BIB - I don't think that's an apt comparison. Pete Burns's popularity predated his appearance on Celebrity Big Brother.

The popularity as expressed in this thread, for example.
I wouldn't say he was particularly popular or famous pre BB. He had one big hit in 1985 under a groups name and was hardly heard of since was he. I recall seeing him in ' Never mind the buzzcocks' once but that's about it. He wasn't a big celeb pre BB |

Hardly popularity. This is a BB thread and he was in BB. He's now dead so quote rightly there is a thread about him. You alluded to his popularity pre BB.

You have said pretty much everything I wanted to say. He was the best CBB contestant ever in the best CBB series ever. His unexpected friendships with George Galloway and Denis Rodman and (up to a point) Michael Barrymore were CBB gold, never to be equalled. Those were the days, when CBB offered intelligent, interesting, and/or witty conversation on a regular basis. RIP Pete Burns, RIP Celebrity Big Brother.
"Sad to hear of the demise of Pete Burns. He was a cross between Oscar Wilde and Dorothy Parker. You don't get more brilliant than that. RIP" - George Galloway Wonderful epitaph - he would have been happy with that. |

All epitaph is to recall and show respect
So the fact that you don't agree is neither here nor there. The deluded friend of Saddam, George Galloway, has his. |
