence nominations. He was then asked to leave the house by the show's producers. He also took part in 2005's Big Brother Panto shown on Channel 4, and in 2010's Ultimate Big Brother, where he struck up a friendship with Victor Ebuwe. Nick in Big Brother Panto He made many media appearances after Big Brother 1, such as presenting his own show: 'Trust Me' on Channel 4 and appearing in pantomime. He currently lives in Sydney, Australia.

Quote: Nasty Nick is the latest name to be linked to Celebrity Big Brother 2017. Nick Bateman was the show's original bad guy after finding himself ejected in Series 1. He was kicked out for messing with nominations, which shows how much things have changed when people can now get away with spitting in another housemate's food. Ahem. Anyway, it's been reported that Nick is one of the names set to return to the house as part of next January's All Star celebrity series, even if he was never a celebrity housemate. The special run is set to celebrate CBB's 20th series, although that actually won't be until the summer. BUT ANYWAY. A source told The Sunday People newspaper: “Even 16 years after the first series, fans of the show will remember his performance – he’s one of the all time stars of the show. “He’ll be in good company though, there are plenty of other villains being lined up to appear with him.” If Nick does appear it would actually be his third Big Brother stint having previously competed in Channel 4's All Stars special Ultimate Big Brother in 2010. Other names tipped to appear in January include James Jordan and Jasmine Lennard. As well as appearing in their original series, Jasmine and James also popped up in the house last year too as part of a 'Timebomb' twist. However it won't just be familiar faces on the 'all stars' line up next year, if rumours are to be believed. The Sun has suggested the name will in fact be 'Gold Stars vs New Stars' with a special series featuring both ex-housemates and new faces. Celebrity Big Brother all star line up? More names on a supposed 'wish list' include recent CBB winner Stephen Bear, professional troll Katie Hopkins, model and Loose Women star Katie Price and US couple Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag. Celebrity Big Brother 2017 will on Channel 5 in the new year. http://www.tellymix.co.uk/reality-tv...nick-back.html It's laughable how terrible this series sounds already

(I'd rather Nikki didn't take part - she needs to have a rest for a few years and she'd probably end up coming third to Stephen Bear and Katie Hopkins)

Nasty Nick turned out to be a nice guy in the end but I just know ch5 will do something to tarnish that role of his and make him some kind of villain for no reason

He was so boring in UBB, he'd be a waste of a housemate here.
