Producers want the 29-year-old, nicknamed Squeaky because of his high voice, for his comedy value.
On the Channel 4 show, he comes across as an overgrown wimp as he sits on the sofa with his loudmouth mum Linda and stepdad Pete McGarry at their home in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex.
Word leaked yesterday that he had been called for a meeting with CBB bosses to agree a deal. A researcher on the show posted a message for George with his travel details.
A telly source said: “Ever since the new series of Gogglebox, fans have been calling on Channel 5 to grab one of them for Celebrity Big Brother.
“George would be the butt of all jokes, but he has the good humour to take it well.”
Last night Channel 5 declined to comment on the rumours. An insider on the hit show said: “The line-up has not yet been finalised.”

No, I still enjoy Gogglebox. If they all started appearing everywhere as though they think they're celebrities like Towie or something I'll start to hate them.

I don't think gogglebox people should go in, they just all seem
normal people and are never in the press or anything. I don't consider them celebrity's just people from a show. A bit like contestants from a quiz show. It's different if there from x. Factor of those sort of shows.

And yeah they just watch tv, literally anyone of us could give opinions on shows.
Marsh.
21-05-2014, 12:07 PM
And of all the personalities on that show, he's one of the worst.

Apart from the Michael's he is the absolute WORST. His mum >>>

And yes, Sandy & Sandra have been terrible this series, so try-hard and loud.

Steph and dom would be good, there's not been housemates like them. Sandy and Sandra would be good as we'll but that's it!

Ooooh hed be boring him and hes hardly a celebrity is he?!!

Yeah I agree, they suit regular BB but not celebrity one. The show hasn't made them out to be celebirtys.
Marsh.
21-05-2014, 12:33 PM
But then again, I suppose it would be unfair to put them in the civilian one, given they've had TV exposure and would already have a fan base of sorts.

People like Steph, Dom, Leon and June, they're celebrities in my eye as they are the stars of one of the most successful shows on at the moment.
George on the other hand (along with people such as Scarlett Moffat's parents, the Michael's daughter, the vicars husband and the German guys stepdaughter) are all background characters as far as I'm concerned

That Vicar is really annoying as well

So given the standard of celebrity we're used to it's the "background characters" that will do CBB.

Her piano needs tuning too.

"Celebrity" for sitting in front of a TV? Gogglebox will turn to **** once they start getting treated & thinking they're celebs.
Lostie!
21-05-2014, 12:43 PM
I don't watch GoggleBox, but I have seen one clip, a woman screaming at her family for talking through Downton Abbey.
"I don't get it".
"WELL YOU MIGHT DO IF YOU WATCH IT!".
I'll admit, that tickled me. :joker:

I did mention in the bb speculation thread that I bet someone off gogglebox would probably go in but I don't think I would actually want anyone to go in. They are all great on google box but I think they would be so much different in the bb house. So none of them please
