Look every year when Celebrity Big Brother rolls round we groan that those entering the house are has-beens, never-has-been and imbeciles.
Deep down we secretly thrive on watching the craziness and drama unfold.
This year CBB bosses have taken it a step too far though and seem to be interested in giving air time to two of 2016’s most ignorant characters.
First up is home grown drug mule Michaella McCollum. Rumors of Michaella entering the house have bee rife all week and according to OK! it’s pretty much a done deal.
According to The Mirror, Michaella’s ex, DJ Brad Houston, wrote on Facebook:
“Hope she gets it, the girl deserves some good luck.”
Right.
Joining Michaella in the house will be the slightly less ignorant but still infuriating Ben Innes.
The name doesn’t ring a bell? Well, you might recognize him as the gobshite who posed for a selfie with a potential bomber during the would-be Egypt Air plane hack. He did it for the lols.
A source told The Star:
“Housemate are picked for specific reasons, including how their chemistry will work with others, not just how they are as an individual onscreen.
“In Michaella and Ben’s cases, they might not be famous in the traditional sense, but they are infamous, there’s a difference, and the public want to hear their stories.
“It was the same when Natasha Giggs walked through the doors in 2012, not exactly celebrity status, but the nation wanted her side on the Ryan Giggs affair. It’s TV gold.”
