Sorry if this is old news, but I'm on my phone and the search function doesn't work too well so I can't see if this has already been discussed.

Anyway, I just found out that Danny (and Winston from the last civilian BB) both appeared in an ITV2 (?) programme with Emma Willis called Girlfriends? (never heard of it). Wasn't a massive fan of Danny's but I've gone right off him now, it's like some sort of incestuous relationship, this whole reality TV, isn't it!

It does seem you have to have at least been a 'walk on'/extra on TOWIE/Geordie Shore/Made in Chelsea OR a contestant on Deal or No Deal/The Cube/any other gameshow to get a sniff of becoming a housemate sadly.

I was actually just about to make a thread on the same subject.

Last year, most if not all the housemates had already appeared in some form of media before eg Helen, Pauline, Mark, Kimbot etc

And it appears this is the case this year too such as Jack on Deal or No Deal, Marc on some Irish show, Kieran on a channel 4 dating show and Danny on 'Girlfriends' to name a few.

All a bit disappointing.
