One of the first things we found out about Richard Newman when he entered the Big Brother hous was that he had a phobia of pregnant women.
After being up for eviction 4 times now, Richard is starting to imagine what it will be like to leave the Big Brother house, and the scariest part won’t be the booing crowd or the flashing cameras, but the pregnant presenter.
While discussing his fears with Michael today Michael stated
“Davina’s pregnant, about to explode, maybe water will come out on the show…”
Richard looked at Michael in horror and told his fellow housemate that if that happens he will just turn and run away from her when he gets out.
I can’t wait to see that interview!
Big Brother 7 presenter, Davina McCall is currently pregnant with her third baby and is so worried that she will go into labour while presenting the shows live final, that she will be bringing her birthing kit along with her.
“I’m having a home birth which means that, actually, I can give birth wherever I go,” Davina told the Sunday Mirror. “If I’ve got the birthing bag with me, I could be giving birth in my dressing room.”
McCall added that her pregnancy will not affect her ability to host the series.
“I get so excited when I’m presenting the show that adrenaline kind of carries me through,” she explained. “It’s after the show’s finished I just feel the need to lie down for a minute.”
Big Brother fans will be offered a unique chance to win a place in the Big Brother 2006 house.
Big Brother will be wrapping 100 golden tickets in chosen chocolate bars over the coming weeks, and out of the 100 ticket holders, one person will be randomly chosen to enter the house.
Big Brother host and mum to be Davina McCall, will announce details of the competition on the launch night, and chocolate bars will go on sale the next day.
A source said: “This will be huge. Never has a random member of the public been able to get in without undergoing the selection process.
“The producers are excited because it’s such a big risk.
“The winner could be the world’s most boring person or the best housemate ever. They have taken inspiration from Willy Wonka because he was all about offering a prize people could only dream of.
“What better dream prize is there than getting in the Big Brother house?�
Thank God I’m a chocoholic!

Celebrity Big Brother host Davina McCall has admitted to hating Traci Bingham when she first entered the Big Brother house this year.
She said: “When Traci walked into the house, I was like-’OMIGOD, look at her!’ And there was a part of me that hated her because she’s beautiful and she’s got such a bodacious body and enormous boobs.”
Former Baywatch actress Traci Binghma did grow on her though and by the end of her time on the house Davina thought she was “just a really kind person who wanted to be feel loved.”
She added to Britain’s Times magazine: “With celebrities there’s an element of people-pleasing and Traci is definitely one of these people and that’s what makes watching her so painful because all she wants is to be loved and hugged and appreciated and told she’s beautiful.”

After the poor viewing figures for Davina McCalls first show for the BBC ‘Hes Having A Baby’ I’m surprised they have asked her back. But Davina will be back on BBC1 next week when she starts her new celebrity chat show.
Her first guests will include Burnage actor Max Beesley, along with showbiz couple Tess Daly, from Stockport, and Bolton’s Vernon Kay.
The mother-of-two denies claims she signed a £1m deal for the series. She said: “I have no contract. I’m just doing eight shows - I can’t wait to get my teeth into it.
“I understand people will be gunning for me, and not everyone will like me. I’m doing all right, so I’m easy to knock.
“My grandmother tries to get me to do something more gritty than a chat show, but it’s important to entertain people.
“Tony Blair probably doesn’t want to watch Paxman or Andrew Marr. He’d prefer to kick off his shoes and see me.”

When asked who she would like to see taking part in the next series of Celebrity Big Brother due to begin in January, Davina answered Pete Doherty and Elton John.
She was quoted as saying “I think we need fiery characters like Pete Doherty,”
Considering the slagging that Queen Elton gave druggie Pete Doherty after their appearance together at Live 8, I expect sparks would fly if the pair met again.
It certainly would make good viewing!

The X Factor hit record ratigs figures on Saturday night when it was watched by 10.6 million people at its peak!
This beat last years top ratings for the show which were 10.5 on the final night with Steve Brookstein and G4.
A spokesman from ITV has said “we are absolutely delighted” . And I bet they are! They have stampled on the BBC’s rival show ‘Hes Having a Baby’ presented by Davina McCall.

Davina McCall has spoke out against critics who have slammed her new show ‘He’s having a baby’.
She told Britain’s Heat magazine: “I am 100 per cent behind it. If anybody hasn’t watched it, which I think is quite a lot of you, you should give it a go because it’s a very good show.”
She blames the poor viewing figures on the success of the second series of the X factor which launched on the same night as her BBC show. She explained: “None of us knew we were going to be up against ‘The X Factor’. It was the worst slot.”

Davina McCalls new show ‘He’s having a baby’ is being moved to the earlier time of 5.30 next Saturday night so that it no longer has to compete with the X Factor for viewers. After a second week of poor rating figures, with Davinas show only getting 1.8 million viewers in comparison with the X Factors 7.2 million, the BBC have conceded defeat and changed slots in a bid to save face.
However the Beeb have no plans to axe the show, a spokesman said “The show is different and imaginative, so we have decided to move it so it doesn’t come up against ‘X Factor’. We believe many ‘X Factor’ viewers would want to watch our show as well,”
