Uncle Gary on CBB

[ThePoshUns]

What a weasel.
Whilst Kate is clearly very unwell, he thinks it will be a good idea to go on national tv and 'spill the beans'.
I can't see him actually knowing much inside information about the Royals.
More likely he will be slagging Harry and Meghan off, which won't be helpful to either party.
The whole family must be on pins.
I won't be watching, I wouldn't anyway, awful programme.

Isn't he Carol Middleton's brother? In what way does that make him a 'celebrity'? Pfft.

It'll be on in our living room unfortunately, as youngest dd loves it, she likes to have the dog with her when watching tv and he's not allowed upstairs. Then after a couple of episodes I disappoint myself by looking forward to it. P & PoW seem such private people, they must be dreading it.

Her whole family seem very private, its horrible ch4 or whoever it is have dug him up with the promise of money. Carol must be very upset especially.

how is he a celebrity

The term 'celebrity' in CBB is somewhat of a misnomer these days.

It used to be the place for former known to relight their careers.
Now, it's just a house for the lost and bewildered

Apparently Carol and Michael Middleton are furious that he is doing this . The term “ read the riot act” is being quoted .
He has been very vocal about H and M so that’s probably why he has been asked. Doubt if he will say much about W and C .

Exactly he is no celebrity.I hope he's kicked off at the earliest opportunity.

He’s going to spill the beans about Harry and Meghan!

They must be quaking in their (Sorel) boots as I write.

Because, as the brother of the mother of the sister-in-law, he’ll be FULL of secret salacious gossip about M&H that no-one, absolutely no-one, has covered before!

… or perhaps just more embarrassment for the “classy” M family?

😆

God I’d be livid if I was the Middletons.

Not much change from him or Thomas Markle but then who hasn’t got an embarrassing relative?

How close is he to the Middletons? How much does he know? Pippa's father in law has a shady past too, could he spill the beans on him

Uncle Gary entering cbb really lowers the tone for the whole Middleton family.

I doubt he knows anything that hasn't already been in the papers. I'd be embarrassed to do this if I were him.

Bit early to say yet, however, I think the US version of the ‘Shameless’ family don’t have anything to worry about, unless of course Pippa ‘ups the ante’ and decides to sue her sister 😂

So he’s basically doing a Thomas Markle?

‘Uncle Gary entering cbb really lowers the tone for the whole Middleton family.’

The tone lowering puts them in good company, with Fergie’s toe sucking, Edward’s Royal knockouts and Meghan’s burger adverts.

Are we holding a whole family responsible for one wayward member now?

Cos by golly have I got some finger pointing at the ready!!

Perhaps his housemates will ask him about the time he knocked his wife unconscious and the restraining order out on him
They have since 'made up'

Is he the one that was drunk and disorderly? Could be carnage if they have alcohol on set (not sure if they do or don’t as don’t watch it)

… or perhaps just more embarrassment for the “classy” M family?

That's a spiteful tone to take.

The Middletons have behaved impeccably and with huge restraint. Whatever your view of the royals, you can't fault the Ms.

I feel sorry for anyone whom the press get their teeth into and it's horrible when a family member betrays family secrets. Sure, Gary probably knows what the real deal is with H & M's antics but he won't be helping anyone by talking about it.

My stomach is always turned by people washing their (or their relations') dirty linen in public, as it was when H & M did it. It doesn't reflect well on anyone and it comes back to bite people on the backside.

If posters argue that Meghan isn’t responsible for what her relatives do and say , then the Middletons aren’t responsible for what Gary does and says.
I have a close relative in prison but I don’t think he makes me less “ classy”.

Nothing could make you less classy @Mylovelygreendress !

more embarrassment for the “classy” M family?

I do hope not. I think it is important to stay sober about this, especially with all the hoo-hah on social media about Catherine. Hardly anyone knows or cares who he is and his appearance will probably tank.

A ray of light for the Middletons is that he probably doesn't get kept in the loop much in order to spill any significant secrets. He appears to care for his sister and nieces, so why would he hurt them, especially at this time? And if I'm wrong and he's a bad man (as pp have suggested), if he had anything significant to say that would hurt them, he'd probably have said it already, so imo, he will probably not be letting off any big bomb.

Baying for his blood is a bit off too from either side, imo. He's a private citizen, and I assume republicans and royalists alike support him doing what he's free to do, even if it's unpleasant for the latter group to witness and possibly worrying for the former if they think he might talk about H&M. Again though, I doubt he has anything new to say about them either.

Besides, if he does say anything the palace hates, they can send a Beefeater into the Big Brother House to arrest him and throw him in the Tower! 😂

Excellent post @Mybrainfartsarefragrant !

Two enthusiastic 👍👍

@jeffgoldblum 💐

Yes, similarly Harry is not responsible for his uncle Andrew's actions.

Ahh every one has an embarrassing uncle Gary who is liable to show you up in public

Even the PofW has one...good old Kate 😀

Yeh it's all very British in that we all have an embarrassing relative, he's an embarrassment and it's pathetic in its very nature but people will watch and that's why they've booked him.
