Naught of me to repeat this ... but I do love a bit of a gossip ...

I guarantee that if John James was getting as much attention in Australia as he is here, we wouldn't see him for dust! Sadly the Aussies seem to be far more discerning about who they elevate to celebrity status than the Brits
As for Ben, it's great that his career is taking off. I love that he doesn't turn up to the opening of an envelope, like the rest of the BB desperadoes, and is actually concentrating on furthering his broadcasting and presenting projects.
