Big Brother 2010

The last gasp from a long dead format, Big Brother has arrived with a line up of non-notable horrors. As usual the show is also a platform for F list celeb trainees. Benjamin Duncan is a publicity seeker who has done stunts on other terrible shows before. Keeley Katchadourian, aka Shabby, lesbian squatter with a very high opinion of herself, says she once appeared in Black Beauty etc., According to one poster in The Sun:

Shabby is my cousin, she has a great personality, and has had an exciting life due to her acting caree and life in london.She did lose the part in parent trap to lindsey lohan, and has been in casulty, a bit part in eastenders when she was very young. Shabby has also been in a westend show.

Another eagle eyed poster at The Mirror reports:

Graham is a channel 4 regular, seen him on Kilroy, A Place in the Sun, Embarrassing Ilnesses and Four Weddings along with his wife. Allister was on Ibiza Uncovered

Paul Connolly in The Daily Mail comments "the show attracted the wannabe generation and the producers jettisoned the interesting for the tawdry and plain repulsive" I agree wth that!

Anyway, here is an example of Ben's cringe making "talent" I hope that poor old Leslie got paid for this! Ben Duncan favours small sofas, impertinence, and creating an unsettling atmosphere for guests.



"Posh Ben"seems to have styled himself as a cross between Peter York's caricature Sloane Ranger and Oscar Wilde. Shabby is an archetypal lesbian bohemian with an eye for adoring totty and for the main chance. Role playing by those after publicity and a load of other dregs seeking attention. It should be noted that the very last dying gasp of Big Brother 2010 will include past stars, Barrymore perhaps?

Talking of desperate trainee celebs Paul Burling, naff mimic, is in the lower levels of news chatter. "Sources" claim he may be given a TV show on ITV2. Oh really? "Insiders have suggested that the pilot show could even feature a cameo from Harry Hill"

I wonder who "Sources" and "Insiders" are? Interestingly Paul Burling has claimed to have support from Harry Hill as well as numerous other celebs whose charchters he mimics:


(i) He told This is Bristol ""I was a bit disappointed not to make it into the final three but I've had lots of people say they thought I would have been there. The feedback I've had has been fantastic though. Harry Hill phoned me from Spain, where he was on holiday with his family, to say congratulations.

"At first I thought it was one of my mates mucking about. He was really supportive and said he had been watching me. He said his family had been watching and laughing too.


(ii)"An ITV boss came up to me and said, 'Harry sends his regards from Spain" according to stv.tv

Strange that. Maybe he will get a show on ITV2 and Harry Hill will squander his comic capital on a mimic desperado! Maybe Russell Grant will appear in "I'm a Celebrity" Possible, but like bacon sandwiches at a bar mitzvah...unlikely.
