Apart from all the betting, the best thing about Big Brother is watching all the deluded housemates try and milk their celebrity for as much as it’s worth once the series ends. Novelty singles, ad campaigns, Celebrity Wrestling… they’re all trying to hold on to public recognition by the tips of their fingers.
Makosi Musambasi – the afro-wearing, pool-shagging, pregnancy-faking Big Brother housemate – is undoubtedly the most famous ex-housemate from the last series. But for all the wrong reasons – she’s being evicted from the country.
Makosi – from Zimbabwe – had one of the biggest rollercoaster rides during the Big
Brother experience. The first thing that Big Brother said directly to
her was the word "Unlucky," and that’s turned out to be strangely
prescient.
From being the early favourite to win Big Brother, public opinion
slowly turned against her. Pretending that Anthony got her up the duff
wasn’t a good move, and then The Sun claimed that she was an actress
hired by Endemol to liven the show up. It all came to a head when she
was evicted – between the thousands of booing lunkheads and Davina
McCall being unnecessarily nasty to her, Makosi’s eviction was an
uncomfortable spectacle to watch.
And then, to make it worse, she got in her sister’s car without
wearing a seatbelt. Police stopped her, and that started a chain of
events which has led to her deportation from the country.
As a matter of routine, the police passed on Makosi’s details to
immigration services, who then discovered that appearing on Big Brother
broke the terms of her visa – which limited her to her previous job as
a cardiac nurse at Wycombe Hospital.
Immigration officers have now given Makosi 10 days to appeal before
she leaves the country. The whole story made us feel a little sorry for her, until she told The Sun "I feel I’ve been used for entertainment
and now am being betrayed," at least.
Now, if we could find some way to deport Craig…

This is the very best news I have heard so far this year. Let’s hope the madatory appeal fails. ‘Used for entertainment’? She fucking applied to go on the show? And has made a fuck load of dosh as a result. Hardly used, is it?
As Cartman would say: “Makosi, get the fuck out…”
