Anybody else had no interest in this latest series and didn't watch a single frame?

Had no interest for years. Mrs Wyot, alas, relishes the grislier side of life (particularly the eating of eyeballs) and so I was exposed to some of the final. Which included Matt Hancock displaying his human side; one of the more troubling things I have seen on television since Whitty & Valance proselytising over "the science"...

For those too young or disinterested, I used to be a Celebrity in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s - originally from music and then from TV, newspaper columns and other media reasons. I transferred nicely into being notorious in 2000, thanks to Max Clifford and Surrey Police which meant, horror of horrors, the media stopped mentioning me on my birthday each year, the ultimate condemnation by society. I was actually getting pretty fed up by the end of last century of being the “go to” commentator for any music or entertainment story. The Renta-Quote job went to Gambo, who adored the attention. I was glad to pass that title across.

I saw the insect munching bits, but I was put off most of it by Matt Hancock. Not him himself, (he was magnificent in his trials) but by the collective decision to exclude and bully him from almost all of the performers.

Also, from people commenting, I was astonished at the stupidity of so many who appear to think that he alone was responsible for the entire pandemic farce, and annoyed by one dimensional dullards who, if they do not like one aspect of someone's actions or personality, have to loudly DETEST and condemn every single thing they do.

I'm so glad you said that Honey; totally agree.

Matt Hancock human?


I do love your sense of humour Wyot.

Not celebrity VICTIM Jonathan King, but celebrity CRIMINAL Boy George O'Dowd got IN there.

On 5 December 2008, Boy George was convicted in Snaresbrook Crown Court, London, of the April 2007 assault and false imprisonment of Audun Carlsen, a Norwegian model and male escort, who initially stood for a photography session with Boy George. In their next meeting, Boy George handcuffed him to a wall fixture and beat him with a metal chain. Boy George's defence presented the effects of his long-term drug use as a mitigating factor. On 16 January 2009, Boy George was sentenced to 15 months' imprisonment for these offences.[100] He was initially incarcerated at HM Prison Pentonville in London, but was then transferred to HM Prison Highpoint North in Suffolk. He was given early release after four months on 11 May 2009. He was required to wear an ankle monitor and submit to a curfew for the remainder of his sentence.

On 23 December 2009, while he was still on licensed release from prison following an assault conviction earlier that year, Boy George had his request to appear on the final series of Celebrity Big Brother (to be broadcast on Channel 4) turned down by the Probation Service. Richard Clayton QC, representing the Probation Service, said Boy George's participation would pose "a high level of risk" to the service's reputation. Clayton argued that if he used the show to promote his status as a celebrity and earn "a lucrative sum of money" it could undermine public confidence in the criminal justice system.

are you "disgraced" though JK..I always think the disgraced moniker indicates probably a most interesting person.

Oh yes Hedda - disgraced in the only place that matters to society these days - the media.
