Big Brother's Becky 'offered weight-loss reality series' August 2, 2012 12:40 by Josh Darvill
BB_DAY 56_BECKY CRYING OVER LUKE A'S BMI COMMENT
Big Brother housemate Becky has reportedly been offered her own reality series.
The 21-year-old hasn’t even left the house yet, but is apparently wanted by a telly production company for her own weight loss series.
Let’s just hope this company are more real than barbell media.
A source tells Now magazine this week: “Becky’s constantly eating – she’s always snacking between her meals in the house.
“She has a serious food addiction. She claims she’s happy with the way she is, but if she doesn’t lose weight her health is at risk.”
According to the magazine, Becky is wanted for her own fly on the wall series that will follow her weight loss and even surgery to have a gastric band fitted.
The source explained: “There’s a production company desperate to sign her up.
“They’re hoping she agrees to have the band fitted and becomes one of the success stories of the series.”

If that's the case why closed the voting ?

if you go to the nominations announced page on CH5 web site and follow links from the bottom you get the voting info despite another page saying voting closed 

 

I think FB is deliberately down to avoid any problems hence they are offering to refund credits 11 days before the final - technical problems dont take that long to fix

Good to hear.I never believe the old chestnut "Such and such number isn't working" but there has been so much written about the numbers not connecting to the proper HM I did wonder.I have voted via the land line and had no problem .

If and it's a big if this is true then it must have been mooted before by Becky that she is not happy with her weight and wants a gastric band.  I believe she will deffo release the ubiquitous get fit lose weight DVD but it wouldn't surprise me if she took advantage of an offer like this - all depends on it being true

Wow thanks YR I'll give that a go....

You're welcome you'll have lots of BB vids to catch up on

As Caroline would say it's ridiculous   BB have lost the plot and we're losing it too I'm wondering if they'll announce tonight how the K25 can be won. The Roomers shouldn't have an opportunity to win so must be one of the hm's, hmmm.

As they've had tech faults for around 3 weeks I started to wonder if there's something untoward going on with FB voting

Hi Xochi, yep, slow to put that out there, When something goes wrong with phone in votes, for whatever show, I often wonder how many people bother to claim their money back. If many don't bother then that extra money made should go to charity. There seems to be a lot of problems in keeping this show running smoothly
