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.

Don’t be sorry. Long time ago.

Save your sympathy for those who try to denigrate someone who quietly supports the charities helping women in need.

Gowlett · 04/03/2024 17:29

I think he’ll be a good laugh!
Not that I’ll be watching it…

I think we all have an Uncle Gary

I am surprised Carol couldn't pay him enough to keep him off TV.

Well she's not paying her creditors who have a more legitimate claim....

That's a fair point. Whatever happened with that? I am surprised she didn't just pay them and close / sell her company just to save face. . .
She's not broke and both her daughters are married to Billionaires. Kris Jenner works hard but Carole works harder!!

He’s clearly following the Matt Hancock school of rehabilitation! Don’t think it worked though!

I don’t think anyone cares if he will appear or not, even if Gary thinks he’s relevant 🙃

Also surprised it’s running, it’s such a dated idea

Didn’t it die a death for a few years?

I think the pushback on the love island type shows inspired the return, maybe?

For a few years there was quite some talk about how much people hated the beautiful bodied, vacuous, personality-less (insert insult of choice) and much preferred the ‘realness’ etc of big brother.

I guess the ratings will tell.
I’ll wait for the memes and lip syncs. The ones I saw from Kim last year were fab 😁

BobbyBookcase · 04/03/2024 21:57

I think that may explain where William was when he missed the memorial service.

Not sure - you’re probably right!

Who else is in it with Gary? Anyone we’ve heard of? Probably not!

Yes this 🙌🙌

Lampzade · 04/03/2024 22:24

Uncle Gary has probably been given the ok to go into the house by his sister and niece.
I think his focus will be on pointing out how wonderful his niece is and generally being a fun housemate

Checken · 04/03/2024 22:42

‘fun housemate’

code for getting drunk and belligerent

kirinm · 05/03/2024 11:41

Just saw his 'clip' on the BB instagram page and the first thing he mentioned was 'perfect Kate'. I'd be hugely embarrassed if I was her or William.

So completely trashy.

kirinm · 05/03/2024 11:42

Id also imagine that neither H or M give a shit what uncle Gary has to say.

yesmen · 05/03/2024 13:40

I read that King Charles set up trust funds for Camillas kids to avoid this sort of thing.

If they have enough money to function on they wont be prey for this kind of thing.

Having said that, putting the focus on Uncle Gary and what he will or won't do, takes the focus away from all things Windsor so it really is a win for them.

I do feel for the Middeltons here and the Princess of Wales. It just unleases all that snobbery again.

Roussette · 05/03/2024 13:42

Well....it was ok for Mike Tindall to go on a reality show, then release a range of budgie smugglers!

RedToothBrush · 05/03/2024 13:47

I wonder if this was the 'personal Issue' of late.

its channel 4 isn't it? he's a domestic abuser right? shame on them for having him on. everyone has a gross relative they wish they didn't...

I read that too.

Also a few pieces implying Camilla and her children live fairly modest lives and live off earnings from proper day jobs hmmm!

Painting them as eccentric English country types who don't care about appearances. But completely leaving them alone otherwise.

(Look at Camilla in her dirty old Barbour and muddy Volvo, not thinking about money there's 50 million in the bank!).

(didn't realise you could buy a massive Central London pad with food writing....).

That's fitting in with the RF throwing certain people under a bus with the papers and protect others.

Gary could have been paid off/shut down as could the Middletons creditors.

Also, the Middletons could have been advised strongly to shut these situations down. Or the Press discouraged from reporting these stories.

It's also odd that Gary wasn't stopped with the domestic abuse conviction (which could have been used to keep him off the show if someone powerful had leaned on the production company).

I don't know if anyone has followed Charlene in Monaco but similar trajectories.

Prince has relationship with attractive outsider, relationship fine but marriage into any RF is (as one would expect) a snake pit which no aristocrats will touch.

I've read Charlene isn't that popular in Monaco.

But she's incredibly photogenic (I'm a straight woman and I can't stop looking at her).

So the Prince has to keep her married as she serves as a lightning rod for all the media attention and gives him the whole "nuclear family" look to appeal to the conservatives.

She's been "off sick" for a year or so.

Been reported she's negotiated a 10 million a year payment to appear in public and put out statements preserving the image of the RF.

(imagine this money is also to protect herself against threats of security being withdrawn).

She's kind of back, but (possibly as retaliation for her taking a stand) someone has chosen to release very unflattering information about finances linked to her (which just seems like a bit of a smear).

Pushtart · 05/03/2024 14:47

ITV, well they don't seem to have standards. Someone should have paid this embarrassment millions years ago to stfu

Very true, upthread, William's ''uncle gary'' is worse than Kate's uncle gary.

He won't reveal anything bad about W&K, not intentionally. I wouldn't trust him not to attempt to set a few records straight though and it'll all stir up drama. He shouldn't do it.................

Yes. Surely if he says anything about Meghan, it will be seen as something Kate has told her mother, and her mother has told him. Otherwise he doesn't know anything at all, because he has probably never met Meghan. He is just going to make his sister look like a gossip. He is only on for one reason. In the hope he gets drunk and starts slagging off Meghan and Harry. Him saying 'Oh Kate is really nice' is not the reason he's being paid £££ to be in there.

Did anyone see it? Has he gotten smashed and blabbed yet?
