Zezi gets boot from host role (Merged)

[Arneldo]

BIG Brother’s Little Brother star Zezi Ifore has been given the boot from hosting duties, The Sun can reveal.

The 23-year-old has not impressed fans with her presenting style and they have clamoured for her to go in online forums.

Then she landed in hot water with show bosses after missing a show two weeks ago because she slept in.

Co-host George Lamb, 28, was forced to front the show alone.

After crunch talks, producers told Zezi on Thursday that her role would be reduced from this Monday.

She is now being relegated to recording segments for the show and will only appear in the studio on Sundays.

A show source said: “Zezi was just not cutting the mustard on BBLB. But the idea is that she’ll be out meeting housemates from the series and their family members.

“She just won’t be live in the studio every night. George will be going solo.”

The pair were drafted in as co-hosts after Dermot O’Leary, 35, quit to host X Factor.

:O

why..she seems fine as a host..i like it when two people host BBLB

[MrGaryy]

Good although I like her I think she's better at pre-recorded stuff.

[Shaun]

Hmm, I like her too but fair enough if she's unreliable.

[Jen]

I don't like her.... I Love George though...

[supernoodles!]

i dont mind her actually

[Loukas]

Good! I liked her, put faith in her, but she gave back a big old bag of s***! Bye Zezi i say get Caroline Flack as the host too!

[GlitterEyes]

I have never been a big fan of her so I will be happy to see her go. Things will run more smooth now hopefully.

[Annie]

Love how they mentioned the online forums

[Dan_]

I doubt we will be seeing her in any capacity next series.

[Lauren]

I'm glad, I wonder if this takes immediate effect though? "Role will be reduced" - gradually airing her out?

Hopefully neither her or George. Get sombody new in! I say get Ian Lee and Gemma from Big Ears.

[Feral]

Sure this will dent the ego!!!! DEMOTED!!!!

[JOSHUAH!]

NO!! Poor Zezi :( I love her shes great. She must be gutted

[Xander]

:(, I liked her, I really thought she was a good presenter, she didn't deserve the criticism she got and George avoided it all as I don't think he is that good of a presenter.

[LosersAreYou]

She was bl**dy awful as a presenter and extremley hideous to look at, good riddance time to move on.. I'm sure your all get over it..

The Sun has revealed that Big Brother’s Little Brother host, Zezi Ifore has been given the boot by bosses at the reality show.

This news follows upset and complaining by many Big Brother fans following Zezi’s poor presenting skills over the series so far. However, George Lamb will carry on presenting solo apart from on a Sunday when Zezi WILL be involved in the live show.

A show source said: “Zezi was just not cutting the mustard on BBLB. The idea is that she’ll be out meeting housemates from the series and their family members. She just won’t be live in the studio every night. George will be going solo.”

The news follows two weeks after Zezi failed to turn up for a live show after her alarm failed to go off and she missed a live show. The new BBLB changes will come into force on Monday, let us know how you feel about Zezi’s reduced presenting by commenting below!

Just get a mod to delete or merge the thread.

[andyman]

Great news :thumbs: and with bex gone.... Big brother is saved for the true REAL fans.

[stonedape]

This is the best news I've heard all day! Although I think the only way they could save that show is by axing their writers. Daft Vender? Cringeworthy.

[noahman]

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im sad now
well miss you ZeZi :(

[Rory]

:hello: Hiding behind the media to insult us, but we've definitely hit her back!

[CassetteFinger]

Ahh well. I prefered her to George as he's a boring ****.

[Riz]

IMO. George is worse then she is!..

[Spike]

No, I like Zezi and over the last week she improved alot
I think George is worse he doesn't bring fun to the show. I probably wont watch anymore

[Marc]

Her presenting 'abilities' were shocking, glad she's been given the boot.

[jonsep]

:colour::banana::dance::dance2::elephant:

[PrimaryObjective]

It's about time. But, the question is: Will they hire someone competent enough to do the job?

I fear they won't.

[BritneyMajorFan]

Bye Bye B*tch!

[dylissimo]

About time

[max]

yipeeeee:dance:

[_Tom_]

No! I loved her! :sad:

[Sam1994]

That's rubbish! She was the better presenter in it. :mad: She brought life to the show, and now it'll just be him droning on and on for half an hour. :sleep:

Agreed, can't say George on his own is much more of an incentive to watch.

It does take immediate effect. The article says she will be in the studio on a Sunday and presenting recorded bits for the rest of the week.

I quite like Zezi and other people were just starting to like her as well, even those initially doubting her. That thread on DS has a lot to answer for. They have obviously just seen the title and not the content. Its just a general BBLB discussion thread and they have noted Zezi's improvements time and time again.

Its time to ditch George at the end of the run and replace him with Caroline Flack :cheer2:

:joker: yep, even Chanel 4 would be struggling to find someone worse :whistle:

[likklemisss]
