Kim’s clean kill
6th Take That lad was dire
C4 pundit Paul Nicholson on new Lakeside World Darts almost champion Glen Durrant of the being knocked out two: tournament in round that happen, “When things like name is on sometimes your now. the trophy – it is when “Well, it will be, it’s engraved.” IT was just another regular series of Celebrity Big Brother, ambling along like every other forgettable recent run. Then Wednesday happened. KABOOM. And no, I didn’t see this early contender for TV Moment of the Year coming either – one half of the How Clean Is Your House? presenting duo having to be dragged out of the house by security in a full-blown, late-night row with a former Gillingham FC midfielder.
Words I’ve not written before very often.
Such was the impact of mid- series incomer Kim Woodburn, an unhinged, hideous old bat who landed looking for a fight and verbally pummelled Nicola McLean until footballer Jamie O’Hara hit back, while being restrained by Spencer Pratt and Stacy Francis.
Truly remarkable scenes that do none of them any favours but at least make ake CBB 19 a half- decent footnote in the TV archives. By the end, Kim’s abuse became comically indiscriminate: “You’re a two-faced bunch, chicken-livered s**ts, chinless wonders!” And by the next morning she was comparing herself to Jesus on the cross. So yes, I’d say she was keeping it real. What’s most amazing, though, is until that point, the show was going nowhere.
C5’ s big idea to bring back old housemates simply meant half of the bookings were wise to Big Brother.
James Jordan was booted out for being James Jordan, Calum Best still takes himself way too seriously and Jedward have been just as annoying as before, with John/ Edward claiming: “I go to old people’s homes. I represent five charities, I’m with fans for hours. I do things which aren’t even on camera.”
Although he doesn’t like to talk about it.
Then again, there was the dramatic moment Stacy thought Nicola had got a j jar of Nutella from the storeroom, except it turned out to be peanut butter. Two of the celebs had already walked, presumably out of boredom, before the producers shoved in Kim, The Apprentice’s Jessica Cunningham, who’s clearly regretting playing the fame game, and Chloe Ferry, the now obligatory vulgar, high-volume Geordie Shore nightmare.
She has been attempting to surgically insert her tongue down Calum Best’s throat, very much against his wishes, thinks dinosaurs have been “distinct” 65 million years and needs Big Brother to point out it’s unacceptable to “lift up your towel and rub your naked bottom” against one of Jedward’s back.
In fact of all people, Kim Woodburn spoke the most sense about Chloe: “She has absolutely no respect for property, for people, for noise, what she does, the way she talks, the whole thing about her. She has no shame. She’s got to understand there’s a turn-off point.”
Every night at 9pm, to be precise. ANOTHER dire Let It Shine last night with more West End pros, the producers wasting time showing Graham Norton and Mel Giedroyc dancing and some serious brown-nosing of Gary Barlow by
