I think I'd be crying if I were stuck on an island with Rebecca Loos, Abi Titmuss and Calum Best!

[Mike]

Not only is the show rubbish but its been timed completely wrong, i mean how can they expect to get any viewers when BB starts just over a week later, seems stupid to me..

[cc100]

[Blink_Me]

The only one I like in there as a person is Lee Sharpe.

[cc100]

Im actually starting to like it now. That Liz seems like a nice lass

[Mike]

Despite the show not being anything special ive still been watching it and i must admit its starting to get a bit better, unfortunately though BB will take my TV over on Friday.

[cc100]

yeah. When itsa on the same time, I shall not watch it.

[BB-Emi_Lou-BB]

I think it is absoloute rubbish but i still find myself watching it but when BB returns that is all i will be watching. Im hating that paul guy in it though he fancies everything with two legs.

[BusyBee]

Watch any ratings they may have drop from Friday onwards. Wonder if they will keep it on or will it see the same outcome as Celebrity Wrestling

[cc100]

did you hear titmuss say she wants to be an actress!!

i think liz is getting a hard time. for me, shes the only normal gal there
===================

[cc100]

OK, from the loveisland website...

"Dangerous Danan’s gone and done it, and is booted out of the villa by Security tonight!

As you read, Paul is settling down for a night in the Beach Hut and the decision will be made in the morning (Fiji time) as to whether he will be allowed back into the villa!

We all saw it coming, and the situation has escalated all day, with a lot of Paul’s paranoia being pointed towards Fran.

But when Paul decides to climb into Abi’s empty bed, Fran gives him a piece of his mind and turfs him out.

The pair continue to square up to each other and when Lee steps in to try and calm the situation down, Security are sent in!

But passionate Paul is soon sent to bed and it all seems quiet for a moment.

But it’s merely the calm before the storm, and when Paul decides to get up again, security remove him from the villa as the rest of the gang no longer feel safe in the same bedroom!

[BusyBee]

Anyone know how this is doing in the ratings now that BB has started.

[cc100]

yeah, when its not against bb, say when its on at 9pm, its in a groove of around 4million, but when its up against bb it gets average of around 2.2million.

[InTheHood]

It's crap, but Titmuss is fit as

[Mike]

Shes not the only fit one there mate...

[xxxrachelxxx2045]

EXCLUSIVE: IS THIS MAN THE BIGGEST BERK ON THE BOX?


HE has fallen out with most of the men on Celebrity Love Island and has fallen for half the women.

Paul Danan is having serious problems coping with being a castaway on the ITV reality show...



He was forced to grovel after a drunken bust-up with Fran Cosgrave and warned he'd be sent home if he touched another drop of booze.

His shabby treatment of Lady Isabella Hervey led her to label him a "w****r".

Even before he arrived at the resort, he made a prat of himself by splashing out on countless pairs of sunglasses.

It seems Paul's bid to resurrect his career on the show is backfiring spectacularly. So is this the biggest berk on the box?

Well, not according to one fan - his mum Beverley. Speaking from her home in Chigwell, Essex, last night, she said that everyone is taking it too seriously.

"Paul's just being himself. It's light-hearted and he's having a great time. We're just laughing about it.

"We're proud of him. I know he can't drink. He doesn't drink. He's just being the most honest anyone could be. Paul is a good kid who's out there for the experience. He's having the most brilliant time and is just playing up for the cameras. Paul is enjoying every minute."

The proud 52-year-old added: "A lot of the celebrities are being very guarded. But Paul doesn't care - he has no fear. He's had a lot of stick but he copes with it."

B EVERLEY said that Paul's a "very loving person" and doesn't have a bad bone in his body - he certainly isn't malicious or nasty.

"People who care about him know the truth. With all the horrible things going on in the world, I feel sorry for those people who think this show is real-life."

So who is the former Hollyoaks star and why does the 26-year-old seem intent on blowing his big chance? His friends are less than impressed by his antics, saying the actor is just being true to form.

"He's being himself but, unfortunately, is coming across as a prat," says one friend. "It's typical behaviour - he's very highly strung. But he's not a teenager any more, even though he's acting like one."

The insider believes Paul is too desperate for success.

"He's determined and ambitious but he also has an incredibly high opinion of himself. He has a chip on his shoulder about being known as 'the guy who used to be in Hollyoaks'. He also thinks it's important to move in the right circles."

Unfortunately, his desire to mix with the rich and famous has led to a string of embarrassing incidents.

Two years ago, Paul was turned away by bouncers when he tried to gatecrash a VIP party where Cameron Diaz was sipping bubbly.

