Big Brother
Contain your excitement but "car racing champion" Jeremy Metcalfe is appearing on the new series of Big Brother... (For those that don't know, Martin raced in FR in 2007.)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7169309.stm Incidentally, even Jeremy's own site doesn't claim that he has any titles in cars. |

Shouldn't he be looking to further his career after being beaten by his rookie team-mate last year?

He's doing great so far, The Times have described him as arrogant.

If this works to furthering his career, I fear it could set a precedent.
I hate that bloody program. |

Woh, I'm really out of touch with these things... I though the state was taking an interest in racing series!

Yeah, just read about it in The Sun, and this Metcalfe surname sounded the bell. Do not know how's he doing, because I don't watch this c.., but IMO this is his way to find backing, now question is: will making fool of himself in front of viewers help him? With another Jade Goody - Shelpa Shetty racial row won't discard him in the eyes of potential backers?

Health warning: watching Big Brother may be harmful to the brain.

It could work out well for him. If he comes across well, and attains celeb status, it can only help to attract funding for a decent drive. On the other hand, if he comes across badly, or refers to anyone as a poppadum, it could be curtains for his career.
Quick quiz - Name the British racing driver whose 'big brother' appeared in the first series of Big Brother. |

I see from today's MN that he has only gone into the house to 'further his career' - what a suprise.
