George Galloway checked into the Big Brother house last night for the latest controversial instalment of his political career.
"Gorgeous George", as the MP for Bethnal Green and Bow has been described, has told producers his favourite things are his "daughter, sunbathing and sex".
George Galloway greets crowds outside the Big Brother house The MP, who was thrown out of the Labour Party and founded his own instead, left politics off his list. But he stood at the top of the steps on his way into Channel 4's reality television house, held his fingers aloft in a victory sign and shouted "Stop the war". He was greeted by a chorus of boos.
Inside the house, he introduced himself to fellow "celebrities", saying: "I'm an MP." He enjoyed a prolonged handshake with Faria Alam, the former mistress of England coach Sven Goran Eriksson, and then went to speak to the red-haired actress Rula Lenska.
Claiming he had "no game plan other than to entertain and inform", Mr Galloway said politics was "showbiz for ugly people". He is playing for the charity InterPal, which provides humanitarian aid for Palestinians, and said he would "take the opportunity to speak for a more civilised way of life".
Also among the contestants are entertainer Michael Barrymore who was interviewed by police after Stuart Lubbock was found dead in the pool of his Essex mansion in 2001.
The others include 1980s pop singer Pete Burns, Baywatch actress Traci Bingham, comic Welsh rapper Maggot, glamour model Jodie Marsh, former American basketball player Dennis Rodman and singer Preston, from band The Ordinary Boys.
The final contestant is Chantelle, 22, from Essex, who is not famous but has to convince the other contestants that she is.
The downside of this is that he will get a lot of tabloid publicity. But I don't think it will be favourable. 80 percent of Brits hate the man, while the other 20 percent -- the type that watches big brother -- will soon see what an insufferable monster the man is.
Oh, yuk...hopefully not all at the same time.
Secondly... Mr Galloway said politics was "showbiz for ugly people". He is playing for the charity InterPal, which provides humanitarian aid for Palestinians... no doubt for the families of suicide bombers.
A nation with no sense of morality would see nothing wrong with that being at the same time.
Talk about someone from the Where are they now? file!
She's more important than Galloway.
BLECH!
This is absolutely hilarious. And deeply to the discredit of the British anti war movement.
UK charity transferred cash to Hamas British money paid families of Palestinian suicide bombers
ping!
If his daughter has an all-over tan this guy should be shot. He should be shot anyway, come to think of it.
Just what exactly is a "Big Brother" house? Is that where boys without fathers hang out?
I think this is C4 rather than the BBC
so even when I have no clue, the liberals are just pathetic and predictable.
I thought the BBC owned it, and a few others.
that about says it all.
I'd like to to see these bitches publicly whipped.

Dang...beat me to it!
This loser has definitely jumped the shark.
