Fungi from Benefits Street had talks with Channel 5
 

Apparently, Fungi from Benefits Street has had talks with Channel 5 over Celebrity Big Brother. I'm not sure if this is his twitter, but his last post was on 5th June-

https://twitter.com/Fungi_Bham

One tweet said: 'Might be going on Big Brother, RT if you would like to see me on it' (in abbreviations of course) and another said 'Talked with Channel 5 today, look out :)'

Is this who we're passing for a celebrity these days?

how low CBB has fallen just look at the cast of CBB4 and CBB6 compared to the celebrities weave had lately

What a joke

a) No chance
b) Also no chance
c) Is that even a real Twitter acount :umm2:

As if that twat would have a twitter a/c he lives for the next 'can'

He looks like a pissed up hobo in his picture, I'm sure he was half cut when he was tweeting.

That was before/during Benefits Street.

More like an attention seeker

oh no, please no one from a benefits programme, thats a new low.

And he's had Twitter since 2010 so it isn't a piss take account.

:umm2:

If she was more famous, that Zara from Benefits Britain: Life on the Dole would be good.

It could have easily been something else before changing into a piss take account :umm2:

Someone on benefits is classed as a celebrity? :umm2:

Yes! I liked her she had been through quite a lot but you can't fault the girls loyalty.

Oh and no thnx to Fungai going in, he will just be like that Bez thing that won a few years ago.

Nine and a half :umm2:

No Benefits housemates plz, it would just make people think that if you are on Benefits you could be famous in someone way it's ridiculous

I really liked her tbh, I'd love her to go on

Also no @ everyone now thinking that the term 'benefits' just applies to people who don't wash and have funny accents

Forgive me, I never saw it as it went out, I have only seen bits online :D

I'm not sure I would pull for her when there are some people I would rather see like Natalie Nunn, Nicole Richie or one of the real housewives BUT if C5 want somebody of the sort I would rather Zara or Black Dee.

Anyway, that account is an awful floppy fake

/thread

Rumoured HMs include:


White Dee (Benefits Street)
Conchita (Eurovision)
Steph and Dom (Gogglebox)
George (Gogglebox)
Stephanie Pratt (Spencer Pratts Sister / The Hills)
Mr. T (The A Team)
Gary Busey (ex-Hollywood star)
Katie Hopkins (Big mouthed b****)


I'm sure there's more but these are the names I continue to see pop up around every now and then.. If this is likely to be the lineup, which let's face it, well probably get one off the list, if that, it seems odd that so many of the personalities are in TV and Film, not a large mix of characters when you consider there's maybe what 10-12 HM??

I also think the definition of 'Celebrity' has evolved. Basically if you've done anything on TV and people have seen it, you're a celebrity. But it's not like they can call it 'Ego Big Brother' or 'Personality Big Brother'

I just hope we get a legendary star.. Winter CBB did so well because of the wide range of audiences. Look at Dappys fan base compared with Lionel Blairs or Jim Davidsons or even Lee Ryan's! The fact that they chose HMs who already have such a large following was clever, I imagine every girl my age would have gone crazy to hear Lee ryan was on the show!

I think with shows like Benefits Street and Gogglebox, although the cast may be excellent choices.. The fact that it's been off air for so long is likely to attract a smaller audience than if their shows had recently finished before CBB begins.. I think CBB producers really need to think logically about the summer series if they want an improvement on the last summer series and an improvement on the current BB series!

I said /thread :fist:

And when was Mr. T mentioned (other than in elliebrew's posts)?

tbh what does /thread mean

/thread
This gets used on messageboards / forums to signify that the previous post (or a post that has been quoted) is either of such high standard / very useful and answers the question of the original post / owns someone that the thread cannot possibly contain any post that's better.

then why were you using it:smug:

OHH GURLLL :hehe:

Because that account is an awful floppy fake :umm2:

I've seen it on a BB twitter page.. I can't quite remember who as I follow so many, however I'm 100% sure it IS NOT the one that Elliebrew uses! I don't follow that account!

Wait.. Elliebrew or me?? :shrug:

If it's one that's called OfficialBB2014SecretsUKExclusive123 or something then nah

The Twitter account this thread is about :umm2:

Ahahaha, I love that that is probably a legitimate twitter page, no I go for more reputable sources like BBspy! And it certainly WAS NOT BBXtra! Now that's the pipe source where all the sh** comes from!

now /thread

Oh and I was referring to the Benefits guy's Twitter but okay :smug:
