Stephen Bear - one series of EotB, 80k Twitter followers.

Lateysha - 3 years of the Valleys, 370k followers.

It seems random.

Bear was in the papers a lot for dating Vicky Pattison. Maybe that's why? Idk.

OMG 3 years on The Valleys! I had no idea it was that long

Thank God Jason evicted her, that was so unfair putting her in civilian BB

They're becoming more and more blurred. Ziggy, Marc (last year?), hazel, Laura (this year), they're just ones off the top of my head who could qualify as well as lateysha for cbb now. Considering we've had people like Georgia salpa who could've just as easily gone into a regular series

Also Alex this year too. Had Ryan made it as a live finalist of XF last year - no doubt he would be in the running for CBB this year.

Producers just play it by ear also, im sure the likes of these reality 'stars' fee is pretty affordable too

Maybe Lateysha wanted to go in the normal one as she had a better chance of winning?

I think it comes to the point now that the producers don't decide anymore, but the HMs themselves decide whether they want to be on CBB or BB.

Lateysha probably said she wanted to be on civilian so she had a better chance at winning (more followers). However that confuses me because you'd think someone like Lateysha would choose to go in CBB due to the fact that more people watch it= more chance of her getting deals etc...

Probably because he's got tv work lined up and will be on the 'all stars' EoTB next month. Whereas Lateysha was last on The Valleys in 2014.

Its probably measured by desperation. Those who are truly desperate for airtime will do it for nowt as distinct from those who demand a fee. Nigel Farage on the other hand is so desperate for both he has fortunately priced himself off our screens for the time being.

Isn't he negotiating for a place on I Am a Celebrity?

If he is still asking 750K even they will probably refuse too. He has a nerve since he is still on the MEP gravy train.

That one hugely backfired for her because Jason voted her off for being a celeb.

The cruel fact is, and they won't like it.

But none of them are celebs.

Who would you class as a celeb then? A listers like Beyonce and Brad Pitt ?

Probably because Ex on the beach is more popular and Bear has been asked back again to do the 5th series. They probably want him to dish some dirt on Vicky Pattison aswell.

I like Bear! he's funny. he'll try his chances to any women in this CBB. or he might as well develop a bromance with Fatboy in the house.

Signing up a load reality "stars" on the cheap means they have more money to spend on getting the "bigger" names

Every CBB somebody makes this kind of statement, yet really how many celebs/zelebs have gone onto CBB and 'ditched dirt' on anybody? Not even Perez Hilton did. It's more than their failing careers are worth I would imagine

They probably have dished the dirt but BB's legal "people" have ensured it doesn't make the final edit

Yes, that's a possibility of course I just don't think they go in there with an aim to dishing dirt on people - it makes it sound like a tick list with 'I'll be nasty to...' and a list of names Most people don't live their lives like that. They meet a group of strangers, get to know each other, then start bitching about each other

ETA: There's more likelihood of people outside the house 'dishing dirt' on those within

It's amazing what passes as a celeb these days!

It truly is - I blame the culture of gossip magazines and reality TV - never watch it myself

Georgia Salpa was Ireland's biggest model at the time and was linked to a few celebs at the time. The most astounding one for me was the Botox doctor from Dublin Housewives Danielle Marr.

Yep, totally agree, standards have really dropped.

To be honest, isn't he more well known for those leaked webcam pics?
