Mohan jumps the gun on Big Brother
Wednesday May 21, 2003
Great excitement at the Sun yesterday after columnist Dominic Mohan got his grubby mitts on mugshots of the 12 Big Brother contestants. But readers lured in by the "exclusive" tag and the front-page headline - "Are these the Big Brother 12?", are in for a disappointment. The short answer, it seems, is no, as anyone who could be bothered to read Mohan's bizarre piece could probably have worked out for themselves. Despite the clandestine-sounding operation ("The call came at 11.15pm and a gruff voice spluttered down the phone: 'I have the names of all the Big Brother contestants'"), Monkey can "exclusively" reveal Mohan has been sold a pup. "They've been doing dummy runs with some of the applicants to check the camera positions and make sure everything works. That's what the Sun has been given. Dominic called yesterday and was told as much, but for some reason they've still decided to run it," says Monkey's man in the know.
