[Benjamin]

Big brava

[Kate!]

[Strictly Jake]

Haven't seen Ella on anything before and her Instagram didn't give much away but I think I'm gonna like her she seems very bubbly

[Benjamin]

Alan Carr on late and live :amazed:

[joeysteele]

I like them all really.
Who knows what the house will do to them though.

[Strictly Jake]

Alan carr is a great signing for late and live. Shame they couldn't get him as a housemate though. They used to love big brother on Friday night project

[Zizu]

I don’t know her. She’ll probably be first out because the uk don’t like women


Good looking women, specifically

[Kate!]

I like them all but Chris should be first boot

[AnnieK]

Ella seems cute and am sure she'll settle down, she was really nervous.

They are ripping through these entrances though....wish we had more time to see them all interacting

[Niamh.]

My sweepstakevis next, who's even left?

[Maru]

I like them all really.
Who knows what the house will do to them though.

Yeah they seem pretty harmless on their own. But they're celebrities so... the cracks will show up eventually.

[Benjamin]

I like them all really.
Who knows what the house will do to them though.

Yeah, it seems like a strong cast so far.

[Strictly Jake]

I swear I saw Vanessa

I keep looking out for a white coat and grey hat but haven't seen anyone matching that description

[Zizu]

I like them all really.
Who knows what the house will do to them though.


The ACE of the pack is coming soon

[Benjamin]

I keep looking out for a white coat and grey hat but haven't seen anyone matching that description

She’s the secret 13th housemate. In a limo waiting to enter. Why we can’t see her

[Ammi]

[Kate!]

I'm convinced I saw her

[Zizu]

My sweepstakevis next, who's even left?

[Zizu]

There's been a good few good looking female BB winners


As the last series showed but she was far more than a beautiful face


Loads of beauties have gone first or second eviction

[Crimson Dynamo]

Security will have removed Ness by now. You cant continually shout "'Tory scum touch my bum" to Fabricant and not expect punishment

It's 2025

[Ammi]

maybe she caught whiff of Luke Friend downstream

…:laugh:…

[Kate!]

[Crimson Dynamo]

A proper legend

[Maru]

Some of them seem really chill

[Kate!]

Ness is so gonna get Mickey as her sweep

[Zizu]

Seems like a nice bloke, but just dont see him getting very far


He was super , super famous and popular in his day

Maybe too long ago

Always presented as a real nice guy

[Benjamin]

Oh for the love of God. A has been.

You’re very negative tonight :laugh:

[Ammi]

Ness is so gonna get Mickey as her sweep

…I think she’ll get Danny Beard as they’re a late entry…

[Iceman]

He seems lovely to be fair

[Benjamin]

Ness is so gonna get Mickey as her sweep

Nah I reckon Danny beard

[arista]

Good Live Feed is back

Donna seems lovely

[Ammi]

[Benjamin]

What is she in?

[Iceman]

What's she been in?

[Ammi]

…I’m not familiar with Donna Preston either…

[bots]

don't know her

[Benjamin]

…:laugh:…we need to watch more TV…

Nah we watch the good shows. ;)

[Maru]

…:laugh:…we need to watch more TV…

This is my "watch more TV" :laugh:

[Conzors]

Lol will was funny there

[joeysteele]

I'll reserve judgement but she could maybe be irritating.

[bots]

What is she in?

currently, red

[Swan]

…:laugh:…we need to watch more TV…

Looking at her wiki, she's not really been in much tbh

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donna_Preston

[Iceman]

Feel she's gonna be annoying

[Crimson Dynamo]

Bubbly

[Maru]

I'll reserve judgement but she could maybe be irritating.

Yeah giving her a chance is fair but not as keen so far...

[Zizu]

A nobody

[Benjamin]

Ahh she’s a comedienne and actress

[Kate!]

I think she'll be highly nominated

[Maru]

She seems more like an L&L guest and not an HM

[AnnieK]

The only thing I've seen her in is Hey Tracey with Joel Dommett....but it was rubbish

[Iceman]

Looking at her wiki, she's not really been in much tbh

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donna_Preston

Her role in Grimsby was Fat Grimsby Lass haha

[Benjamin]

She seems more like an L&L guest and not an HM

She actually was :laugh:

[Zizu]

"Look I'm an actress"...


An actor apparently

No idea why women are now actors rather than actresses

[Crimson Dynamo]

Get this one straight in the bin

[Benjamin]

I think she could be the first boot (Donna)

[Shaun]

she seems to have been in a fair few high-profile things but i can't say i've noticed her in any of them :skull: (Good Omens, Dead Boy Detectives, The Sandman)

[bots]

i dont know this lady either

[Benjamin]

Awww Angelica. I’ve not seen her in years!

[Zizu]

Like Angelica.
Nice interesting lady , beautiful face

[Maru]

Angelica Bell looks like someone who might've worked on a TV network in the US

[Swan]

Her role in Grimsby was Fat Grimsby Lass haha

Ive literally seen that film ages ago, and still dont remember her :joker:

[Crimson Dynamo]

i dont know this lady either

De

You know the rest

[Ammi]

…great frock Angelica, I love it…

[Strictly Jake]

I absolutely adore angelica. I grew up watching her. She's awesome.

