He has a beard... I dislike beards, therefore he is a weirdy beardie.

He would then become a sexy beardy... there's a subtle difference.

I think he is known to be a bit of a grump, so he would probably make good viewing

Depression

Oddie has had depression for most of his life, being diagnosed with clinical depression in 2001.[29] On 11 March 2009, it was reported that he had been admitted to Capio Nightingale psychiatric hospital to deal with his depression. His agent David Foster said: "Bill gets these bouts every two or three years where he gets down for about two weeks and recovers. He sometimes goes into hospital or takes a break or has a change of scenery to recharge his batteries."[30] In January 2010, Oddie spoke to the media, revealing that he had in fact had two separate stays in different hospitals, only being discharged "in time for Christmas". He said that he was dealing with depression and bipolar disorder, describing the period as "probably the worst 12 months of my life". Oddie stated that he was planning to meet with BBC executives to discuss his return to television work.[31][32]

His illness meant that he did not appear in the 2009 and 2010 series of Springwatch, although he made a guest appearance in the penultimate episode of the latter.

I don't know Bill but I think I heard he did a show to do with wild life! I was glad that another older person might of been on the show!

Hope there will be a grumpy person on CBB lol

I didn't know that! I think it would be best not for him to be on CBB, because the CBB house can be too much for the housemates sometimes! It would not be right for Bill being stuck in the CBB house if he was there for the final of the show!

I didn't know that either, but would that matter much to BB, seeing from past shows where certain Celebs seemed like they clearly shouldn't have taken part.
