eeeeewwww

She's Linford in drag. Possible bitch... like her.

Former Miss England set for Big Brother..
 

The controversial former Miss England who was stripped of her title after a nightclub brawl with a love rival has been revealed as a contestant in the final series of Big Brother.
Linford Christie's niece Rachel, 21, will be one of the final housemates to enter the Big Brother house when the Channel 4 programme starts next week.
According to the News of the World, a Big Brother source described Miss Christie as the 'perfect housemate.'
'She's sexy, sassy and with a real life story to tell.'
'Rachel is no stranger to controversy. We think she will help make the final series unmissable television.'

The aspiring Olympian was the first black woman to take the Miss England title, but four months later had to relinquish the crown after she was arrested on suspicion of assault.
She allegedly fought with Miss Manchester Sara Beverley Jones over TV Gladiator David McIntosh in November last year.
No charges were ever laid against the beauty queen, who revealed earlier this year that she was 'angry and disappointed' with herself.'
'I let myself down, my family, all these people who had such high hopes,' she said.
But now she hopes to redeem herself in the public eye with her appearance on the popular reality TV show which draws to a close this year after catapulting many unknowns into the world of celebrity.
Miss Christie hopes to follow in the footsteps of her Olympian uncle by competing in the 2012 London games in the heptathlon and the 400m women's team event.
She apologised for her behaviour when she lost her Miss England crown, saying she had lot of people down.
'I regret ever going to the club that night,' Rachel said in January. 'So many people helped me prepare for Miss World and I let everybody down.
Brief reign: Rachel as Miss England 2009 with Katrina Hodge, who has since been awarded the title
'It keeps dawning on me what's happened. It's a horrible, horrible feeling. I'm just so angry and disappointed with myself. I know I made a mistake but it's been made out to look like something it wasn't.'

Violence was never far from Rachel's youth. Her father Russell's life was one of drugs, crime and jail, and at Christmas 1996, when Rachel was eight, he was fatally stabbed in a fight over cocaine.
'I'd hate to think that people will think, "like father like daughter,"' she said.
Redemption: Miss Christie wants to make her family proud again
'I couldn't face my family after I was arrested,' she added. 'I stayed in Manchester for two weeks. I was so ashamed.
'It is hard but I have to come back from this. There must be something I can do to make my family proud again.'
The final series of Big Brother airs from June 9.

Meh.. at first I was like.. ooo give her the benefit of the doubt.. she is black.. (a lot of the black girls on Big Brother have been bitchy and that) However.. she is going on BB to "redeem herself" arghhhh she is not going to be "nice" and "boring" is she????? Mmmmmmmm.....

Here she is..

http://i.thisislondon.co.uk/i/pix/20...ie-415x275.jpg

Had a quick look earlier and can't find anything about it.

Thanks Harry and Arista.... ADMIN please can you merge if you are out there!! :joker:

Yes Bitch Slappers
Needed.

This. Was thinking of giving her the benefit of the doubt.. but NO!! It is the last series.. so f uck giving people the benefit of the doubt! done that for 10 years!!

When I look at her.. she looks like she will be boring.. she said she wants to "redeem" herself after all. She might be similar to Noirin last year.

Please scrap the model types.. by the way.. this Rachel is pretty.. but there are plenty more pretty/attractive people who are NOT even models!!

Last year was full of fags, chavs and wannabe wags!! don't want the same for this year please!

How do you know? I did say though.. that the black girls who have been on BB have been bitchy and that... well apart from Alison Hammond.. but nah she said she is going in to "redeem" herself. Booooooooooooooooooring.

Of course she can go on Celeb BB. Katia and Alex Reid went on BB because they shagged someone famous.. this Rachel became.. well not well known.. but known in her own right.. the "Miss England" title... she is more of a celeb now than what Katia and Alex were before they went in celeb BB.

I second that!

Put aside that her celebrity status should disqualify her - she doesn't even seem very interesting.
Someone mentioned she has all the potential of another Boirin and once was enough I say.

