He has just put a Daily Mail article link and tweeted it on his official twitter page. Either he is pretending and teasing the people on is twitter, or it's a certainty he is going on?

An official confirmation? He quickly denied rumours on Twitter previous years.

[Josy]

Probably attention seeking.

What was the article?

I posted it. It was about him going for a run to get fitter to get ready for CBB.

He's after attention again.

[King Gizzard]

If you were going in you wouldn't publicly admit it I don't think

A handful of celebrities have before, and a few regular series HMs too, eg. Hazel and Daley, who already had followings.

[sampvt]

Attention seeking wannabee.

[Loukas]

Is he getting fit for the ladies? Will he be hitting out screens in January?

[Marsh.]

Someone can't handle Lee Ryan criticism.

Not doing well lately are they? Resorting to the Big Reunion, still, it gave them an extra 5 minutes.

Each to their own but this numpty is only going in because he needs the money and thrives on the adoration he might get from the show. Is he a nice guy, maybe, is he a deserved celeb, definitely not. Will he bring anything to the show, probably not as he will start off all smarmy and self absorbed and when he gets grief he will throw his dummy out. Hardly they type that makes the show tick. He is a plastic icon that has self absorbed tendancies which will surely end up sickly and boring.

I have seen him on several occasions on the tv and on every occasion he was so far up his own bottom it was pitiful.

That's what makes good entertainment lol

Ive actually met him back in 2010 and got to dance (badly) with him and Sophie Ellis Bextor (she was slightly up her own arse) on stage and hang out back stage for World Aids Day. He is not up his own arse at all, he was cheeky, funny and never acted like he was up his own arse.

You go from watching a few interviews I go from personal experience.

Everyone has bills to pay and if you're getting tv producers offering you thousands then you would be stupid to turn it down.

Its his job.

Explains why he's turned down offers for CBB before then

Maybe he didn't need the money back then?

Everyones finances change and we all struggle with cash.

[Marsh.]

Lmao. You missed the point of my post. It goes beyond money, he's fame hungry. That's what I laugh at.

If he was just after the financial security, he would've accepted the last time.

But you carry on ranting away.

Its both cash and celeb goes hand in hand.

When will people get over that the people who want to stay succesfull in the entertainment industry are not monsters.

They don't claim to not want fame ffs they know going on CBB isn't exactly good for their rep.

BTW last time he was asked im sure he was doing The Big Reunion.

[Z]

He's a twerp. A talented twerp, but a twerp all the same.

[Marsh.]

Where did I say anything about them wanting to be successful?

A successful musician/actor whatever it is gets fame and celebrity through their talents.

A fame ***** strives for fame regardless of any talent they may or may not have.

But he is still working using his talents.

They have just finished a headlining tour of China, Germany, Italy and the UK plus the Big Reunion tour and the new Big Reunion Christmas tour all based on talent.

Every celeb wants fame and if you think any different you are very naďve.

Where did I say "celebs" didn't?

I've distinguished between the two types, one I have respect for and the other I don't.

[Natalie.]

I'd like to see him in

[James]

I've delete some of the rude and insulting posts to other members. No need for that.

Having 'big names' on Celeb Big Brother doesn't make the show any better, unless you're an actual fan of the celebrity and want to see what that person is really like.

All having stars would do is maybe get some extra people to watch, and even that is debatable when you look at the lack of star-power that Strictly and I'm a Celeb had this year, and the ratings those shows got.

Exactly. Let's compare CBB10 and CBB11. I know CBB10 was in the summer and would have less viewers, but they had a much better overall cast than CBB11. Also look at the final week of CBB11, apart from Speidi and the Rylan row, there was NOTHING going on, however, the week increased in ratings and the final was the highest rated final of any BB series on Channel 5 despite the obvious winner.

Even if you can't compare the summer with the winter, lets compare CBB9 and CBB11 which were both on in the winter... CBB9 was a better series, better HMs, better finalists and often regarded a classic, but CBB11 still beat it.

I think what this means is that you can't really observe quality with ratings any more. You could have an incredible series that could rate low, or a poor one which happens to rate highly. I don't really know what happens to the ratings sometimes. It's a little unexpected. God knows what we are looking at this year, an average of under 2m or an average of over 3m. You just never know.

He's a bit of a twat and suffers from foot in mouth.

I think he'll be a good hm.

But would he be like that on the show? Controversial people tend to be boring once they go in the House.
