I am watching CBB and there seems to of been a falling out between Michael Fabricant and Patsy Palmer as she asked why he wears that daft wig.

I am not Grrr Tories but Fabricant cos playing as Boris Johnson will always bring attention to that thing on his head.

AIBU to think he brings it on himself ?

The man looks ridiculous😂

Doiknowyouplease · 11/04/2025 13:36

All I shall say is that anyone aged 74 is very unlikely to have hair of that thickness.

The first time I saw a photo of him I thought he was playing a character Blush

Yes, I thought he was a parody à la Rosie Holt. Quite shocked to discover he is real.

I had cancer and you can get wigs that look very real mine actually looked less wiggy than my real hair .. he has enough money to be able to get a really good one Or a hair transplant It's a deliberate look he's going for

JasmineAllen · 11/04/2025 14:04

OMG, I actually thought it was his real hair, dyed of course, but all his own 😂
I just assumed it must be because no one would wear such an obvious wig.

JasmineAllen · 11/04/2025 14:05

So hang on, is that a wig too?

Jelliots · 11/04/2025 14:08

Why does it matter whether it’s a wig or not? Ffs how shallow to rip the piss out of the bloke for something like that. Imagine if it was a woman wearing a wig and everyone was laughing at it?

PlanetOtter · 11/04/2025 15:13

@Jelliotsthe issue isn’t that he’s wearing a wig, it’s that it’s such a bizarre wig that he can only be doing it for attention.

angelinawasrobbed · 11/04/2025 15:20

He used to tell journos it was a weave, iirc

AFabricante · 11/04/2025 15:30

@ThePunnyPeachDuck have you seen this from when he was on First Dates:

He gets so huffy with the poor lady.

Normally that programme is pretty good trying to fix up similar couples - but imagine that, you go with hope in your heart and meet him. She seemed like a nice woman and was trying to compliment him but it goes badly wrong and he is very very offended by reference to the wig.

I haven't been watching Big Brother but I have no idea how he thought going on a a 24/7 filming experience if you are trying to hide a wig was a good idea.

If you go on Big Brother surely you are there to be looked at and if you look ridiculous someone is going to comment. It’s not like you are minding your own business getting on with your normal life

OverpricedCupcake · 11/04/2025 15:45

Yes!
His wig gives me the creeps, I'd vote him out based on that alone.

It's a wig?!

Good grief, I always assumed it was just his genetic inheritance and he'd decided to hold his head high and tough it out. If he actually paid for it then he's eccentric to say the least.

Magnastorm · 11/04/2025 21:19

It might be rude to take the piss out his stupid stupid hair, but he is a huge wanker and was a dreadful mp so... who cares.

SonoPazziQuestiRomani · 11/04/2025 21:23

If people don't stop poking fun at his hair there will be hell toupée.

This with knobs on. He was a dreadful mp. Supported Boris and his greedy chums come what may

DD is watching BB. I have not watched it for many years (since the early days- probably ended with Chicken Stew). We had a conversation about it and I mentioned my objections to booking deplorable people and 'fun washing'. This ultimately led to a conversation about Michael Barrimore is really well regarded and quite liked amoungst her age group! He does loads on social media and DD was totally unaware of his history.

willstarttomorrow · 11/04/2025 21:36

Also, if you are going to cos-play Boris Johnson fucking own it. His government took the piss out of us little people- so thin skinned when on the receiving end.

soupyspoon · 11/04/2025 21:40

So this thread swapped round of course, talking about a womans appearance or hairpiece, people would be screaming about how women shouldnt put other women down, whose business is it to talk about someones appearence, internalised misogyny, blah blah blah.

BlondeMummyto1 · 11/04/2025 21:46

I like him and felt really bad for him that she mentioned it. She’s coming across as a boring cow.

Mysterian · 11/04/2025 21:47

It's not a wig. Wigs are made to look like hair. His thing doesn't. He wears a kind of hairy hat.