Come on guys we are all bb fans here right, some more passionate than others (El Proximo), and who have probably been there from the start, so haven't we learnt anything yet from bb not to judge a book from it's cover! So she's the same 'colouring' as Charley and has been in some sort of scuff doesn't mean she's a Charley, or she's the same 'colouring' as Norin and has done modelling so she must be boring or a tease! Come on peeps we are better than that. Yeah bb is not what it once was to us true fans but lets try and read between the bb orchestrating and soap lines to see characters for what that really are and that is not possible until bb really starts!

When just given superficial photos people do tend to imagine the person is similar to...[name most similar looking former HM]...but in this case they do look similar and not just colouring.

See.. the problem is that BB actually DOES tend to enter 'types'. It would be reasonable to expect they do enter the next 'Boirin' and it will be because she is a haughty 'model' who is dull and will work for 'relationship' angles. BB really does do this.
So fans are not far out of line to actually expect this. In regular life you would not. In BB you would.

But I don't see this one as a Charley at all. They don't look alike or seem the same type of personality at all. I agree with you the only think they seem to have in common might be skin tones.
Charley ruled.
Boirin was disgusting.

Oh my God!!!

She was the girl in my dream! I swear she was..
(my thread says late twenties but she looked like that girl in the pic - who looks 25, not 21)

This person claims they dreamt of this girl going into the BB house and also winning!!!!!

(She probably will win if she goes in the house to "redeem" herself, I do think it is good she is training for the 2012 olympics but.. mmm.. just want entertaining housemates please!)

slut

Hey El Proximo:xyxwave: Well I don't, then again I'm not the norm. But going on resemblance, to me she looks most like that nasty piece of work that was Alex! And if I HAD to pick a most like character, I would say Grace!

The thing is in regular life people do and in bb stereotypes are really only initial then get dismissed as we get to know the character, and this is what all us bb fans should know, well I thought so at least. Given there's no bloody 24/7 live feed bb are left to feed those hungry to be proven right on the first stereotypical impression (and various other reasons). That's what bugs me about later bb's, a perfect opportunity for people to learn but most fall victim to bb's orchestrating, like poor Shree.

Yeah Norin showed herself up in the end, when I had just thought up to that point she was misunderstood, and Charley, well couldn't stand her, too much in love with herself and completely delusional, but she was great tv! Ohhhh getting excited now I love it :dance:

Aghhhh! You know.. there kinda is a little similarity now that you mention it and that is plain scary!
I think the difference for me is that this girl has a look (as in facial expressions) more like a 'sexy model' (who knows it) and even a little hint of privilege or entitlement (reminding me of Boirin),
versus,
Alex had a nasty scowl and high-intensity hyper-defensive attitude stretched across her face.

But yeah.. haha.. a little bit yes.

Oh.. who was the other... who sided with Alex?
Name escapes me?
Wow.... there was a girl absolutely BEAUTIFUL in every feature and she was one that I called all wrong based on looks - I thought she would be the 'BB Sweetheart',
but,
she became friends with Alex and was really just a dull and apathetic do-nothing with a bad attitude.
Oh?
Can't think of her name but she got a massive booing too lol

Yes yes I agree, spot on with the expression, that's why I said Grace, she was extremely cocky much more so than Noirin, and yeah this woman has that very pose you mention!

Syliva follow fashion gal, but yes she was very pretty.

Sylvia yes thanks! Oh wow.. there was where looks were deceiving. She was so pretty and at first glance I pegged her the 'BB Sweetheart' and uhh... ya she turned out to be very unfriendly and had a really 'nothing' personality.

The funny thing though.. I don't remember her being a model, wannabe model or wannabe celeb and yet she really did have the looks and body for it. Then again I suppose she probably WAS in it for the magazine deal after all?

Oh lord, you are taking this too seriously....

She reminds me of charley a little bit.

Well he was just defending his point in reply to me and he does have one, just allow it, us hardcore bb followers from day 1 are pretty deep so sorry :wink:

I'm going to 'serious you' in a minute if you don't watch it!

And no.. I won't be leaving all the fans here on TiBB.
