should housemates have agents?

[jennyjuniper]

I've just read that two people who may be entering the bb house this summer already have agents. One is some numpty who has spent thousands on plastic surgery and fake tan to look like his idol Joey Essex (I despair) and the other is the sister of a supposed rapist who is a footballer (the supposed rapist, not the sister)
My point is that the ordinary BB is supposed to be about ordinary housemates, so why accept people who have agents?

Anyone spending any time on TV who hopes to make any money out of it afterwards should have an agent. While you have to pay them a percentage they'll get more work and open up more opportunities for you afterwards than you could get yourself. They'll also know how to handle the press and teach you how not to make a complete arse of yourself. Although I think a lot of ex-housemates might have been absent the day they covered 'not being an arse'.
