I couldn't wait for this year's Big Brother launch show.
If I'm honest, I can never wait for any Big Brother launch show. Every year I sit in a delighted trance on the couch as the new house is unveiled, levitating with excitement with each revelation - (What? This year's housemates have to dig their way in via an underground warren? Brilliant!) and chuckling as Davina bounds from room to room and rolls around on the shag pile carpet. Again. She's such a card.
This year was no different.
From the second the uber-bronzed beefcake Mario put his muscley foot out of the limo, I was hooked. A couple? Who knew! A pretend couple? Genius! Wait, a real-couple-who-pretend-they-don't-know-each-other-and-a-pair-of-total-stangers-who-pretend-they're-in-love? What are you trying to do to me?
And what a motley crew they are this year. As each housemate made their way up the infamous staircase to the tune of a million boos (from members of the public who had never seen nor heard of them before) I knew we were in for another long summer.
As the leggy, blonde and, dare I say it, wag-tastic Stephanie sachayed through the doors, I could feel my excitement beginning to build. By the time over-exuberant ballet dancer Dennis pirouetted through the baying hordes wearing some kind of miniature sequinned top hat I felt myself wilting.
Apparently BB is going 'Zero Tolerance' this year. Yeah? Well so am I! Impress me Channel 4, I'll be watching.