[Kate!]

Angelica x

[Iceman]

That's very yellow

[Swan]

I absolutely adore angelica. I grew up watching her. She's awesome.

Yeah i remember her from when i was kid

[joeysteele]

She seems like she'll be an interesting housemate.

[Ammi]

…Angelica’s Dorothy shoes…:lovedup:…

[Conzors]

I LOVE Angelica!!!! Have done for years

[Benjamin]

i dont know this lady either

Was on Big Breakfast and presenter of CBBC in the noughties

[Maru]

She seems like she'll be an interesting housemate.

She seems genuine

[Benjamin]

Danny must be going in tonight then

[Crimson Dynamo]

2nd boot for sure

[Swan]

I like a lot of Mickey Rourke's work over the years, but im not sure someone like him will fair well in a UK based CBB setting. But who knows, this series is shaping up nicely so far

[Shaun]

adore Danny Beard but putting him in last over the other rumoured name is bizarre LOL (not gonna spoil it in case people care about spoilers)

[joeysteele]

She seems genuine

Yes, my thinking too

[Niamh.]

Daley seems OK,could be a bit boring though. Angelica seems fun and nice

[Benjamin]

2nd boot for sure

Who? Angelica? Nah, she’ll be there for a while. She’s a gem.

[Maru]

Woo hoo my order is 7 stops away

[Zizu]

Mickey Rourke soon !!!

He will just walk out though if he’s not liking the set up or vibe


Very interesting guy but a tad VOLATILE

Has an aggressive streak and doesn’t suffer fools gladly

He had a few professional boxing bouts just because he liked fighting he was fabulously wealthy at the time

[Zizu]

FFS

[Swan]

I really liked Danny on Late and Live last year

[Benjamin]

Love Danny

[Maru]

And here's the winner probably

[Shaun]

An obvious winner perhaps...

[Benjamin]

And here's the winner probably

Wouldn’t object to that

[Zizu]

Mickey Rourke will possibly deck this guy before the night is out .. even if it costs him his £1 million fee

[Ammi]

…goddamn that’s an entrance…:love:..

[Crimson Dynamo]

Wtf is this horror show??

[Glenn.]

Winner

[joeysteele]

Quite an entrance.

[Maru]

An obvious winner perhaps...

It does make it more interesting though if we're already feeling it

[Zizu]

Mickey Rourke will possibly deck this guy before the night is out .. even if it costs him his £1 million fee



Or be best mates with him ..

[Benjamin]

Wtf is this horror show??

One of the funniest drag queens to ever grace our screens

[Crimson Dynamo]

An aggressive male with white face?

Vile

[Glenn.]

I love it drag queens trigger

[Zizu]

An obvious winner perhaps...


Some will like some will detest

[bots]

Wtf is this horror show??

we are too old for this :joker:

[Kate!]

I like Danny. He could very well win.

[Benjamin]

we are too old for this :joker:

Too old for drag queens? They’re not a new thing. :laugh:

[Swan]

One of the funniest drag queens to ever grace our screens

I only know him from L&L last year but i really liked him, balanced opinions, and just an all round nice and funny guy

[Zizu]

Mickey Rourke may take one look at this freak and walk straight out ..

[joeysteele]

It's going to be a very lively series from this launch night
Good set of housemates

[Crimson Dynamo]

we are too old for this :joker:
He must be in his 40s tho?

[Glenn.]

Great housemates this year

[Zizu]

I only know him from L&L last year but i really liked him, balanced opinions, and just an all round nice and funny guy


I agree about his opinions being sound but he’s just too much for some of us

[Crimson Dynamo]

Mind you Pete Burns was great I guess

[Shaun]

Mickey Rourke in a conga line? good luck :skull:

[Conzors]

One of the funniest drag queens to ever grace our screens

Yah she’s one of my favs

[arista]

Mickey Rourke
may not like that

[Iceman]

No way is he doing that

[Benjamin]

I agree about his opinions being sound but he’s just too much for some of us

Tough

[Glenn.]

I agree about his opinions being sound but he’s just too much for some of us

Why is he too much?

[Maru]

Too old for drag queens? They’re not a new thing. :laugh:

Drag, like "actress", should just be a job, imo, not a personality... I just want to see the person, really, outside the antics... but it is a show so not quite the usual social barriers there... :shrug:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Wait IV seen him on late and Live?

[Zizu]

Mickey Rourke will set his sights on the cockney blonde ..

[AnnieK]

Danny :love:

[Maru]

Wait IV seen him on late and Live?

Yes they're one of the stronger guests

[Swan]

Clever giving him a Wrestlers (HHH) theme considering he was in The Wrester, which is a great song and film

[Zizu]

Why is he too much?


It’s really quite obvious tbh

[Crimson Dynamo]

He is pished

[arista]

Mickey
Likes Shepherds Pie

Cool Actor

[Benjamin]

Wait IV seen him on late and Live?

Danny beard? Yes. Was probs the best guest they had on last time.

[Kate!]

