Ok, so you're 67 years old and someone says here's 500k...
Cristo (radio presenter) was speaking on LBC earlier this morning about how he's had friends who have gone into the BB house and that it pays very, very well... so in his opinion, there is no way Biggins was on 100-150k... it would be at least twice that, possibly more than three times... for arguments sake let's call it 500k... a cool half-a-million... As Biggins agent is Jonathan Shallit his contract would have been tighter than tight and Cristo can't see him walking away without a sizeable payment...
So, you're 67, nearing the end of your career (panto is supposed to be hard work after all) and all you have to do is to go into a house for a few days, say something offensive (to some, not to others) and out you come.... Biggins has spoken in the past about his money problems... his days of making money are on the decline, and he might just fancy spending the rest of his days in the sunshine. If you have a wide circle of friends who know what you are really like... would YOU accept that deal and think, f*ck it, I want the money. Yep, I think I would. |

He's lost the lucrative BOTS gig, though.

I would too, though by all accounts he isn't getting paid so that back fired.

That's what came up on radio though - that "not getting his fee" isn't the same as "not getting any money".... not if you have a Jonathan Shallit contract |

he didn't do the job - he shouldn't get paid.

There obviously a lot that goes on behind the scenes that were not privy to - it would be surprising if Biggins was really thrown under the bus by his tv cronies - more like your guaranteed half a mil just say something outrageous and we'll have you removed amid massive controversy.

- don't think so.Yes I expect there is loads we are not being told, I'm guessing that in spite of being spoken to by BB on [at least] three occasions asking him to consider carefully what he was saying, he chose not to, or did not think before he spoke and he had to go. Would I take £500,000 to go into the house, you wouldn't see my backside for dust. I do have doubts about this figure, Cristo is very much a presenter who is somewhat fond of hyperbole... |
