Natalie Cassidy Celebrity Big Brother Favourite

Monday, January 9th, 2012

Natalie Cassidy Agent Contact BB

The 2012 series of Channel 5’s revamped Celebrity Big Brother began last week with notable stars including: Hollywood actor, Michael Madsen; Welsh rugby player Gareth Thomas and former Corrie star Denise Welch.

However, it’s former Eastenders star, Natalie Cassidy, who appears to have taken an early lead as favourite to win the show. The 29 year old actress was first to enter the house but also first to be assigned a typically mean CBB secret mission. Miss Cassidy was presented with a hidden earphone, through which she was ordered to say awkward and embarrassing comments to other housemates as they settled in to the house warming party. Comments included telling Michael Madsen that she loved him “in Free Willy” and telling Nicola McLean, who she had a famous spat with, that she’s “ok” with her being in the house – 3 times in as many minutes.

Miss Cassidy dealt with the task incredibly well, winning praise from host Brian Dowling and supportive messages on CBB’s official Facebook page.

Other contestants on this year’s edition include X Factor rock rebel, Frankie Cocozza, Playboy twins Kristina and Karissa, and “triple threat” Andrew Stone.

Big Brother contestants continue to be in demand by event planners for public appearances, launch events and award ceremonies. For advice booking former BB and CBB stars, please contact our London agents on 020 7836 4759 (option 1).

Big Brother Housemates Start to Display Potential for Post-Show Bookings

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

Studying this year’s crop of Big Brother housemates has taken up a bit of our time this week as we try to determine which housemates will progress to the final weeks and build up booking-worthy public interest. It may seem odd, but Big Brother housemates are an extremely popular booking for corporate clients looking to promote their products or services to the young generation of avid Big Brother fans. Those who follow the show tend to do so avidly and as a result, build up strong opinions, likes and dislikes regarding their favourite housemates, ultimately voting with their hard earned money to keep their favourites in the house. Those who watch the show take part in the journey of that particular housemate and they subsequently become an important and relatable media profile. Brian Dowling, Kate Lawler and Brian Belo all enjoyed this rapport with Big Brother fans and it is obvious why they are still popular with clients looking to hire a Big Brother Housemate today.

It may be still too early to tell, but there are a few candidates for success in the current house. Sophie Reade, whose legal name is now Dogface thanks to a particularly cruel BB task, will no doubt have a glittering career in modelling waiting for her post eviction or victory, which ever comes first. Rodrigo is the clear fans favourite at the moment with Heat magazine professing their love and the bookies labelling him early favourite. The dark horse of the show could be Freddie Fisher, now known as Halfwit after he carried out the same task as Dogface. He seems likeable enough although he’s perhaps even too wide eyed to go the distance. The housemates seem to think so after putting him up for eviction this week. As the show progresses, it will be interesting to see who reveals their hidden talents and that unquantifiable likeability that keeps certain former housemates so popular for so long.
