Daily Star signs up £100,000 Stuart
Quote:
Daily Star has signed up Big Brother evictee Stuart Wilson in an exclusive six figure deal.
It comes after the paper splashed on the wrong evictee when it said Shell Jubin was kicked out in the mid-week eviction, reports Media Guardian.
A Star spokesman said the incorrect splash, which appeared in Thursday's first edition, ran because the paper had been "spoofed" by its Big Brother contacts.
But he added that the Star had "had the last laugh" by landing the exclusive £100,000 deal, ahead of rival red tops, with Wilson, 20, who has said his ambition is to become a millionaire by the age of 30.
The deal is with the Star, the Star on Sunday and OK! magazine, for revelations of goings-on in the house, including Wilson's under-the-table sexual liaison with housemate Michelle Bass.
"Last night we were spoofed by our Big Brother sources but we can't be too harsh on them because we have got the Stu exclusive ahead of our rivals. The Daily Star has had the last laugh," the Star spokesman said.
One reason Wilson's story has fetched a high price is believed to be that the Desmond titles have yet to elicit the full story of the amorous duo's affair, despite a £125,000 exclusive deal with Bass last week.
Wilson also refused to divulge details of his relationship with Bass during last night's studio grilling by Big Brother's host, Davina McCall.
