BIG Brother winner Brian Belo is suing the makers of The Only Way Is Essex - claiming they stole his idea for the ITV2 hit. The 2007 reality show champ was in the original pilot of the show. But he was axed before ITV commissioned the series - which had its highest ever audience of 1.3million on Wednesday.
He is suing his former manager and Lime Productions, which makes the show, for lost earnings of up to £100,000 a series.
Brian, 23, starred in the pilot - provisionally titled Totally Essex - alongside current stars Mark Wright, Sam Faiers, Kirk Norcross and Amy Childs, and three other pals Rachelle, Natalie and Chris who are not in TOWIE. The pilot opens with the gang larking about in a cushion fight before introducing themselves.
Brian says: "I'd say we have the best lifestyle of anyone in the entire country. The way we feel, it's like screw the recession, we want to have fun.
