[texbex]

[Fangz]

Ah yes, Children In Need, THE event for desperate celebrities in need of good PR.
Good thing I don't watch it, otherwise I'd be incredibly annoyed at Craig being on it.

[cc100]

Is this really what Craig wanted from BB?

Tin pot local TV?

hopefully they dont normally show norfolk on the bbc1 show. Well unless your unfortunate enough to live there then you'll be stuck with Craigs glaring face.

[texbex]

I dont think thats very fair to Craig I dont see how u ppl hate him he is doing his bit for charity thats all he isnt trying to sculpt a career out of appearin on a charity show cos that wud be plain selfish,Craig is a good lad and knows that his fans are kind,supportive and dont post mindless comments like sum of u I am looking 4ward to him comin on CIN and u shud b 2!

[Corkie]

yeah i suppose he was a good housemate and im sure he will try and help

[jrc]

A good housemate? If a good housemate entrails constantly trying to molest someone that just doesn't want to change his sexuality, crying every time someone sneezes at you and picking your nose and wiping it on the furniture, then yes, I agree, Craig was a brilliant housemate!

[Corkie]

i didnt like him he was entertaining that what i call a true housemate

[*PlayGirl*]

Oh ma dayz .. Craig on CIN? That's just what they need .. a whiny bunny boiler to put a dampener on the whole evening. I was looking forward to wtaching that as well ...

Texbex, just to let you know, text speak isn't allowed on this forum.

How do you know all this about Craig being a good guy etc., etc. Do you know him? (seriously, I'm not being sarcastic, it is a genuine question). I don't hate Craig, but based on what we saw of him in the house, I think he is a spiteful, selfish, whinging spoilt brat, and not the sort of person I'd want to see on Children In Need.

[jrc]

Thinking about it, he's perfect for children in need. He's a big child, and he's in need of a good slapping!

[Corkie]

the children were trying to help are getting a good slapping form the carers thats what this is all about

[*PlayGirl*]

Amen jrc!

[Corkie]

He will answer questions about his part in the television show and his career since being voted out by the public.

craig IS a child in need lol

[Babydoll456]

what is funny about craig going on children in need , personally i think that is a good thing

[dizzy bint]

Craig apparently did some stuff for Radio Norfolk, but has not appeared on the tv. I am in the Look East area.

The belief that Craig would appear on the tv and host the Look East pieces seems to have been widely believed on the internet, despite the fact that those of us who live in the area correctly asserted that the regular presenters would do it, as always.
