A Big Brother icon has shared what stars must not do so that they can breeze through the series.
Former Celebrity Big Brother star Vanessa Feltz spoke exclusively to Daily Star about her time on the ITV reality show and when asked if she would do anything differently regarding her second time in the Celebrity Big Brother house, Vanessa listed the three things an ITV contestant should never do.
She told us: “No, I was really good the second time. I really got the hang of it. I was jolly, nice, didn’t take anything personally.”
“You’ve got to sit with the group so you don’t look like a right Billy No Mates. I know that you musn’t refer to yourself as the third person, which people suddenly start doing as soon as they go in which I don’t understand.”

“I was fine the second time so if I went in again I’d just be my lovely, charming, gorgeous self. I’m convinced I’d be a delight for everybody. Nobody could think of anything more than how much they’d adore seeing me on TV. I should [know the ropes] now, shouldn’t I?”
We also asked Vanessa whether she’d be up for going in for a third stint, to which she replied: “Yeah, sure. If they asked me I’d go straight back, why not? It’s been 15 years so it’s about time I went back in really!”

“There was no such thing as reality TV. There was no epidemic of reality TV because it wasn’t everywhere, it had just started, there was no epidemic of celebrity television either. It didn’t exist really. It was a brand new thing, nobody knew what to expect.”

“By the time I did it the second time around in 2010, I’d seen it, knew precisely what to expect so I knew how to cope with it, so you could say.”
