C4 planning a BB Come Dine With Me special?

Topics

Channel 4 is rumoured to be planning a Big Brother Come Dine With Me special.

Former contestant Nick Bateman suggested the idea earlier this year, claiming that he would like to go on the show with series five star Victor Ebuwa, Freddie 'Halfwit' Fisher, Mario Marconi and Darren Ramsay.

He claimed that he pitched the idea to the programme's producers, but the project was turned down.

However, writing on his Twitter account yesterday during filming of the Big Brother 11 promo, Bateman said that Channel 4 is now going ahead with special episode, but will be using different contestants.

"Not doing Come Dine With Me. Instead Brian Belo, Brian Dowling, Nadia [Almada] and somebody else I never heard of," he wrote.

A Come Dine With Me will air tonight on Channel 4 as part of their alternative election coverage, while a WAG World Cup special featuring Nicola Tappenden will air in June.

What a shame Michelle 'Plate Face' Bass isn't included - she could have stunned her guests with her speciality of salt on toast. My stomach still turns at the memory of her making that delicacy.

Or perhaps it's just turning at the thought of Plate Face in general

I'd watch just about anyone on CDWM. Dave Lamb will find it easy pickings with anyone from BB.

I wonder if any contestants get the hump when they see what he says about them.

Agree - and would have loved to have seen Victor

.

Why TV companies insist on giving Belo airtime is beyond me.
