IMOGEN REVEALS NAKED AMBITION

WELSH beauty Imogen Thomas bares her boobs ? and proves she has a body to dai for. Imogen, 23, was in her late teens when she posed for the topless pictures hoping it would lead to work as a glamour model.

A source said: "She was desperate for fame and didn't mind using her amazing body to get it. She really enjoyed posing for the camera and didn't take much persuading to get her top off."

But Imogen vowed never to strip off again after she won Miss Wales in 2003. Our source added: "Miss World take a dim view of their contestants baring all. Imogen went into the house knowing the photos would come out so I'm sure she'll take it on the chin."

Are Punters Bored By Big Brother?

Bookies William Hill have seen a drastic fall in the number of wagers placed on Big Brother in the last week and punters seem to have lost interest in the latest instalment of the hit show.

"Trading has been very disappointing in the last week or so and the only explanation we can come up with is that punters no longer care. Big Brother need to come up with something extraordinary to reignite the spark." said William Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.

In the outright betting Pete remains the 1/2 favourite to win BB7 with Nikki offered at 4/1. Lea is the totally friendless 100/1 outsider.

William Hill Latest Big Brother Betting: 1/2 Pete, 4/1 Nikki, 10/1 Glyn, 16/1 Spiral, 16/1 Michael, 20/1 Mikey, 20/1 Jonathan, 20/1 Jenny, 20/1 Aisleyne, 25/1 Jayne, 50/1 Richard, 50/1 Imogen, 66/1 Suzie, 100/1 Lea.

----------------

Yes they're bored with it! I reckon the next challenge should be for them all to have a big fight in a Gladiators style and the first one out gets chucked out... hopefully nikki!

Well Grace appeared in the "Nuts" magazine, after saying she wouldn't in the BB house. So she's probably changed her views on a few things ;-)

Anything Grace said can be taken with a grain of salt. It was clear to me she'd not know the truth if it socked her in the jaw from the first week :no: She's history now and I don't think the press or anyone else should pay her any mind at all. She's not worth it.

Nikki minutes from death

Image
Struggle ... Sue with Nikki at 15, already in the grip of anorexia

FAMED for her constant tantrums Big Brother drama queen Nikki Grahame is certainly entertaining, but quite simply she should not be on our screens.
Yes, her hilarious Diary Room antics and crying fits make compelling viewing but this 24-year-old is essentially a very mixed-up and vulnerable girl who has spent most of her life battling anorexia.
Mum Sue confides: ?Gradually she lost weight until she was less than three stone.
?One Boxing Day when Nikki was 15 I remember I?d just put a roast in the oven when I got a call from the hospital saying she?d got so thin she was critical.
?I went to see her and I was told by the doctor she?d pass away within 15 minutes. I cradled her in my arms. I?d nearly lost her but I kept on saying, ?You?ve got to fight Nikki, because there is a life out there for you?.?

Image
Close ... but mum Sue should have kept Nikki out of BB house

Nikki developed her dangerous eating disorder aged EIGHT after a fellow gymnast commented that she looked fat in her leotard.
Sue insists that Nikki has recovered from her anorexia and if she was still struggling, she would never have let her daughter go on the show.
But experts doubt you can ever recover 100 per cent from this illness.
So why on earth has Sue let her daughter go on Big Brother, the modern-day equivalent of throwing the Christians to the lions?
Instead of being exposed to one of the most intrusive TV shows, Nikki should be protected and kept away from the harsh reality that comes along with Big Brother.
And the one person who should be fiercely guarding her the most is her mother.
Image
Perfect for TV? ... Nikki

Of course Sue more than anyone will want to believe her daughter is over her illness and at 24, she should be mature enough to make her own decisions. But she would have done better to advise Nikki against the ghoulish show.
And Endemol, the Big Brother programme makers, are worse still. The production company is essentially endangering their contestant?s mental state in favour of viewing figures.
The signs of Nikki?s frailty are there for all to see. The mark on her stomach is where her feeding tube used to go. The scar is so vivid because the tormented youngster used to rip out the feeding tube so regularly doctors had to sew it inside her stomach wall.
And Nikki herself has admitted that 16 years of battling against anorexia have eroded all the enamel on her teeth.
Add to that, she constantly feels the cold and draughts and eats her food with a teaspoon in a bid to control her secret urge to scoff meals.

