WEEKS ago they were among the most talked about people on telly. But celebrity is a fickle world.

Now that Big Brother is no longer watching their every tear and tantrum, we decided to find out how far this year's ex-housemates are managing to stretch their 15 minutes back in the real world.

Armed with a list of fake events and a blank chequebook, we contacted their agents with some bogus bookings.


Here we reveal the price they put on the fading z-listers' heads - and just how easy it was to barter them down...


SHAHBAZ CHAUHDRY


IT all got too much for Shahbaz, 37, who walked out of the Big Brother house after just six days. But he was still well up for a personal appearance at a cheesy Glasgow nightclub, just as long as his fee - £1,000 for two hours - was "cash up front."


"How soon do you want me to do it?" trilled the man himself. "I can get the TV cameras up as well. How good would that be? It would be televised!


"I have my own original songs I'd like to perform so I will need to do a soundcheck. I get the DJ to be Big Brother for the night and he sets me tasks.


"I'm worth the money. People are realising now they've launched a star. I'm actually multi-talented.


"As far as what's backstage, I'm so not a diva! Can I make up a little guest-list? Keep the food all vegetarian, some champagne. Fresh orange or apple juice. Bottled water - sorry, but it must be at room temperature, not cold.


"Oh, and cash up front please. Cash up front."


SEZER YURTSEVEN


BOOTED out in week two, his time in the limelight has been overshadowed by an allegation that he date-raped a glamour model.


Sezer, 26, protests his innocence and is on police bail until next month, so he'd be free to open a secondhand car dealership in Slough.


It would cost £2,000 an hour for him to open the salesroom and pose for photos with biMni-clad models. Oh, and he'd like refreshments, "even if it's just Ritz Crackers".


GRACE ADAMS-SHORT


BOOED off in week four, we asked if the 20-year-old coquette might like to attend the launch of Flirtations - a singles night in London.


Her fee is £1,500 for 90 minutes. Plus £250 for "personal security".


Her agent says: "If she's enjoying herself she'll stay for more than an hour and a half. She usually brings a couple of guests along with her as well. As far as food goes... sausages on sticks and cheesy Wotsits will be fine." What a bargain!


NIKKI GRAHAME


WE asked tantrum queen Nikki, 24, evicted in week eight, to attend the 18th birthday bash of a wealthy property developer who is also a huge Big Brother fan.


It would cost us £3,000 for an hour - that's for Nikki to turn up, sign autographs, have pictures taken and do a question-and-answer session. Oh and she might like to bring her mates along, too.


Her agent said: "People can feel awkward going to a party if they don't know anybody."


LISA HUO


WE thought the gobby 27-year-old Mancunian, evicted in week five, would liven things up as host of a charity auction at a local IT firm's party. But her agent thought otherwise.


Apart from Lisa costing us £1,750 for 90 minutes' work, the agent warned:


"I don't know if she'd be any good at it. All the effing and jeffing could offend a lot of the audience. It just doesn't work.


"She's not an actress and not great on a mic. You someone a more capable.


"Would you not prefer Corrie star? Keith Duffy i a charming gentleman..." Doh!


LEA WALKER


WHO better than the mega-boobed ex-porn star, 35, who was evicted in week seven, to open a new beauty salon, Beauty-licious, in Newcastle?


Her agent wanted £5,000 but agreed to the knockdown price of £1,000 for an hour - plus a few beauty treatments, travel expenses and some crisps thrown in.


We were told: "If it's lunchtime or dinnertime then if you could have some food for her there so she doesn't faint. But nothing fancy just soi sandwiches and crisps would fine. She's a lovely lady - not a prima donna."


JAYNE KITT


THE larger-than-life housemate was booted out in week nine after being unable to keep her trap shut. So how much it would cost for Jayne, 36, to attend the launch of a new weight-loss club, Slim 'N' Trim? Turns out it's not such a hefty amount after all....


The reply was: "£1,000 an hour. "For that she'll come along, do a press call, pictures for local press, autograph signings, speak to a few people, give a little talk about herself and her battle with the weight."

I THINK I'D RATHER PAY SOME OF THEM TO STAY AWAY!
