Big Brother star, Charlie Drummond, has admitted that he is backing fellow Geordie Joe McElderry to win this year’s X Factor.

Charlie told The Shields Gazette:

“I’m backing Joe 100 per cent, and I’m so pleased he’s in Cheryl’s category as well – Geordies together.

“It’s great two South Tynesiders have been in the two biggest reality TV shows this year.

“He did really well on Saturday, I knew he would get through but I just had to pick the phone up, it’s best to be sure.

“Everyone I have spoken to I have been telling them to vote for Joe.

“I have always watched X Factor and I will definitely be watching this year.”

He added: ” He’s in with a really good chance, he’s got it all – he’s good looking, young and can sing. I can’t see why he can’t win it.

“If ever he needs any advice on how to handle the media when the show’s over, I will definitely help him out – from one Sanddancer to another.”

Former Big Brother 10 housemate Noirin Kelly, is reportedly in talks about launching her own TV show and perfume.

The Daily Star reports that Noirin is in talks about fronting an Irish chat show and dating show.

“Apparently I’m really good at dating,” she said. “So I should be able to teach everyone all the tricks.”

On her perfume deal, she added: “I’m really excited about the perfume. The only problem is what to call it. So far the names I’ve come up with include Pheromone, Crush and Heartbreak but I can’t decide which to pick.”

Davina McCall has claimed this years Big Brother went back to basics and despite falling viewing numbers, showed the programme at its best.

McCall told Heat magazine: “BB went back to basics this year and I’ve really enjoyed it. There were no secret rooms or complications. It was Big Brother at its best.

“I loved it when the old Big Brother housemates went into the house, particularly when Rex, in an alpha male way, gave Marcus a pat on the head as if he were a small boy.”

She added: “Even though the rule-breaking meant the housemates lost the prize fund, I have to say I’ve enjoyed their slightly rebellious streak this year.

“The new housemates going in was a real highlight. I think the five we had going in were the best ‘new’ housemates we’ve ever had. Never before have new housemates caused such a stir in the house.”

Big Brother presenter Davina McCall is said to have received a number of death threats during this year’s series.

The Mirror reported that Davina received emails that threatened to kill her on air. Her response was to hire three burly security guards and a private investigator.

A source said: “She was really, really terrified. On the show you wouldn’t have realised anything was wrong, but behind the scenes she was very scared.”

The detective traced the emails to a 19-year-old living near Manchester.

“She was very relieved when he was found,” the insider revealed. “It was a very worrying time for everyone.”

A Big Brother spokesman said: “We always have the appropriate security in place.”

Sophie Reade has won Big Brother 2009, she won with 74.4% of the final vote.

Sophie has been the bookies favourite to take the title all week, though at some points tonight I did wonder if Siavash would pip her to the post.

In the end Si finished second and was forced to face the crowds in his skintight leotard and black stilettos…..oh the disgrace.

Was Sophie your BB winner? Did you even vote? leave your comments below.

I am calling it well tonight. I have predicted every eviction result so far, not that it’s been very surprising.

So David was the third person to be evicted on tonight’s Big Brother final but what stuns me more is the fact that he has survived so long.

Why were people voting for him? Does anyone know?

I knew it! I just knew it! As soon as Rodrigo was evicted it made sense that Charlie would be next.

Yes Charlie Drummond was the second person evicted from the Big Brother house on tonight’s final. Charlie really ahsn’t done himself any favours this week, you think he’d have been on best behavior, being so close to the end and all.

So who’s out next? What about David?

Rodrigo has become the first person to be evicted on tonight’s Big Brother final.

The Queen freak looks happy to be out and met with surprisingly little boos from the eviction crowd.

Who will be next? Charlie I think.

Robbie Williams has said that Channel 4 are wrong to axe Big Brother.

On Chris Moyles Radio 1 breakfast show this morning Robbie said: “I’ve been watching it and loving it, it’s been very very rewarding this series.

“I have to say to the general populace, you’ve got it wrong – I know you’ve fallen out of love with it, but next year give it your all and hopefully it will be a good series and it won’t go away.”

The former Take That star even voted for David to win.

He said: “I’m not bothered about who wins it now but I did vote for David last night. I want to give him a hug.”

Today is David’s Birthday and as a birthday treat Big Brother gave David the opportunity to earn a substantial amount of money towards the winner’s prize fund.

Four podiums were placed in the garden, numbered one to four. On Big Brother’s instruction Sophie, Rodrigo, Siavash and Charlie rated themselves in a series of categories from one to four with one being the most and four being the least in each category.

David was sat in the Diary Room and had to guess which Housemates have been rated most and least in each of the category. For each correct Prediction, David was able to win £10,000 towards the winner’s prize fund.

The results were as follows:

Housemates had to rank themselves in order of viewer popularity. Housemates ranked Charlie as the Housemate most popular with the viewers. David predicted that Rodrigo would be ranked as the Housemate most popular with the viewers. Therefore he was incorrect.

Housemates ranked Siavash as the Housemate least popular with the viewers. David predicted that Sophie would be ranked as the Housemate least popular with the viewers. Therefore he was incorrect.

Housemates had to rank themselves in order of fakeness. Housemates ranked Siavash as the most fake Housemate. David predicted that Sophie would be ranked as the most fake Housemate. Therefore he was incorrect.

Housemates ranked Charlie as the least fake Housemate. David predicted that Rodrigo would be ranked as the least fake Housemate. Therefore he was incorrect.

Housemates had to rank Housemates in order of who had the biggest game plan. Housemates ranked Sophie as having the biggest game plan. David predicted that Siavash would be ranked as having the biggest game plan. Therefore he was incorrect.

Housemates ranked Siavash as having the least game plan. David predicted that Rodrigo would be ranked as having the least game plan. Therefore he was incorrect.

Housemates had to rank themselves in order of selfishness. Housemates ranked Charlie as the most selfish. David predicted that Charlie would be ranked as the most selfish Housemate. Therefore he was correct.

Housemates ranked Siavash as the least selfish Housemate. David predicted that Siavash would be ranked as the least selfish Housemate. Therefore he was correct.

Housemates had to rank themselves in order of the most deserving winner. Housemates ranked Charlie as the most deserving winner. David predicted that Charlie would be ranked as the most deserving winner. Therefore he was correct.

Housemates ranked Sophie as the least deserving winner. David predicted that Sophie would be ranked as the least deserving winner. Therefore he was correct.

As David made four correct predictions, he added £40,000 to the winners prize fund. The winner’s prize fund now stands at £71,320 providing Siavash leaves the Big Brother house in the outfit Big Brother has provided.

Big Brother will be throwing a party to celebrate David’s birthday shortly.