She is constantly looking for reassurance about her body shape - especially from Pete. She is also an exercise junkie and is always feeling tired ? all signs that the ghost of her eating disorder still looms.
The promotions model even had a boob job on the NHS because she hated her flat chest so much. A brief look at Nikki?s recent history of two attempted drug overdoses, eight years in hospital and two break-outs from hospital, makes it clear that mum and daughter have been through a terrible time.
Image
Exercise fanatic ... Nikki works out in the Big Brother house
Nikki, from Middlesex, was only 12 when she first tried to kill herself.
Her mum explains: ?She stole paracetamol from a shop at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London where she was being treated for not eating.
?She must have swallowed virtually a whole pack of pills. She was very devious and took them off the shelves when no one was looking.?
A few years later Nikki stole more pills and did the same again. ?As soon as I saw her I knew she?d overdosed,? says Sue. ?I blamed myself. I was getting a divorce from her dad and her grandad had just died from cancer.?
Nikki spent the next eight years in and out of institutions. Kyla Padwich, a former friend who was being treated for anorexia alongside Nikki when they were teenagers, recalls: ?I was with her in hospital when she tried to kill herself by overdosing on paracetamol. She really can?t cope with any stress at all.?

Image
Full interview ... More magazine

Kyla, 24, continues: ?It's obvious to anyone who?s had the condition she?s still not over it.?
But even though Sue is desperate to see her daughter put those miserable years behind her, there can?t be many worse places than Big Brother for someone as susceptible as Nikki.
Sue recalls: ?It was hell seeing what she went through but she was the master of not eating. She?d attack staff who tried to help her.?
This is the longest postwoman Sue has gone without seeing her daughter.
She says: ?That?s why I keep the TV on all the time and am constantly talking to it! During all those years of her being in an institution with everybody trying to keep her alive, I never got to really be a mum.?
Well, now is your chance. Sue. Get your daughter out of there ? before it?s too late.
Deanne Jade, founder of the National Centre Of Eating Disorders, branded Big Brother ?scurrilous? and warned vulnerable people were being put at risk.

She said: ?If you are inches away from death from an eating disorder that is generally a sign there are more serious problems underneath.
?These people can remain very fragile with poor self-esteem or are carrying a lot of shame and could be very sensitive to public brickbats.
?I would seriously think twice about putting anyone through a scenario where they are under public scrutiny.?


If you or someone you know is suffering from an eating disorder, contact the National Centre for Eating Disorders on 0845 838 2040.

This explains her childlike behaviour. She's not had time to grow into an adult because of all the problems she's had in her life. It makes you understand her a wee bit more.

Her mother never should have let her go in there. I'm sure it wasn't her decision to make and Nikki probably would have either way, but if the mother had warned Big Brother her daughter might be in danger by going in they'd of thought about it....then again maybe not since they're all about ratings and money.

Yeah that's what I thought, it sort of does explain why she behaves the way she does and also why she is so easily crushed by criticism and bullying. She's extremely vulnerable.

I doubt BB cares about the mental stability of the housemates really. If anything they help to drive them mad.

Russell Brands' coments - from NOTW -- This one is early June

Image

NIKKI: That girl needs an orgasm. She gets so worked up about nothing then flies off the handle. But I really like her. Should make the last three.

GRACE: What was she like throwing that water at Susie? Now there's a person who's out of touch.

LISA: I find her annoying and when Mikey was carrying her around on his shoulder in the garden I was rather hoping he'd toss her like a caber? right over the fence, all the way to Manchester.

MIKEY: From the clips of him and Grace under the duvet Grace definitely wasn't bobbing for apples.

