I was just chatting with OH here and I said I quite liked him on CBB. Apart from a few questionable remarks to Casey he seems a reasonably nice guy. OH reckons he has a bad reputation. Is this true? If so why?

However vile he may or may not be I don't think we should be speculating that because he wasn't charged under Operation Yewtree it was cause they " couldn't make it stick" .Be careful..that case is a minefield...

He was the VIP guest at the do I was at too, my ex exh organized it. It was in the 80's though

Rusty Lee (who's black, in case you don't know her) said on BB's Bit On The Side last night that she's met JD a couple of times and he's a gentleman.

McPheezingMyButtOff · 29/01/2014 22:08

You have no idea. Really.

McPheezingMyButtOff · 29/01/2014 22:08

newmorning - yes he is

OHforDUCKScake · 29/01/2014 22:08

Ergh he is rank.

But can someone please tell why why's his face SO red?!

When he was laying down it was so red I thought his head might explode.

Nancy66 · 29/01/2014 22:09

He hasn't changed he's just broke and realises that he can't be the way he used to be to get on TV. So he's behaving himself.

He's still a 24 carat cunt though.

They are always gentlemen until you get involved with them in whatever way.

Thisisaghostlyeuphemism · 29/01/2014 22:11

He's horrendous. Why do people defend him?

Even the remarks he's made recently show him to be an irredeemable twat.

rainbowfeet · 29/01/2014 22:14

Never met him but went with my parents to view his house back in the late 80's it was very OTT lots of gold & marble everywhere!! Unfortunately I had the misfortune of having to socialize with the 'comedian' Jimmy Jones who was a very similar type act to JD ... They had a feud going as they Accused each other of stealing each other's material.... Should have done us all a favour & kept the material to themselves!!!

WallyBantersJunkBox · 29/01/2014 22:16

It's his fifth wife now though?

So what was "wrong" with the other four, if he was a lovely, devoted, committed and faithful partner, I wonder?

WitchWay · 29/01/2014 22:16

He was terribly racist with his "humour" in the 70s & 80s

RedPencils · 29/01/2014 22:17

He's coming across well in CBB for the most part. I remember him from the 80s and I don't like him at all.

WaitMonkey · 29/01/2014 22:21

I don't watch BB, but I haven't got a clue why he wasn't the first evicted. I always remember him on Hells Kitchen. His treatment of Brian Dowling was very uncomfortable to watch. He was a vile bully. I don't know why he's given air time.

McPheezingMyButtOff · 29/01/2014 22:22

Grin WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RedPencils · 29/01/2014 22:22

And he's the winner.

Sadoldbag · 29/01/2014 22:24

Oh dear I think I might vomit

SabrinaMulhollandJjones · 29/01/2014 22:29

He's a sexist, racist, violent wife-beating bully.

SabrinaMulhollandJjones · 29/01/2014 22:30

He won? FFS I despair.

WireCat · 29/01/2014 22:30

He's a mysogynistic, homophobic woman beater.

CiderBomb · 29/01/2014 22:30

His wife and daughter came to visit him in the house. His daughter is absolutely stunning, obviously gets her looks from her mum. His wives were all page three girl types I think.

FloweryFeatureWall · 29/01/2014 22:30

Well, certainly highlights how gullible the majority of the voting public are.

BrawToken · 29/01/2014 22:48

I once dumped a seemingly 'nice' guy I was seeing as he cited JD as a hero! He also gave me a gift of a video called red, white and very blue. It was fucking horrible.

LightsPlease · 29/01/2014 22:50

I think the producers planned for him to win from start. A kind of reward for his involvement in the scandal. To help his career go back on track.

So he gets public back on side. So he doesn't draw further negativity back to him.

Thisisaghostlyeuphemism · 29/01/2014 22:53

A triumph for thick woman haters
