In the past there have been too many celebs that simply say yes and want out asap, due to the fact that they get paid the same no matter how long they last. Why don't they offer a basic contract fee (which will be lost if they walk or better still mention walking) and more the longer they stay in. That will mix it up and stop the '' I wanna go home'' scenario. If they don't want to be there, stuff them. Its a show for the public not their bank balances.

They should also be under penalty clauses if they mention the I want to get out words and loose money if they refuse to do tasks or stage sit ins or the like. Get the bastards in, screw their heads up and make them give us entertainment. Otherwise stuff them. There will be more wanting to go in if they feel its a kind of competition like IAC, instead of a cosy stay in a plus apartment with other celebs that whinge and moan.

John McCririck was one of the worst ever to collect his fee for doing absolutely sweet FA.

And he probably rooked the bookies by betting on himself to be first out when he knew that he would arrange that!
