This thread is designed to allow you to re-live Lesley's Big Brother journey documented through gif form. Often overlooked, this legend is one of the most gif-able housemates of all time!

We start this journey on 30 May 2007, where the world was first introduced to an icon:

Ddd not the crowds screams of horror being cut off when Lesley's VT pops up :skull:
Lesley lying that the production team said the single bed is for her :skull:
Samanda: "oh look there's a pool"
Lesley: "Lets get to the more important stuff... *picks up champagne bottle and starts to open it*

:joker:
Lesley's face throughout the entrances gets worse each time :joker:
Lesley: "That's my little red bed in the corner, they told me"
Laura: "HMM I don't think they told you that"

:joker:

Lesley telling the twins she's gonna create her own fashion range for the elderly when she leaves :joker:

"There's a gap in the market"
Everyone saying the roles they'll do in the house

Lesley: "I'll do the post-modern irony, because someone's got to do that haven't they"

:joker:
Lesley: "Caro-Ca-Carole! We need a MILK jug- we need a milk jug and some, erm- linen napkins with a DRAWN thread edge... for me... . There's a- ugh *sighs in frustration*"
Carole: "..I think you have to put in your own requests"
Lesley: "Oh right, fine. Well then don't be jealous when I get them and won't share them with you ^_^"

:joker:
Emily: "She's 72-"
Laura: "-AHHH?"

:joker:
Emily: "What year were you born in?"
Lesley: "Why does that matter?"
Emily: "I just wanted to know if you were alive during the war"
Lesley: "Of course! My husband was on the beach of the D-Day landings"

Her trolling is iconic :joker:
Lesley calling a house meeting to tell the girls to "start performing" more if they want to make a career off of the show :joker:
Lesley calling a house meeting to call everyone out for their fame hungry ways

Laura: "I dress up as Vicky Pollard every day, that's showcasing my talent"

:joker:
Carole sat biting her nails because she's fuming she's not chairing the meeting and Lesley is

Chanelle: "I love Harvey Nichols, Lesley do you?"
Lesley: "Yes, but the difference between you and me is I can afford to go to Harvey Nichols"

:joker:
Lesley: "They are the most boring girls I've ever met. DON'T tell me you're gonna be a star, just don't tell me that. Because if I was running a corner shop, I wouldn't have you!"

:joker:
*Tracey goes on a long speech about the purpose of the house metting, what it will consist of, what issues need to be disussed and resolved etc.*

Tracey: "We're gonna go around in order... and we're gonna start with Lesley"
Lesley: "I have nothing to say"
*everyone laughs*

:joker:
Charl: Laura, you alright baby?
Laura: Yeah
Charl: Trace, you alright darling?
Tracey: Gravy
Charl: Lesley, you still awake sexy?
Lesley: Sorry?
Charl: You still awake?
Lesley: No
Charl: Everythin's good in the hood then *chuckles*
Lesley: What is it sweet heart, what do you want?
Charley: Just checkin you're alright babe
Lesley :love:

Lesley dragging the girls lying in bed all morning saying they're the most boring people she's met and could never live up to Madonna's success who has to go to meetings and negotiate :joker:
Emily: Who thinks Lesley's the most intelligent?
Laura: Me because he said to me today
Emily: BUT did he say Lesley's the most intelligent woman in the house?
Chanelle: NO he said Lesley's a very intelligent lady

Lmao Emily trying to coup Lesley from the start.
"Housemates must now rate themselves on who is most considerate"
Emily: "I think Lesley's 11!" :skull:
Charley: "I always make cups of tea and food"
Emily: "Carole's very considerate she has children"

scream.

Lesley: "Can I ask a question, if I was rating myself on considerateness I would put myself there [higher] but Emily says I must be 11"
Lesley: "Those that shout the loudest are going to complain the most when we get no food"
Charley: "Who?"
Lesley: *points aggressively at Emily* "Piggy at the table! Piggy at the table and she's going to suffer!"

I wonder how BB8 would've panned if Leslie didn't walk. She had hilarious moments like "piggy at the table" and her clocking all the housemates behind their backs was terrific. I don't think she would've lasted quite long but still think her presence in that house would've been an interesting dynamic had she stayed a bit longer.

Seany pushing our poor Les to walk on his first night in the house :( I'll never forgive ha
*someone puts crisps in Seany's bed*
Seany: "I cannot believe... you guys obviously have no manners putting crisps in people's beds..."
Laura: "WELL YOU'VE JUST PULLED THE BLANKET OFF AN OLD WOMAN!... no offence Les!"
Seany: "She's only 40 years old!"
Laura: "No she's not!"
*Lesley gets out of bed and leaves the room*

:joker:
Lesley: "They have allowed me to pack my own suitcase, because they know me very well, and also to have the opportunity to say goodbye"
*Charley gives her a half-hearted sympathetic brush on the shoulder as she walks past*
Lesley: *whispers to herself* "Don't touch me!"

:joker:
Seany: "Lesley... Lesley..."
*Lesley ignores*
Seany: "Lesley?"
Lesley: "Yes?"
Seany: "I'm really sorry about last night"
Lesley: "No, you're not in the LEAST BIT sorry, one of the most irritating things about being here is people behaving in quite an appalling way, and then feel that by saying (baby voice) 'sorry' that it's alright. I put myself in that position last night, I will NOT put myself in that position again"
Seany: "...ok"
Lesley: "If you'd like to go and get on with your business I'd be MOST grateful"

Dermot: "Who did you get on with in the house?"
Lesley: "Oh Tracey, she really sorted me out, she was lovely"
Dermot: "Anybody else?"
Lesley: *looks left* *looks right* *silence*
Dermot: "What about Carole?"
Lesley: "OH CAROLE... drove me mad!"
