Default Mario and Lisa targeted by conman - BBC

Quote:
5 November 2012 Last updated at 08:21

Reality TV celebrities have been targeted by a notorious Bristol conman looking to convince investors he is a successful media producer, a BBC investigation has found.

Selva Carmichael, 51, now of Chackmore, Buckinghamshire, presented himself as Silva 'Silver Fox' Michael, the president of WorldScreen Group to win over potential investors.

Carmichael filmed with Big Brother stars Mario Marconi from Widnes and Lisa Appleton from Warrington for a show that never aired.

He also tried to pose as the manager of former X Factor contestant, Chico.

BBC Inside Out has discovered Carmichael also failed to pay celebrity-backed charity the Five Stars Appeal thousands of pounds worth of promised donations.

Carmichael, who ran a major Spanish property scam from Bristol more than a decade ago, has failed to respond to inquiries made by the BBC.

BBC Inside Out is on BBC One West, North West and East on Monday, 5 November at 19:30 GMT and nationwide on the iPlayer for seven days thereafter.

They were most likely over exfoliated when this happened.

Nevermind, watched the vid, they're both crying. Looks like they'd been weeping actually.

I don't really find them irritating, I remember Mario being quite disliked but Lisa was one of my faves in BB9, they haven't did anything to annoy me since leaving the house.

I don't know why Lisa spoils herself with that drag queen look. She's not bad when she's 'normal'.
But, my god, what has Mario done to his face?

Lol at Mario's fake tears that have ended up just looking like sweat
