Apart from Ben, who else is taking part?

My only requirement would be that he lasts the whole night!

Oh don't worry, I'm sure he has plenty of stamina

Twitter is making quite amusing reading, a lot of the JJJ fans are campaigning for a BB11 Coach Trip special, yes seriously, they even have a petition for it that some of them have signed But of course they only want John James, Josie, Sam Pepper, JJ, Dave and Mario. So the people who JJJ bum lickers obviously. Must be so galling for them to see Ben get another reality show so soon

Haven't been on Twitter for a while, so will have to catch up with the gossip. It just goes to show that Ben doesn't need to go scratching around for PAs in dingy clubs and bars - his star is rising while no-one will remember the likes of JJJ & cronies this time next year. Sadly Sam Pepper, who had so much potential, is turning into one of the JJJ bum lickers himself.

Maybe you'll alert us to the fact if Mario ever gets anywhere at all ... ?

(Not counting Southend ... finishing where you started doesn't count ... )

We'll be waiting to put out the flags when something happens ...


(Oh don't you worry ... we are dealing with it ... ! )

If you can't take it don't dish it out Mario would think he'd died and gone to heaven if he got so much as a sniff of any media attention - but since he is a talentless, bitter, twisted little twat that'll never happen thankfully. He'll have to stick with his Blue Peter inspired "designer" clothes

Respect to you Malza. You have consistently supported Mario and done so really well. So what if mario hasn't had the after BB interest some of the others have had. He provided integrity, fun, cleverness and insight on BB11.

As for where he is now, I'd rather remember him with fondness as a hoousemate, than seeing him flogging whatever fading popularity the other desperate wannabees are touting. I think it's the katie Price syndrome, any publicity is validation, nothing interesting to say or offer, just exposure in the media, and for what?

Mario will be remembered for what he brought to the series, not for what he scrabbling around in a last ditch desperate attempt to be something and perhaps be friends with Kerry Katona......is all that crap worth it?????/
lol, of course not. let them have their moment in the scum, it'll be over soon enough, then it'll be Ben who????

Hmm, that's probably why Mario spends inordinate quantities of time up other failed BB HMs' arses The only thing of remote interest Mario brought to the series was his enlarged testicle which actually has more personality and charisma than its owner.

Mario brought nothing to the BB series, he wasn't particularly funny and his claim to fame is running around the house naked and lusting after the guys in there.

So much for Mario, Now to Ben who is a celebrity, he is well known by the public, he has a good following of fans and supporters who watch for and will be glued to all he does on TV,even if he does a radio interview,they are there too.

His celebrity status will grow because the people who became fans after his public time on BB will ensure demand for him and to see him continues.

The chat show idea has not to my knowledge been dismissed, there are still many things in the pipeline for him to decide doing.

He has taken time out to do this coach trip programme,now to be on the TV too, and I have no doubt he will be soon again on the TV, as his celebrity status becomes stronger in many areas both in a serious journalistic sense but also as to the entertainment sense.

Mario could only dream of such status and will have to settle to sit and stare in awe at Bens success.

Well to be fair none of the people on Celeb Coach Trip are exactly A list are they?

Well at least he made it onto another show, which is more than the mole ever will. How his is "career" going by the way? Is he still trying to become a fashion designer?

I still wonder why you guys start talking about Mario again, thought this is the place to discuss Ben, who seems to have become a Reality-TV-*****... (Wonder what to add next to his "brilliant" career... Maybe strictly dancing, oh forgot the glee task, his dancing was terrible)

But everywhere he appears his face screams "God I hate it, and I am so bored, but at last I am on TV"



I was laughing reading the Interview of Brendan Sheering

When Raef Bjayou and Ben Duncan arrive on the second day, they cause upset don't they?

"I think Raef or Ben doesn't know who Ingrid Tarrant is and they get it wrong. That, of course, goes down like a lead balloon. And Ben, you know, he never sees the light of day normally before noon. So getting him out of bed at six in the morning for breakfast and on the coach by seven is a nightmare. It was like, 'darling! I don't normally get up' and I was like, 'It's a coach tour and you will get up!' I had to go to his bedroom a few times. It was Raef who looked after him. He used to pack and take his stuff down to the coach. Ben would only ever make it with one minute to go and never made breakfast. Then he'd be moaning, 'Oh darling, why do all these people want to get up before 12 noon'. I was like, 'bloody hell, it's another world with you, dear!'"

Yeah, that was Ben as we know him from BB... Lazy, constantly moaning and letting other people do his stuff... What a hero

Ben is unique and that is his appeal, you dont get him which is fine, I doubt he would get you either.
Ben is a night owl, its not that he sleeps anymore than the usual...just different hours and if people are willing to do things for him welll thats good, he is obviously a guy who people love enough to do things for.
BTW Brendon and Ben like each other, in fact Ben was positively glowing in his praise about Brendon on Jo's radio show last night.
And yet again we hear other people....just like his fellow housemates did.....that Ben is fabulously funny and witty, seems everyone who comes into contact with him is smitten.

Clearly anyone who likes Mario is a poor judge of character so I will make allowances for that As to why we are mentioning Mario, perhaps its because YOU have come onto this thread with the sole purpose of having a pop at Ben, something your sad, deluded hero, Mario used to maliciously enjoy doing every chance he got. Now Mario is reduced to trying to create some interest in his sad little self on twitter, whilst the real celebs, like Ben, are actually out there getting media attention and work, and have no need to desperately "network" to get noticed. That must really get on Mario's tits.

Boy no resistance eh, still have to have your jibes! -

I hardly ever discuss M as I really don't care. Brendan and Ben actually got on really well and its only a gameshow......Before going into BB Ben was doing well and unlike other housemates he's kept his head down and the work is flowing in. He doesn't twitter desperately and do twitter cams or come on DS to tell his followers to buy him a parrot. So to put it bluntly he is the only one just getting on with his life and people are actually interested in him and seek him out.

Really looking forward to CCT.
