Was Boy George the biggest loss the show ever had?

[Denver]

It's no secret he had signed a deal to enter but the court stopped him from entertaining just before the series started.

Boy George has himself said it is a decision he is thankful for as the show wasnt the best route for his career.

So the answer is do we think we lost out on a potential best housemate ever?

[Tony Montana]

Lil Kim says hi

[Denver]

Lil Kim says hi

She isnt really a headline name though is she

[Tony Montana]

She isnt really a headline name though is she

Maybe not on Boy George's level but she's much more famous than most of the CBB Housemates we've had over the years.

I reckon she would've been a fantastic HM

We had so many great potential housemates
Whitney was in Talks but walked away last minute, Bobby Brown and Bobbi Kristina agreed to go in then quit days before,

Dog and Beth both had their Visa rejected

Charlotte Church held talks but decided against it

[Mitchell]

Dawn French was supposed to be in the first one, so no.

Whitney was a big miss. Guess she couldn't be without her drugs.

No, he’s a dickhead and probably would have been boring

[UserSince2005]

didn't lil kim request to review all footage before it aired? didnt work back in live feed days, but channel 5 could have arranged that im sure.

[Denver]

The 1st time maybe but the recent times she hadn't been a big name for 10 years

[Denver]

No, he’s a dickhead and probably would have been boring

Mess did they actually nearly have Whitney :skull:

And which series was Boy George signed for? I'm sure he's said he would be interested in the US version, so here's hoping he can get on that at some point!

She was in deep discussion but when it came to signing a contract she decided against it then made a massive comeback a year or so later

Boy George was meant to be in the last ever one on CH4

Also Pamela Anderdon and MC Hammer were expected to join but didnt

[reece(:]

Justice for Stormy?

[Marsh.]

I thought Boy George was booked for CBB9? The one with Denise Welch?

She is the greatest housemate ever

[Amy Jade]

Paris Hilton

[Gstar]

The fact that Lil Kim was meant to be in CBB5 would of been the most interesting thing ever

P.s. She would have NOT been here for the bullying

[LaLaLand]

We very nearly got Anna Nicole Smith at least once, I think the Chantelle series she was heavily rumoured.

She would have been amazing. RIP.

Forgot we almost got Kim too! Would have been incredible.

Whitney, Ben from a1 and Lucy Pinder to form a gang?

[Maxxie.]

I do not believe whitney nearly signed up for cbb without a legit source, the rest mentioned I believe, specially as graham norton mel b etc would have been in the comic relief one.

Also did bobby brown quit or was he pulled for bobby sabel? :joker:

[Dogeatdog]

It’s a shame I would’ve liked to see Boy George in BB I think he would’ve been a great housemate.

Bobby Brown would’ve been an interesting housemate but I reckon if he did take part he probably would’ve walked at some point anyways.

[Gstar]

Whitney would of never did CBB :laugh: Bobby Brown maybe

[Epic.]

They had these and we got Jack Dee, Claire Sweeney and Anthea Turner :umm2:

Jack Dee was a huge name and made for a good housemate too :love:
