The new series of Celebrity Big Brother is just days away – it’s not long before we’re all sniggering at another bunch of deluded Z-listers that can convince themselves that CBB will revive their careers.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve been running the hecklerspray Celebrity Big Brother survey to see what you people think of Celebrity Big Brother past, present and future. And, as far as you lot are concerned, drunken lardy comic Johnny Vegas has already got Celebrity Big Brother sewn up…
The Celebrity Big Brother line-up is always a bit of a
closely-guarded secret right up until the moment that the stars enter
the Big Brother house, and it’s no different this year. All kinds of
names have been thrown into the mix this year – some will be true and
some will be piffle. But of all the potential Celebrity Big Brother
housemates bandied around, it seems like it’s Johnny Vegas that has
captured your imagination the most – 48.5% of those polled think that
Johnny Vegas will win the series.
Boy George followed Johnny Vegas with 17.2%, then Australian
soapstar Daniel MacPherson with 9.1%. making up the rest of the list,
in order of popularity, were Jimmy Tarbuck, Derek Acorah, Anna Nicole
Smith and Gillian McKeith. Bringing up the rear were big-toothed TV
presenter Esther Rantzen and Jocelyn Jee Esien from forgotten BBC Three comedy show 3 Non Blondes.
Since
we started the survey just before Christmas, it was rumoured that
Michael Barrymore has been signed up to appear in the series –
obviously filling the Les Dennis/Vanessa Feltz frazzled breakdown role
in this year’s Celebrity Big Brother. But 31% of those who took the
hecklerspray Celebrity Big Brother survey chose Tom Cruise as the
celebrity they’d most like to see have a gigantic wibbling meltdown on
live TV, closely followed by Russell Crowe (24%) and Jessica Simpson
(19%). Other potential fruitcakes suggested by you included Chris
Evans, Anne Robinson and Angelina Jolie.
As far as Celebrity Big Brother past goes, you voted Jack Dee as
your favourite-ever Celebrity Big Brother housemate with 28%, followed
by Kenzie with 21% and John McCririck with 19%.
Honourable mentions should go to Jackie "Yeah, Brackie" Stallone – who
was nominated several times despite not even being on our list, and
Anthea Turner – who didn’t get a single vote.
Despite all the
pre-series hype going around at the moment, Celebrity Big Brother was
only your third-favourite reality TV show with 11%, after Big Brother
(59%) and I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here (12%).
A massive
75% of those who took the hecklerspray Celebrity Big Brother survey
have voted on a reality TV show but – bewilderingly – only 16% of those
polled have placed a bet on a reality TV show. This surprised us
because betting on reality TV shows is such an easy way to make money –
someone surveyed boasted that they had won £2000 by betting on Nadia to
win Big Brother two years ago – and it’s also ridiculously fun. Plus it
makes all the dramatic pauses that Davina McCall leaves when she’s evicting
people much less pointless.
As soon as Celebrity Big Brother
starts, we’ll be giving you daily betting odds profiles of each of the
CBB housemates, so make sure you check back with hecklerspray
throughout the fun-packed series of Celebrity Big Brother.
