BIG Brother was last night branded "absolute nonsense" - by one of its own presenters.
Comic Michael McIntyre - who hosted last year's Big Mouth spin-off - savaged the reality show days before the start of the tenth series.

The stand-up star, 32, confessed he "hated" fronting Big Mouth for a week last year. And he attacked the BB format as "terrible" and "dead".

Michael told TV Biz: "I'm not a fan of Big Brother.

"I'm pleased I'm able to say that now, because last year I had a brief stint hosting the Big Brother's Big Mouth vehicle. I didn't like it at all, I hated it. I thought it was absolute nonsense.

"I think it's terrible, it really is. I think it's really dead that format now. I'd be surprised if they can resurrect it."

The star also blasted the show's contestants for constantly arguing.

Michael said: "They have weird philosophies on life, like, 'If you've got something to say, say it to my face'.

"I don't understand that - if someone's got something negative to say, say it way behind my back please, nowhere near my face.

"The last thing I need is people getting in my face and slagging me off.

"They say, 'You're coming in with a game plan'. It's a game show with a prize, of course you've got a game plan!"

Michael's outburst will infuriate bosses at Channel 4, where he often appears on panel shows like Chris Moyles' Quiz Night.

A C4 insider said: "He's entitled to his opinion - but he's certainly changed his tune from last year."

Michael is the second star linked to the channel to slag off the show.


We told how Alan Carr upset bosses by saying he was fed up having BB evictees on The Sunday Night Project - joking that he would "rather glass them".

Meanwhile, we can reveal two more housemates lined up for this year.

Actor Graham Winstone-Peters and fiancee Ivy Pink - who have both appeared on previous reality shows - are set to enter midway through the series.

They will join glamour girl Karly Ashworth, 21, and 15 others.

I actually doubt this is true... as it doesn't sound like Michael McIntyre and also the rumours of housemates at the end, BULL ****!

It is nice to see that McIntyre is slagging off the show that contains his core audience as a comedian. Forty year old wine chugging divorcees.
