"Im staying as the voice of Big Brother"

[who_r_the_housemates]

Yes! Yes! Yes! I thought at first glance, but upon reading in the Daily Star's article we're not told whether Marcus Bentley has been approached, seems quite likely though!:dance:
Anyway here's the link of the midnight article in case it hasn't been posted already-

thanks for this

[Claymores]

It's a win-win for me if the Daily Star can ever be considered credible............the Gurner out on her arse but Murcus staying :thumbs:

[SaveBigBrotherOnFacebook]

Will this be in today's Daily Star?

[who_r_the_housemates]

thanks for this

No probs:xyxwave:

[georgehudson]

Brilliant!
Marcus is the only man for the job :D

[Patrick]

Wouldn't be Big Brother without him tbh.

I almost cried at 'It would break my heart to see someone else doing it.'
It's so nice that he thinks that way, and I agree with him.

MrMarkys Twitter claims its been confirmed by C5, but i cant find it anywhere.

The Article pretty much confirms it.

[Sawyer]

But he said on Twitter he hasn't been approached last night:

"I've got no news on BB at the moment guys! I'm chuffed to bits that it's back + on 5! Any news + my followers will be the first to know! XXx"

In the Daily Star? It's hardly confirmation.

The owner of C5 owns the Daily Star too rofl.

Yeah, so? Oh thats right, the Daily Star has always printed the absolute truth eh?

The article doesnt say it has been confirmed, it doesnt state he has signed or even that Ch5 or Endemol have approached Bentley.

Dont you think if they had approached him, or he had signed a contract he would have mentioned it on twitter?

..owned by Richard Desmond.

The Daily Star has went from being the most unreliable source in the world when it came to Big Brother, to now becoming the most reliable.

They aren't going to print BS about Big Brother when they essentially own it and by they I mean Desmond.

Dont you think if they had approached him, or he had signed a contract he would have mentioned it on twitter?


No.

[Gillian-73]

I normally would take what the daily star says with a pinch of salt but because of who the owner is i'm inclined to believe this! now, that could be more wishful thinking :elephant: because as far as i'm concerned marcus is the only man for the job!

[Stacey.]

That's good :D It wouldn't feel the same without him being the narrator.

[Claymores]

Fingers crossed Marcus gets the job - of all the rumours, I hope this is the one true

No.

Most reliable? Well I wouldnt go that far. They are simply filling newsprint with nothing, there is no relaible information in it about Bentley. Sorry you cant see that but its true.

Why are they doing it? To ramp up interest but more importantly to increase its circulation, circulation means profit. That unfortunately is the editorial policy of the Daily Star, to print speculation and hype it up as fact, if it does happen to occur later they then state we broke it to you first.

Bentley said they havent even approached him, I would tend to believe him after all he has been straight down the line, he hasnt posted garbage rumours and speculation.

Maybe Ch5/Endemol do intend to obtain his services again, maybe they will approach him, maybe they will even employ him again, maybe they fully intend to.

At the moment though we dont know. It may be different in a few days time. There may be an announcement that they have him under contract but at the moment there is no reason to believe that as fact.

Sorry to piss on your bonfire but that the reality of the situation.

Sure Tell - just a nice thought for me that gurner gone but Marcus back








shure tell

:sleep:

No one has at this stage been approached about anything, the deal was signed 3 days ago, you don't approach anyone before you know it's definitely going ahead, and when it does go ahead (as it now is), the talent isn't the first thing to be considered. The Star (and sister, less made up paper The Express) does all but confirm C5's interest though, and why would they be interested? They'd be foolish not to go for such an iconic voice over, the ringtone of thousands during BB's height:

"BIG BROTHER voice- over star Marcus Bentley can’t wait to resume his role on Channel 5."

Even The Star with their low standards of journalism would put "would like to" / "is interested in" if C5 were planning on asking someone else.

FFS kid - I only do gambling on BB and rarely talk of BB outwith gamblng - stop being an arse

No.

They will still print BS, but to pad out the currently scarce real details now rather than because they have no one on the inside to give them them.

So that's concrete proof? If you think that then you must be really naive. Marcus hasnt even been approached by Channel 5.
The Daily Star is and always will be a tabloid newspaper, no matter who owns it, and will and continue to exaggerate the news.
They've said this BB and previous series would be the raunchiest yet. Has It been?

[who_r_the_housemates]

Thanks for all the comments guys, it seems most of us really want the guy back, but as factual and realistic as we try to be it's only because we don't want to be disappointed (yet again as was the case with bb in ch4's hands), so lets cross our fingers and hope but personally I believe it's much more likely to happen than not :D

[who_r_the_housemates]

Oh by the way to all the comments regarding dirty Des's Daily Star, haven't all the BB leaks to the build up of the deal been correct thus far?

[Patrick]

They say that every year [because they want it to be raunchy], the only time I'll believe them is this time because it'll be printed by their boss and their boss is a dirty bastard.

BAD NEWS THE SHOW NEEDS TO MOVE ON AND BE MORE UP TODAY WITH EDITING (FASTER PAST) HE JUST MAKES IT ALL SEEM BORING WITH HIS POINTLESS COMMENTS AND UNNECESSARY STATING THE TIMES!

the show needs move on no go back! really bad decision by channel 5 if they want to make it a bigger and better show! Macus Bentley is just desperate for the money as he doesn't do any other voice over's for any other shows, commercials etc. So what does that tell you! know one wants his monotone ridiculous accent!

That his voice is synonymous with big brother:rolleyes:

[CharlieO]

when the majority of people hear him he is 'the big brother man/voice' so if he didnt return it would be absoloutley mad. not many people know him as marcus bently

[Daniel McIver]

I think they'll confirm it when they confirm who's the new presenter. :D

[arista]

In the Daily Star? It's hardly confirmation.

It is due to Ch5 Desmond using his papers
Daily Star and Daily Express
for Endemol /Ch5 Updates

[who_r_the_housemates]

Been under a rock! Any more news on this?:blush2:
