Georgina Baillie - Celebrity Big Brother approach [Daily Mail report] (and duplicate threads merged)
Quote:
Satanic Slut Georgina Baillie 'to appear on Celebrity Big Brother' as she ekes out 15 minutes
Big Brother bosses are lining up Georgina Baillie - the former lover of Russell Brand - to appear on the celebrity version of the show in the New Year.
Producers are trying to strike a deal with the wannabe actress, who was thrust into the limelight after Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross broadcast rude phone calls to her Fawlty Towers grandfather Andrew Sachs.
The calls to the 78-year-old's answerphone were aired on a BBC Radio 2 show and led to the resignation of Brand and a three-month suspension without pay for Ross. But, ironically, Ross will return to his BBC1 TV chat show at the end of January - the same time Celebrity Big Brother will begin.
A Big Brother source said: 'Georgina is top of the wish list. We couldn't have timed it better if we tried. It will guarantee Big Brother maximum publicity. 'An approach is being made to her and we are confident of landing her because we know she is keen for publicity to kickstart her own TV career.'.....
.....Georgina has courted attention since the phone call row and a close friend revealed appearing on Big Brother would be her 'dream come true.' She said: 'Georgie loves her rise to fame and this would be another massive step in the right direction. 'She would be on primetime TV every night and the producers know that Georgie is not backward in coming forwards.
'Georgie knows they will want her to talk openly about the whole affair, but she doesn't mind in the slightest - she will do anything for fame. She sees this as her revenge on Russell Brand.' The friend added: 'Nothing her family will say will stop her. Her grandfather didn't want her speaking to the press but she didn't listen.
'This is Georgie's shot at being a celeb and nothing will stop her. She is out to squeeze as much out of this as she can.'.....
.....Other stars said to have been approached to appear on Celebrity Big Brother include pop singer Whitney Houston, Liberal Democrat MP Lembit Opik, ex-Sugababe Mutya Buena, Hollywood actor Verne Troyer and former England footballer Ian Wright.
