Celebrity Big Brother (ITV1) and Late & Live (ITV2) - Thread 2 - no spoilers please

[mumofoneAlonebutokay]

So we're three days in Mickey Rourke has managed to insult: Jojo and the entire LGBTQ+ community Drag queens Patsy's cooking Donna's weight He's had a telling off from Big Brother re his comments and discussion of nominations Mickey has been nominated by Jojo, who had a killer nomination, and is the first housemate to be up for eviction.

Daley Thompson is immune from being nominated, thanks to Mickey. Trisha has a lot of stories Donna wears an LED mask to bed Jack P Shepherd has been mute 🤐 so far (as his biggest hater, I love it 🤭)

Contains discussion of the spoiler content shown on Late and Live (ITV2) but no further spoilers please 🙏 No spoilers from the live stream or the tabloids Here's the link to thread one: www.mumsnet.com/talk/tellyaddicts/5307304-celebrity-big-brother-starts-mon-7th-april-on-itv

Agree re the comments about david

He looks so uncomfortable - was he always this way or is he just getting older 😄

Yeah me neither, I didn't know him at all until this series @ConstantlyFuriosa

He really does look uncomfortable @mumofoneAlonebutokay is it a weight thing? I know over the years if I'd put some on I'd be pulling & tugging at my clothes & overcompensating with "outragousness" like I said I'd never seen him before until now

Yeah he does look a little bit heavier and seems to be breathing heavier too, have seen him on tv for a few years

Not to body shame at all! He's still got legs to die for

Just seems uncomfy

I know nothing about Jojo but I guess I was surprised she is so friendly with Chris. Maybe she likes immature people?
The cynic in me thinks it is genuine from her part but I think Chris pre planned it a bit... he's very self aware.

Such a bizzare choice not to have it on on a Saturday!

It's not like it's love island, we're just missing good tv!

Whats chris got in common with a 21 year old 😭

Oh god no no body shaming at all, I just recognise myself (with all my eating issues) & I remember how uncomfortable I was & I wasn't on TV

Not saying you were!

Been there myself

Just clarifying for myself 😄🥰

Chris will definitely make it to the final and probably win, although I hope he doesn’t. He’s so blah. Nice enough but a bit dull and definitely playing it safe. And I absolutely do not want to see a showmance between him and Ella.

Oh no! I hate it when they don’t have a show on Saturdays. Boo!

No I know you weren't x

Indeed. Chris is 32.

I think Chris is one of the biggest game players in there. He's hand picked certain housemates to be friends with and doesn't bother so much with others. He knows what he's doing.

There is live feed tomorrow. Which is something. Shame about the birdsong tho.. lol but will see what happens.

Chris is definitely in it to win it.

I'm bereft there's no show tomorrow

I find Chris a bit controlling. Too media savy so isn't allowing some of them to just be themselves.

Yeah I mean my head injury suggestion is bc his behaviour could be caused by other stuff, but otoh he was polite to the drag queen Danny. I think he can control himself& is aware what's acceptable. Interestingly he wanted to play Gareth Roberts in 2011 back when he came out, so seems to only have an issue w lesbians not gay men.

I get people sympathising tho as he clearly has had severe troubles mental health wise. Know v little about him (Gen Z) but Wiki describes how he was suicidal in 2009 and his dogs were the only thing keeping him going. He also had a v violent dad & took up boxing initially to protect himself & his mum. So I still feel disapproving of his imo pretty clear misogyny but he clearly had ha a v rough time. Surely he has some friends tho who can help?

Ah, ok, thanks @Aquarius1234

And lots of shots of balloon dogs for two hours or whatnot.

Re Mickey and women. He grew up with an abusive stepdad and always said his mum didn’t protect him or his brother so they were estranged for many years. I don’t think he ever forgave her for that.

Not passing judgement one way or the other; just relating what I’ve read.

Ella would love a shomance but Chris won't entertain it, he has beelined for the ones he wants for his career

Yes, five hours of live feed tomorrow, 9pm onwards.

Tonight: Patsy currently in hot tub

...now joined by Chris

Yes it was Mickey's step dad that was violent, not his dad. The step dad was a police officer as well I believe.

Oh it was his stepdaughter not dad, I see. Really horrible , no excuse but it seems to have marked him perhaps? Disturbingly Bella Thorne has just said that in a scene for a 2020 film he hit her genitals w a pickaxe rather than her knees as he was meant too, & had her covered in dirt for another scene. If true, and if deliberate, v disturbing.
