Why does everyone think Zoe is so well known?

[Locke.]

Both the housemates and people on here?

She was on Pop Idol TWELVE YEARS AGO and didn't make the final. She released one single ELEVEN YEARS AGO that didn't make the top 10. Apart from that she has just done a few West End shows, but they are hardly well known people :shrug: She is so unknown that more people probably recognize Winston as a background character on a couple episodes of Eastenders

[Jake.]

Because the housemates are paranoid arseholes and the forum members are stanning too hard

[abhorson]

I never watched those shows. Never heard of her.

[billy123]

Never heard of her.
She seems pretty pointless in the house.

[CaudleHalbard]

I've never heard of Zoe either.

[chuff me dizzy]

I had never heard of her, she's hardly Kylie fgs

[Josy]

I have never heard of her before BB either.

Isn't she meant to be big in theatre or something though?

[Will.]

I never had heard of her until BB, although I suppose she isnt normal if people have heard of her, the whole point of BB is for everyday people to go in who have no celeb status or who have been in the public eye. Although as Emma said if we put her in CBB you would all be like who is she? Maybe the simple answer to her is not to be her in neither BB or CBB.

Zoes wiki, big star my arse .......... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoe_Birkett

[*mazedsalv**]

Not a big star but she did come 4th. And Pop Idol still remains the biggest voting number amount in the UK. The final got 8.7m votes and 10.1m watched Zoe's elimination so was quite huge at the time, but it was so long ago.

It was surpassed by the 2nd Pop Idol which got 10.26m votes in the night. Holy ****e :shocked:

[Sophiee]

I couldn't actually remember her either, helen is probably more well known than her.

[BigSister]

I knew her but I suppose younger viewers who wouldn't have watched first PI would know her. So I suppose it works both ways

[muchadoaboutnothing]

Never mind the fact that I also have never heard of her, I equally have never heard of half of the CBB HMs, as most of them seem to be imported from America. And there are always a few CBB British HMs I have never heard of. It seems to me that Zoe wnet in the BB House to update her profile.

[Johnnyuk123]

She is well known for being one half of the Krankies.

[JTM45]

She looks like she had her nose done by Jacko's guy! :laugh:

[Fish_Fingers]

Add me to the list of folks who'd never heard of her until 2 weeks ago. And I doubt that I will ever hear of her again once this charade is over.

[Jay.]

I'd never heard of her, but I recognised her face.

[smudgie]

:shrug: maybe ifs because she is a home bird at heart.
I know she does shows in the West end etc, but she has been on and off our local telly news for years, doing Panto etc.

[psychtracker]

i've never watched 'idol', so don't know her from a bar of soap. but, i generally don't like reality tv 'cross pollination'. ie. annoys me when amazing race US has ex-BB, Survivor peoples etc. she's already had her 15 secs of fame, it seems - and gets a leg up on the other new housemates. should be legit newbies (to my mind), not washed up's..been there already, wanabees..
