Big Brother's Andrew Tate, who on Monday night was removed from the house over a sexual video he'd filmed four years previously, is now threatening to start his own version of BB.
This is MAD.
In a slightly angry Facebook video posted this morning, Andrew filmed himself sitting behind the wheel of a BMW with a massive gym bag stuffed full of bank notes on the passenger seat.
"If Big Brother don't put me back, I'm starting my own Big Brother house," he said while riffling through the money.
"I've got £100K in cash, I'll get my own mansion, my own contestants, and I'll make this show good for real."
He then issued this warning to Channel 5 bosses:
"If they don't put me back in IM STARTING MY OWN BIG BROTHER. F*ck it.
"I've taken all the money The Sun, The Daily Star and The Metro have paid me for interviews and I'm Gona rent a mansion for a month put a webcam in every room and stream it online 24 hours a day.
"Everyone who gets in gets paid 1500 instantly to cover costs."
He even had a plan for raising more money from advertising – pretty good business model, tbh.
"Any money raised from adverts broadcast will go into the prize pot for whoever wins.
"UNLIMITED ALCOHOL AND NO RULES IN DADDYS HOUSE."
Hmm. Sounds a bit… illegal? Can we do this? Is this a legal thing you can do?
Andrew went on: "I've hired 3 full time members of staff to help me find a mansion and contestants."
Ah yes – the contestants. Well the good news is that you can apply to be in Andrew Tate's weird anti-Big Brother house. IF he can find a TV channel to broadcast it. And if Channel 5/the police/actual Ofcom don't tackle him to the ground first, or sue him for all the money in that gym bag.
"To apply: Retweet or share this - WE WILL BE CHECKING. Upload a 60 second video of yourself to YouTube explaining why you should be in the house. We need 6 men and 6 women. Email the link to your video to daddys.house@mail.com.
"Play times over."
Are you… are you tempted? We're kind of supporting this just because the whole idea is so mad.
Of course, the whole reason behind Andrew's removal from the Big Brother house has finally been revealed – a video of him beating a woman with a belt has emerged, although Andrew and the woman have both said it was consensual.
Anyyyyway. The real Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on Channel 5.
