It's gonna be huge 

Right, this just popped into my head...one of Endemols head honchos types (or UKBB's) was called...somebody Bazalgette or summat?  I'm off to google because I'm sure it looked more Italian than that.

Well that's convinced me there is no secret, Ife couldn't keep it to herself if her life depended on it!

Oh scratch that, he's not Italian.

So, staff? Mario's on the production team?

OR...it's nuthin and we are being had

*waits for leccys return*

I was wondering if he could be Mario's Dad...it was a long shot anyway because Mario doesn't see his Dad.

or so he tells us

I was all excited then 

Calm down. There is no secret. It's all bollocks.

Boring fact for you here pop pickers, the guitarist from The Vapors (of turning Japanese fame) is Peter Bazalgette's cousin.

Not much help here but it might be a Pub Quiz question one day

That's what I think.  I'm more intrigued about the one big bollock Mario is supposed to have

Leccy - Peter Bazalgette is tall blonde blue eyed...is Mario's mother Mediterranean in any way?  

I knew that!  Must have been mentioned before though.  And something about the sewage system - I'm sure he's a rellie too.

Anyway, why did I read this thread..?  I wasn't bothered about Mario's 'secret' up until now.

Feckin Hell,My heart is beating ten to the dozen,I am actually shaking
What the hell is it .I am going to go mad.

He was on Sunday Night Project once taking part in this BB house thing, you can see him in the video at 6mins... im guessing he is part of the production staff for BB.

Y'see one person's "big secret" is another's "WTF?" Most of us would be wtf...and Leccy, shame on you. Mario's freaky bollock interests me not at all. 

I agree  he wants the show to be all about him and having this secret makes the viewers interested him

Welsh, but loads of you Welsh types are swarthy aren't you.  Imogen, Bradders...even Dave.

Is it something to do with Basque folk? Did I dream that?  Anyway all my Welsh ancestors gave me was blue skin and freckles in the sun

I don't think it's plural.

I just wanna know why or how...is it medical or just y'know impressive.

i think he is a mole......he may be a journalist.he maybe part of the bb backroom staff.but i reckon it's something like that.....so he wasn't just a 'mole' at the start....he always was a mole.......it's that or something completely stupid like he used to know a bloke who knew a girl whose second cousins friends oldest sister used to deliver the paper to davinas house....

A royal?

There are no geighs in the royal family

End -e -mol.

Makes me think he's obviously "in" on it somewhere down the line.

Of course not.  It's proper good blood with no additives whatsoever.

The Celtic type would be dark hair and pale skin. Not swarthy.  And when I say dark hair, that means on the head. There are a fair few Welsh bods with black head hair and ginger eyebrows/beards. 

I'd say Mario wasn't a Welsh name but then I remember we have a lot of Italians here - and some bloody good ice cream as  a consequence.

Whatever it is (and I vote it's nothing) it's gonna be a big damp squib.

Still it's kept Erin occupied for weeks

**yawns** Republican here, don't give a shit.

I was sure I read summat about Spanish looking peeps all over Wales, aside from Celtic looking people....I'm sure it was Nicky Wire who said it...but he talks crap at the best of times.

Mario's dad is apparently Italian, his mothers family are welsh...I forget where he said his granny lives but someone might remember.

I was doing so well too

I've told you lot Mario's secret before. He said in the show it was plain for all to see, and it is. He's Ben's boyfriend. Why do you think it was Fondle City when the two of them were anywhere near each other? Why do you think Ben is more effeminate than 99 per cent of the world's female populace?

Q.E.D.

No ,he nomed Ben ,he didn't seem to upset that Ben went .In fact he barely mentions him .

ooooooooooo prom....you could be right!!!.....

He's Corin's long lost brother...or better still JJ's

well he's john james' b/f then!!

Could Monk Dave be his half brother?
