Does anyone know when he joins? It's unwatchable at the moment. I've followed a couple of series of this before now and this is so boring.

Is he being parachuted in half-way through or something? Maybe he can't do 28 days because of his age. Come on The Biggins.

He seems to have been underestimated by most of the papers, but Fergus Shanahan in The Sun reckons he'll be the dark horse in there.

I love those clips of him in Nigel Planer's Nicholas Craig acting masterclasses.

Hope he wins. Really liked this piece he wrote, presumably before he jetted out there, (put in the www.)

First Night parties won't be the same while he's away

Anyone going into the Jungle would have to pass a strict medical, Biggins is in his late 50's but older people have been in there before and the guy would have a cult following. He'd be great entertainment and alongside Janice Dickinson he'd be a scream, I mean there were people in there who are far less well known than Biggins.

Saw it last night with CB ~ he did very well ~ got covered in insects and jungle gunge and managed to win the camp some dinners unlike Ms Dickinson who you could so slap for her dramatic antics but the voting public seem to like watching her wince and winge as she's been doing most of the 'tasks'.

Biggins seemed to hit it off with Janice and was the perfect foil for her comments, he always seems a genuinely friendly guy and being larger than life will become popular in the cap.

He's 7/4 favourite to win it.

Come on Biggles, win it and come out of there in a Mother Goose outfit.

Legend.

Blimey, that brings back memories of Swansea, Boxing Day, 1986.

I used to think Christopher Biggins was a good actor (saw him in the video version of Joseph with donny Osmand). This all changed though when i went to see, Guys and dolls with patrick Swayze.
me and my family were waiting at the stage door after the show when Christopher walked round the corner, to go into say hello to the cast. Of course the secruity had to ask for any Id etc to prove that they had people inside waiting. when a secruity guard asked Christopher, he decided to turn around and say' I dont need ID, you should know us theatre people were the most important people any where' to which the secruity guard again asked for ID, Chris turned round and said 'Dont you know us theatre people?' to which, the secruity said 'NO, who are you?'. Someone in the crowd said 'Hes a washed up actor from many years ago'. Everyone giggled.
So now to me hes just an idiot, who is desperate for a career boost..I sure hope he doesnt win as i cant stand the thought of him being on tv, for weeks, after the shows finished.

So why don't you think he's a good actor ? Imean I can imagine he isn't, but you haven't provided any evidence here on that topic.

Your story may be true, but even so he's probably got the smallest ego in there. Most theatre people are a bit stuck up - sad to say...

He is a lovely kind man, especially to those starting out in the business

he may be nice, but to me it completly ruined his whole persona,plus i hate it when people say,'dont you know who i am' etc. And when i met michael ball outside hairspray, he was lovely chatty etc.. a man who in my opioin is absolutly amazing and there s no way Chris Biggins, is anywhere near him in theatre, did not once say 'dont you know who i am' . so for someone like chris biggins to say it is absolutly disgusting.. all he was trying to do is to resrect a very very poor carrer

Maybe it's time the programme was re-titled "I'm A Washed-Up Has Been Celebrity........................" since most of them are that anyway.

I have met Christopher Biggins many times outside stage doors and has always been
courteous and chatty. He is one of the most pleasant people I have ever met

Though I'm sure what you write is true, it does surprise me and sounds totally out of character - maybe he had visited the theatre many times and thought he was being wound up or he was having a bad day. I've had several friends who have worked with him and have nothing but praise for him and his kindness, including his being particularly friendly to visiting elderly relatives, etc. And I met him once in passing and he was charming and amusing, including gently joshing with my small shy son, which was sweet of him . I've met some monsters but he certainly wasn't one of them.

Celebrities have their off moments like everyone else.

The show is trash and its 'cast' is trash but Biggins is doing OK.

You wouldn't judge anybody else on a 30 second encounter.

Good luck in the final Biggins!

BIGGINS IS ONE OF THE MOST LOVELY PEOPLE YOU COULD WISH TO MEET.I'M SO GLAD HE WON I'M A CELEB.
HE SHOWED HIS COMPASSION AND BRAVERY.I WOULDN'T EAT A KANGAROO ######.WOULD YOU?I'VE MET HIM ON MANY OCCASIONS AND HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN CHARM ITSELF.ALSO,IN REPLY TO TOOTHFARIE,HE WAS MARVELLOUS IN PORRIDGE WITH RONNIE BARKER.NOT A BAD CREDIT TO HAVE ON YOUR CV.

THE MAN IS A COPLETE PLONKER,HOW HE GETS ON T/V I JUST DONT KNOW.

well thank you for that in depth analysis on a topic that has been dead and buried for nearly a year!!!

I think it must be near Christmas as the onslaught of abusive guest posts seem to be coming to the forefront again!

Frank by name, Frank by nature!! You are obviously bored.........or just bit strange.
