Yes. I know what it means but being transexual is not being gay. I mean, you may or may not be gay, same as everybody else, but having gender "reassignment" is nothing to do with sexual preference or being gay or not.

And as far as I know, Nadia is a heterosexual woman.

I never said she wasn't. Look on the previous page for my post.

Apparently it gave you a better chance of getting picked, in BB5 Jason said he put down on his form his sexual preference was bisexual to improve his chances of getting picked (he could have a romance with any housemate).”

I missed the last post on the page sorry, but because we were talking about Brian being the only gay winner it appears that you are including transexuals.
You might as well have said "but Nadia had blue eyes too"

Anyway... He is still the only gay in the winners village.

*Bangs head against table on Cal's behalf*

They never said he wasnt the only gay winner, they said he's one of the only LGBTs on C4 in general, the other being Nadia.

Yes. I know. I heard him. (her?)
It seemed an odd link to make because we were talking about being gay.

If we include channel five and CBB there is Rylan too, but best not mention it to Brian.

I was not a fan of Brian as a presenter on BB and i did not like how biased he was, dislike Emma for the same reason but she is an improvement.. Loved him as a Hm but the presenting job was too big for him.
But to let someone know they are sacked in this disrespectful awful way is disgusting and cowardly. He found out through reading the papers , come on. No decency here at all. Not cool.
He seems to have taken it philosophically and has learnt from it. Good luck to him in his new job.

I think it is awful to treat anyone with such disrespect.....Brian should have been told upfront. On saying that I don't think he did a good job.......he got on my nerves and is very much to full of himself. Emma Willis is better than Brian but again she gets on my nerves also!.......Too much laughing at things that are simply not funny......or is it a case of when your struggling to find something to say just cover it up by a false fit of laughter? Hmmm I think the latter...........anyway I shall be glued whoever hosts BB......but for me it will never be the same without Davina. Davina and BB go together like Fish & chips......Benson & Hedges.......Morecombe & Wise........haha sorry guys getting a bit carried away me thinks!

What a DISGUSTING way to treat your staff. Regardless of what you thought of him personally NO EMPLOYER should be allowed to do this to ANY member of staff.

I did find it very abrupt the way it happened. Fancy finding out from a newspaper!

What a shabby way to treat him, although I do think it was the right decision (badly handled)

What a shocking way to treat their staff. Whether you like someone personally or not, or whether you like the way they do the work, it is irrelevant. Respect doesn't come at a price. I hope this new programme works for him. I inferred from his statement that taking over from Davina wasn't easy, and I think he will be more of a success on a new show that's his so there are no comparisons. I don't know him and I find him annoying but he seems alright as a person. Good luck to him.

How shitty and outrageous of them to fire an employee and not even have the decency to tell them in person or in writing?!

I know they continued to pay him as per the terms of his contract but getting dumped in that manner was professionally damaging - albeit temporarily.

Can't see it happening to Emma but Rylan had better watch his back.

yeah he does that on a weekly basis so see how he likes it, I can't help but agree with this joke!

We must be the minority because I loved it when he read from the autocue... and remember "you're too late" he made some cracking one liners!

At the end of the day it I a job just like any other, surely he could se them, unless his new job is a consolation prize to keep quiet.

Not a fan of Rylan and Emma Willis' insistence she is the ultimate fan annoys me, waiting in the wings to get the top job.

Davina McCall IS Celebrity/Ultimate/Big Brother!

Glad he was humiliated. Now he knows how jim Davidson felt on Hells Kitchen when he had a hissy fit over some of jims jokey banter and got jim chucked off.
He was obvious to go before jim turned up and won the show.
Ain't karma a bitch Brian?

Wouldn't Luke A (winner of BB13) be included in that list too?

Luke was Channel 5 - I think the thread is about Channel 4

How is that exactly when Jim was supposed to appear in CBB11 when Brian was still presenting?
