'Big Brother 8 winner Brian Belo has claimed that the show is better off without so much press attention.

The reality TV star, 22, said that the Channel 4 series had become more enjoyable for viewers since tabloid newspapers stopped "forcing characters" upon them.

He also insisted that the gradual drop in ratings over recent seasons wasn't down to a decline in the programme's quality.

"I'm enjoying this series more than what are commonly considered more popular years," he told DS. "I think it's a shame really that people look at paper inches and column inches as to whether a TV show is good or not.

"If you just watch it, I think most people agree it's a good show and there's some good housemates. It's not as well-written about as it used to be, but I think when the papers were obsessed it ruined the show a little as they forced characters upon us.

"Now the viewers can decide themselves whether they take or leave the characters."

Belo has been appearing regularly as a guest on this year's Big Brother's Big Mouth.'


Agree or Disagree? Smiler.

I disagree, it wasnt the papers that forced the characters it is C4 that always pushes their favourite and in the past have had some farcical manipulations around notably Nikki and Charley.

I am sorry bellend either be a bellend in a mankini or drop the act and try and write as an intellectual about the show. Dont try and do both.

The reason why there is less interest is because there is nothing new anymore they have pretty much done it all. Instead of embracing new technology to have greater control over what we can see in the house we have had gradually less and less. Was it really the first show that allowed us to view cameras in each room online and not the last one?

There has certainly been a lot of lying in the press, in previous years. I haven't seen anything this year, mind!
Sophie pregnant? The papers used to pick up on funny stories and happenings on forums as a result of livefeed. Sometimes they would take posts almost word for word. Now its not worth the effort for them to do it for the HL show.