Desperate Paul claimed he knew the actress through mutual friends he met during his bid to crack Hollywood. But security staff at the premiere of Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle were so concerned they assigned someone to watch him.

"He is obsessed with Cameron and thinks he stands a chance with her," says another friend. "He once sent her a handbag in a bid to get to know her but it clearly didn't work."

In December last year, he was spotted trailing after former S Club singer Tina Barrett "like a lapdog" at a bash at London's Met bar. She wasn't interested either.

At the Cannes film festival in 2002, he failed to charm actress Christina Ricci by pointing at her bottom and shouting: "It's perfect - I've got to go and chat her up."

And in 2001, he had to be dragged out of the Elle Style Awards after having too much to drink and stumbling around annoying guests.

When Playboy model Nikki Ziering arrived on the island at the weekend, he was desperate to know how Jennifer Aniston, Cameron and Justin Timberlake were doing, as if they were the best of pals.

An embarrassed Calum Best whispered: "Oh my God, that is degrading." It appears that Paul - who played Sol Patrick in C4's Hollyoaks - has two weaknesses: booze and women. Both have tripped him up during his stay in Fiji...

He flirted shamelessly with Isabella, 23, for three weeks but by the time she responded, he'd turned his attention to glam Nikki.

Furious Isabella blasted: "You're fickle and false! You have no respect for anyone. You are too up yourself." Charming Paul branded her frigid.

O NE TV insider told The Mirror: "We've been shocked by his erratic behaviour." That has been fuelled by boozing, something he was ordered to stop by show bosses.

Paul told the celebs: "I've quit drinking. If I dare to touch a sip of anything, that's my eviction. I should have done it ages ago. It just doesn't agree with me."

Paul is desperate not to blow this chance. He had high hopes of success when he quit Hollyoaks after three-and-a-half years and headed for Hollywood.

He co-starred with Kate Moss in an ad for Rimmel make-up. But his bid to make it big flopped and stints on Channel 4's The Priory, MTV and two low-budget films followed.

He hasn't had much luck with the ladies either. He was engaged to record company exec Rachel Weaver but they split two years ago.

And Paul claims he has only ever had two other serious relationships. "He was with Rachel - a very pretty girl - for a long while but they broke up," says a family friend. "Sadly, Paul's a complete hot-head.

"This could have been his chance. People make a lot of money through reality TV shows but this may be the kiss of death for his career."

Then again, Paul's father Danny, who runs a shop selling fridges in East London, believes his son is doing well on the island.

"He's not acting - that's the way he is. As far as the ladies there are concerned, he's like a rabbit in a field - he doesn't know which way to go.

"He's enjoying himself and he's a lovely lad. There's not an ounce of bad in his body."

DANAN on grasshoppers.. "They want to jump on me. I can feel them

DANAN on SEX.. ""Abi, if we went in the Love Shack together, it'll be doggy all the way

DANAN on the media.. "I wish the government could sort out the way we are getting portrayed because it's not fair, man!"

DANAN on birds.. """I haven''t seen any birds. Is it that birds don''t come over to such hot places, maybe?"

Celebrity Love Island leads Big Brother in reality TV battle

Brand Republic 9 Jun 2005 http://www.brandrepublic.com/bulleti...ity-tv-battle/

LONDON - ITV's 'Celebrity Love Island' won the ratings war with 'Big Brother' last night by attracting an extra 200,000 viewers as the appeal of beachside antics take over from housemate brawls and bitching.

'Celebrity Love Island' drew in 3.6m viewers with 'Big Brother' averaging 3.4m across the equivalent time slot. This gave ITV1 a 17.5% share at 10pm compared with Channel 4, which averaged 200,000 fewer viewers. ITV had a 25% share of the all important 16-34 demographic up 6.1 points.

In 'Celebrity Love Island', former 'Hollyoaks' actor Paul Danan and Playboy pin-up Nikki Ziering spent four minutes of "quality time" together in the toilets last night, made infamous by Calum Best and Rebecca Loos who spent 18 minutes in there last week.

ITV is planning to set pulses racing among the girls, after Zeiring's surprise arrival to the Fijian island, with Australian surfing champion Paul Fisher set to join the group today.

Abi Titmuss has cheered up after fearing no one liked her, by being voted into the Love Shack with former Manchester United footballer Lee Sharpe, who had sent her a postcard from the secluded beach retreat saying "not the same without you," to which Abi replied, "We're going to have some fun."

Sharpe and Ziering's time on the Love Shack did not go to plan with the model refusing to go snorkelling in case it ruined her hair and dragging Sharpe around the shops in her quest for a new bikini