I think Mickey will walk

[Benjamin]

Who is MickeyRourke btw? :laugh:

[bots]

he is a proper celeb, stoned out of his box

[Glenn.]

It’s really quite obvious tbh

:joker: :joker: :joker:

Why though. What about him bothers you?

[Benjamin]

He’s a mess.

[Maru]

Oh yeah I know him now he was an ok guest as I recall

[Iceman]

I'd be surprised if he lasts more than 2 nights

[Zizu]

Shame Mickey had so much surgery years ago … maybe he will explain the thinking behind it ..

[Glenn.]

He’s gonna be a dick

[Crimson Dynamo]

Car

Crash

[AnnieK]

Not sure about Mickey...he seems a bit sleazy

[Swan]

He'll probably get chucked out :joker:

[arista]

Wait IV seen him on late and Live?


Yes he was/

[Iceman]

He's so creepy

[Strictly Jake]

Gosh he's gonna be messy
It could be brilliant

[Crimson Dynamo]

Bwahahahaha

[Benjamin]

I can’t get on board with him. I don’t think he’ll stay.

[Swan]

Yeah he wont last 5 mins

[Zizu]

Ella Ray may need a bodyguard..

[Strictly Jake]

He was gross with AJ then...

[Ammi]

Who is MickeyRourke btw? :laugh:

…he had that one hit wonder in the 90’s, I think…:fan:…

[Maru]

he is a proper celeb, stoned out of his box

Yeah I'm kinda worried he'll say or do something cringe... just a weird vibe there

[Benjamin]

AJ having to shove him in :laugh:

[Crimson Dynamo]

Check his laptop

[Oliver_W]

I'm getting Gary Busey vibes.

[Ammi]

He'll probably get chucked out :joker:

…I would say that’s a big possible…:laugh:…

[Benjamin]

Who is he though? :laugh:

[joeysteele]

I fear Mickey is going to be a mess in there.

[Iceman]

I haven't watched properly for years. Do they do late arrivals still

[Kate!]

He'll either walk or get kicked out

[Zizu]

He was gross with AJ then...


He could indeed be trouble.. with Ella .

[Niamh.]

Poor AJ lol

[Ammi]

…when he was in MAsked Singer, he was hot in the mask so took it off mid show…

[arista]

Not sure about Mickey...he seems a bit sleazy


He has had a Hard Run in Acting
Give him a chance

[Maru]

Oh he's the dude who beat up Chris Jericho lol

[Benjamin]

He has had a Hard Run in Acting
Give him a chance

Doesn’t excuse being sleazy

[Ammi]

Poor AJ lol

…and poor the ladies in the house, I was thinking…

[Niamh.]

Yeah I'm kinda worried he'll say or do something cringe... just a weird vibe there

Too late:laugh:

[Swan]

He's been great in some great films, but he's well known for his strange behaviour and being awkward to work with. I can't see him lasting past Friday

[arista]

I fear Mickey is going to be a mess in there.


No
He can hack it

[Strictly Jake]

I haven't watched properly for years. Do they do late arrivals still

No they haven't had any the past few series. The series aren't long enough, this is only 3 weeks

[Iceman]

No they haven't had any the past few series. The series aren't long enough, this is only 3 weeks

Ah gotcha. Thanks

[Strictly Jake]

I think mickey could walk out by tomorrow

[Zizu]

The used to be an extremely handsome guy and a fabulous actor ..

Something obviously went wrong ( drink / drugs ) and he went from this to the present

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250407/94122bea435355c3891dbfd9ed108c44.jpg

[Maru]

Too late:laugh:

Not long before his first warning then

[Zizu]

He has had a Hard Run in Acting
Give him a chance


A hard run in life !!

[Shaun]

all I think of re: Mickey tbh

IaYTmStwEOQ

Johnny Handsome is a criminally underrated film with him in.

[Niamh.]

Not long before his first warning then

He won't last long I think

[Maru]

all I think of re: Mickey tbh

IaYTmStwEOQ

:laugh::laugh:

[Zizu]

Johnny Handsome is a criminally underrated film with him in.


Rumble Fish was fabulous

As was Sin City

Imho

[Zizu]

They should all be very wary ..

[Maru]

His hat makes him look so much bigger than he actually is compared to the rest of the group

[Swan]

Dunno if anyone else caught it, but he said he's never seen the show before, i believe that too.

[Maru]

They should all be very wary ..

We all are and we're safely behind screens... and I'm across the pond...

[Maru]

Dunno if anyone else caught it, but he said he's never seen the show before, i believe that too.

There's not really a show like this in the US. Our reality is super manufactured and cliche'd.... will be interesting to see how Jojo responds to that because she probably thinks she's a reality veteran :laugh: (by comparison obviously)

[bots]

Mickey doesnt know what planet he is on

[Iceman]

Jesus he's off haha

[Benjamin]

I already dislike him

[NICKP]

Is there an instant eviction in that prize room? Cause Mickey can take that

[Zizu]

Notice that JoJo and the bearded woman have both been very quiet since MickeyR went in there ..

[Maru]

Ok well my package is delivered, excellent timing

[Strictly Jake]

Oh no why mickey in the prize room he won't know what's going on
