Default Expert quits

A PROFESSOR working as a consultant to the show QUIT last night — claiming producers ignored his warnings about possible violence.

Criminologist David Wilson said he predicted that bringing Michelle and Emma back from the bedsit may cause conflict.

He said: “When I realised that advice hadn’t been listened to, I thought I should go. It seemed a great irony that all week people have been asking me about football hooligans on the Algarve, and here I was lending my name to something whereby there was hooligan-esque behaviour for our entertainment.”

Prof Wilson, of the University of Central England in Birmingham, added: “If hooliganism was wrong in Portugal, it was wrong in Big Brother.”

His decision came as police continued to look at video tapes of the brawl.

Bosses postponed last night’s eviction until next week following the huge bust-up on Wednesday night.

The news was met with hugs and cheers by most housemates.

She admitted: “I’d have been disappointed to have left after three weeks.”

Bosses now hope the housemates can work out their differences and restore order.

But Jason and Vanessa seemed to have made up later as they flirted while playing with an inflatable gym ball.

At one point she even straddled his lap.
