I still think that an accused person shouldn't be named and plastered all over the press (same for the accusers too). It's highly likely that we will never know the full details of this case, so we will never know if JD did commit a crime (to which there wasn't enough evidence for a conviction) or if some/all of the accusations were/were not true.
It does seem very odd to me that 11 women made allegations of one or more offences and there's not enough evidence to proceed on ANY of the charges.
I wholly agree that cases of a sexual nature are difficult for ALL concerned and playing them out in the press only serves to damage a lot of peoples lives.

I can see him being great if he went in.

He'd certainly be a memorable character but I'm not sure if it would be good or bad.

Depends what he says..
He will probably look to stir it up.

I'm against anonymity for the accused purely because other alleged victims sometimes come forward when they hear that they will not be a lone voice accusing someone. Cases with multiple victims are more likely to be successful.

Sorry, can't go with that. Whilst I understand your point, the accused should at least have anonymity until they are charged.

Oh blimey, this is getting completely off topic really, but it's a really interesting one for discussion and a difficult one. I can see both sides of the argument but I am largely with you, particularly for those in the public eye who may/may not use their fame to get what they want and as we have seen it can give victims who have felt far too intimidated in not speaking out sooner, to find the strength to speak out. So far, Davidson is the only one thus far who seems to have been taken out of the frame. For Joe Public however I feel completely differently.

He's pretty think skinned, I think he would last a good while
He's on tour though so I think it will be a no this time around

Possibly in a line-up, as part of a task.

An identity parade line up?
JD is free 28th August - 5th September. Perfect timing to pop him in the house for a few days!
Get him and Ron pissed, sit back and enjoy the car crash

No way, he is horrible and seems to be homophobic and racist if I remember from his earlier "hilarious" comedy characters.

All the more reason to give him a shot
Yes of course he should but best save him for the next CBB series, i'm sure he'll be in one CBB series in the future.
He was vile on that Hells Kitchen--didn't he insult BB Brian and get chucked out?? Who thinks what CBB needs is more 'phobes & racists?? BAD idea.

It needs footage to watch really. Jim could provide that.

I've of the opinion that CBB could do without TOWIE, Geordie Shore types