IMOGEN: Now Grace is gone, perhaps her and Mikey, the two most attractive housemates will become the couple they were always intended meant to be. They seem to be meant to have a romance?like Holly oaks characters.

SUSIE. She has a vacant expression and isn't able to express her emotions. She never seems flustered but doesn't seem real. Can't envisage her ever saying anything insightful.

AISLEYNE: I'm more interested in her now that she's feisty. Had a proper go at Lisa. I like her attitude, she's authentic, upfront and bright.

PETE: We don't see so much of him now, I think to stop him romping home with it.

RICHARD: Not really contributed much recently. Very self-aware and becoming more powerful now the that ?plastics' are going each week.

GLYN: I just love him. During beergate he ran away?and looked like he was running all the way back to Wales.

LEA: Still find her oily, fascinating and ridiculous. But she keeps saying she wants to get off with me when she gets out, which is worrying.

:) :) :)


-------------------------

Here are his views from 25 June

LISA: The swear-machine's departure was unavoidable. And sparking up a fag on the cooker as she left was the least dignified departure since...well, last week when Grace threw water at Susie.

SUSIE: Total waste of space. Shame she's going to avoid eviction thanks to the new housemates. If putting her in there was a fix, it was a poorly conceived one.

NIKKI: A shining beacon of excellence. Adorably innocent, almost like a sitcom character.

Has an opinion on absolutely anything and refuses to "suck a*se"?which sounds more like one of Lea's videos than a dislike of sycophancy. Emerging as a possible winner.

LEA: Nauseating when she talks about sex?so pragmatic I can't imagine anyone actually doing it with her. Leaves me withering on the vine.

AISLEYNE: Comes across well. Seems honest, attractive and up-front. Nor does she take any s***. Signs of a burgeoning romance with Pete. Had a good week.

IMOGEN: Not seen any genuine emotion except when she defended herself from Richard. Some people drift through life unscathed just because they are beautiful?she's one, but her personality has clearly suffered.

MIKEY: A vain man in love with his hair. I agree with the comedian Bob Mortimer's verdict: He's a perfumed builder.

The hope for us all is that he and Imogen will get some sort of attractive-couple thing going. For someone as handsome as him, I'm surprised at his lack of confidence.

PETE: His constant bafflement that everyone fancies him is interesting as he clicks and whistles his way through a series of embarrassing encounters.

Everyone wants a piece of this boy and from what we've heard there's enough to go around.

RICHARD: Apart from his predatory homosexual lifestyle, he's as straight as can be. He's obsessed with rules and regulations. Are all Canadians this boring? My tip for nomination this week.

GLYN: Detests Richard. Hilarious when he lashed out and told him in that North Wales squeak to "f**k off!" His sexual inexperience shone through when Lea dirty danced for him and he was left totally transfixed.

3 July



I tHINK the second house is a shot in the arm for the series when it most needed it. Now, as for the housemates...

JONATHAN: I don't think Jon will dilly-dally in wooing Aisleyne. He's her type and this is a potential love match. The house next door will soon be a love shack.

AISLEYNE: I liked her eviction night dress. She was basically nude with a blue cloud near her. And she was ludicrously happy to stay in the show. Spouts ghetto slang, which I enjoy. But now Spiral's in the house, she flags up her Irish-ness.

SPIRAL: He and other new housemates. Nudity seems to something people are keen to see and the new housemates will oblige. Maybe we'll find Spiral got his nickname from an odd-shaped appendage.

JAYNE: Will get really irritating flashing of her a***.

MICHAEL: Got on Blind Date by pretending to be straight?then fixed it so his female picked him for a hol. Maybe on BB, they'll find out he's been seeing Richard for years?and they will tunnel between the houses.

JENNIE: Loud and regional, like Lisa. She's excitable and has a lot of energy. Looks like she had a boob job.

PETE: Not the clear winner he was. Some grins and gurns seem slightly put on.

NIKKI: I love her. The wailing when she found an ulcer on her cheek was hilarious. I'd love to see that woman in childbirth.

