Who?
He's on Celebrity Big Brother.
According to Wikipedia his only other appearance on anything is being interviewed by Dan Wootton, once.
He's Princess Kate's (Gawd bless her) uncle and has been fined for smacking his ex wife about.
Have we reached the bottom of the barrel?
We dug through the bottom of the barrel long ago. We’re currently in a shaft, deep in the bowels of the earth scraping at the ceiling of Hell itself.
It’s only a matter of time before Thatchers ghost gets booked for I’m a Celebrity.
Thatcher’s Ghost? Worst flavoured cider ever!
We always watch the people going in to the Celebrity BB house (then never bother with it after that), just so we can look at each other blankly and go 'who?!'
It would appear that there are a group of people who just 'do' reality TV and nomadically wander from one awful show to the next, like they've been cursed to wander a scorched earth of botox and sequins for the rest of eternity.
At least we'd heard of Mrs T.
This guy works in IT and his niece married someone famous. He isn't on the reality TV circuit. He fixes computers and once punched his wife.
I'm going to apply to be on it because I very, very vaguely know the dad of someone on Radio X.

Hangover farts
Turned over after watching The Push , murder on the cliff to see the “contestants” on the Big Bother
A veritable who’s who of who the fudge there. 😂
Big Brother's still going?
I thought it'd been killed off years ago
There are only 2 questions
the first is will he spill the beans on the grounds it’s the only reason he is there
the second , which might be a bit tin foil hat, is will C4 broadcast them or does the palace have enough power to stop them like it does with the print media.
It's TV for the hard of thinking - that means most of the country love it.
I know a Celebrity Big Brother doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
Will be good when they reveal the late entrance of Ed Sheeran's Amazon driver.

Less than 5% of the population watched it; yet people who this time yesterday couldn't tell you who Gary Goldsmith was and didn't watch the programme are debating if he's famous enough to be on it, and paradoxically increasing his celebrity status! In fairness I just looked over the other "contestants" and couldn't tell you who half of them are!

Which beans are you hoping will be spilled? Its possible the gossip you crave is extremely dull. Moreover even if there was juicy gossip on "me" the chances of my uncle knowing it are pretty low*.
*I'd say slightly higher that change that my Aunt knew it, told my Uncle but he wasn't really listening!
I know it's kind of convention, but I'm not sure he deserves 2 exclamation marks!
Is it all a ploy to raise the profile/public awareness of the show, simply by lowering the profile of the participants (further)?
I wasn't even aware Big Brother was on so this thread has introduced me to that fact, thanks.
Will I watch Big Brother or pay any more attention? No, but you know what 'they' say: "There's no such thing as bad publicity"
“There’s no such thing as bad publicity”
I think the completely bewlidered looking pairing of Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh may yet dispute that. I don't know what their agents had told them they were signing up for, but it didn't seem to have much resmblance to what was going on around them
Binners has it.
There's nothing new here, it's been this way for years. One can be a "celebrity" on reality TV by dint of previously being an unknown on another reality TV show; the industry has eaten itself.
the second , which might be a bit tin foil hat, is will C4 broadcast them
I'd say that's highly unlikely given that it's airing on ITV.

I was taking the piss. A convicted wife beater who has been on TV once in an interview with Dan Wootton is classed as a "celebrity"?
I bet his niece has nothing to do with him and her husband wouldn't know who he was if his security details Range Rover ran straight over him.

I didn't even know it was airing before this thread, I just spent ten seconds on Google to see who was on it.