MIKEY: He's driving me up the wall. Just take Imogen! Why can't he commit to a red-blooded love affair?

IMOGEN: Still nothing but beauty.

RICHARD: He thinks he's so wise but he's full of clich?s such as "Be yourself!" and "Chin up!"

SUSIE: Said she nearly went "A over T" in the shower. Can't bear to say dirty words. So what does she do during sex? Tame.

GLYN: Spew was great. He could be first BB contestant given an ASBO.

LEA: Latches on to people and drains them. Emotionally incontinent?and falls in love with anyone.


Here's Russell's zany take on the housemates for this week!

LEA: She told Davina I'm fit?so I've been warned! There's a very real risk one of us will end up pregnant.

If only her breasts were flesh, instead of filled with man-made fibres. It would be like fondling a sack of loft insulation. It won't be easy for her son Henry to cope with the fact that she didn't want to come home, but I'm sure Lea (right) will shower him with attention and start the work of rebuilding that young man's psyche.

SPIRAL: Confrontational, so he could bring a lot to the house. I expect the Irishman to stir things up like fellow hip-hop DJ Science did last year. And I wouldn't be surprised if Aisleyne reclaims her Irish heritage?in a very primal way.

JENNIE: Quite attractive and a bit brash, but not sure what she'll be able to contribute. Could be a realistic love conquest for Glyn now that he's deprived of his ludicrously unattainable fantasy Lea.

NIKKI: Been relatively quiet for her?so just the few breakdowns in the Diary Room.

AISLEYNE: Her emotional display over having to evict Jonathan was excruciating. You'd think she was sending him to the electric chair. And how ridiculous saying she could still hear his voice. He's not dead, just evicted.

JAYNE: She has huge potential. She talks about sex, she burps and farts. Jayne (right) is an unreconstructed swamp woman. She sees all the men as potential conquests, so I imagine Glyn will be a wreck by the end of next week. She's going to be fun.

RICHARD: He's such a pious, righteous bloke. But he's good for the House. He polarises housemates and I think that's positive.

But I don't find him particularly entertaining, mostly because of his assumed position of authority and wisdom.

Perhaps the arrival of Michael will spur him into some sort of homosexual vibrancy, but I always feel bad assuming that two gay people are bound to have it off.

SUSIE: She's afraid of the human body and the physical, yet she's a mother.

I'd really like it if she had a relationship with Jayne because they are polar opposites of each other.

MIKEY: He's been faffing around with Imogen. They're the best looking people in there still so I really expect them to start contributing now.

Mikey (right) has been much too reticent and hasn't really given us anything to keep us amused. All he's got to offer is some sort of domestic pornography. Get on with it, lad.

GLYN: He continues to be lovely. I liked it when Pete and Nikki were in bed ? Glyn's innocent intrigue of sex was wonderful. He just wandered over to look at...sex. He is so excited by everything. For most of us being in the House would feel like being in prison because it's so restrictive.

But for Glyn it's a sexual Chessington World of Adventures.

PETE: We don't see much of him now. He seems to have become a self-parody.

Initial confidence that he would walk it has been severely dented.

Now he just seems to be doing an impression of someone with Tourette's.

MICHAEL: He's quite clever and someone people can identify with. Other than Eugene last year, no newcomer has ever done that well.

I don't think he'll win it, but he's an interesting catalyst. It will be fascinating to see how he affects Richard.

He's argued with Jayne so I think he could cause conflicts by being quite bright and on a different plane. He doesn't seem to be someone who just wants to be a TV presenter, although I'm sure he does.

IMOGEN: Apart from walking naked across the scrubby garden, what else could Imogen (left) do to cheer us up?

If she did magic tricks or fire breathing I'd still want her just to walk naked across the garden. I'm transfixed by her prettiness.

Even if she suffocated Glyn in the night I'd still say: "Give her another chance."

I agree with most of his views on the housemates funnily enough, and especially with Nikki as I've liked her from the start.

I know the rest of you can't stand her but I think she's a good housemate. :)
