Big Brother legend Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace has slammed the revamped reality show ahead of the return of Celebrity Big Brother, admitting that she believes the show is ‘ filtered ‘

Big Brother star Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace has never been one to mince her words, and she is keeping it real once again – this time, taking aim at the new era of Big Brother, slamming the show in a brutal statement.

The outspoken reality star, who became a household name after her fiery stint on Big Brother in 2006, has shared her unfiltered thoughts ahead of Celebrity Big Brother ’s much-anticipated return on 7 April. And, in true Aisleyne style, she hasn’t held back.

When asked about the rebooted series, the 46-year-old didn’t hesitate before delivering her verdict in a brutal three-word takedown: “It’s all filtered now”.

Aisleyne first burst onto screens as a late entrant in Big Brother 7, immediately shaking up the house with her fiery attitude and quick wit. She was never afraid to stand up for herself – whether that meant clashing with housemates like Grace Adams-Short or forming close friendships with Glyn Wise and Pete Bennett.

Arriving on Day 12 of the seventh series of the Channel 4 show back in 2006, the London-born beauty managed to chaos in the iconic house – famously uttering the line “You better know yourself if you’re talking about me, little girl!” during a row with the late Nikki Grahame.

The feisty housemate made it all the way to the final on Day 93 – finishing up in third place with 22% of the public vote, with Pete Bennett crowned champion.

The TV personality, who famously clashed with housemates during her time in the house, insists that today’s version of the show lacks the raw authenticity that made Big Brother such a cultural phenomenon in its heyday.

“The casting has been good recently, but you just can’t top my year”, Aisleyne admits, “And that’s not the narcissist in me speaking – it’s facts! I haven’t even watched my whole series back, but… it was just real. It felt raw. People actually went on journeys. Reality TV now? It feels scripted”.

The former finalist – who was crowned the nation’s favourite female housemate of her year – says reality TV has changed beyond recognition. “It’s forgettable, now. It’s not what it used to be. People are too PC, too scared to have proper arguments, but people love watching a bit of drama! It’s all filtered now.”

Aisleyne also took a swipe at the recent Big Brother winner, confessing that she couldn’t even name them. “I was on TikTok Live the other day, and someone asked me who won Big Brother last year. They kept saying a name, and I was like”, I don’t know who that is. “

Despite her criticism, Aisleyne still has love for the show that made her famous.

I love them”. Another wrote: “These trousers are soooo comfy, highly recommend and they wash well, no ironing – winner”!.

A fourth shopper commented: “They fit perfectly. They are a cropped leg which I quite like, plisse is great and won’t crease which will be ideal to take on holiday, these could be dressed up or down, quality is very good, overall I’m pleased with these trousers”.

However, one disgruntled shopper pointed out an issue, stating: “Lovely trousers but not for me. I ordered short size 12 in these trousers as I’m only 5’3” tall. They are gorgeous casual trousers but way too short for me. “

Love Island star Amy Hart became a mother for the first time in 2023, and shared the ins and outs of parenthood, marrying Sam Rason, and the reason they’re so excited for baby number two

Amy Hart has opened up about the highs and lows of parenting after welcoming her first baby on March 2, 2023. The Love Island star shares son Stanley with husband Sam Rason, and she made it clear the little boy has already given them plenty to be proud of.

Asked about her proudest moment during an exclusive chat with the Mirror, Amy, 31, shared: “I think my proudest is just Stanley’s social skills and the fact that he just loves everyone and he just loves life.”

The ITV star has been open about trying to have a second child in the past, and explained of her excitement: “We always say we can’t wait to have a second child to see whether it actually was anything that we did or whether it was just him. But a lot of people say to us that, you know, the reason he’s so chilled is because of you guys.”

Amy did admit that it’s not all sunshine and rainbows, considering she’s busy as a content creator and podcaster. She said that for her, the most challenging thing about motherhood was “trying to juggle work and him… there’s only a certain number of years before he goes to school and I want to make the most of them, but also I do have to work as well.”

However, the former British Airways stewardess said that she’d figured out the best way to make things work for her career and her family.

“I want to give him real quality time so I try and set aside days that are ‘ no work days ‘ and then sort of just smash out all the work on the days I am working just so that he gets my full attention”, she said.

Amy, who has just launched her Amy Hart’s Mum’s Club podcast explained that she wouldn’t want to spend time with Stanley by “sticking him in front of the telly” while she works in the background, so instead makes sure she gets all of her work done while he’s with her doting family or at his baby group.

Amy and Sam tied the knot in September 2024, opting for a destination wedding with 155 guests in Málaga, Spain, when Stanley was just 18 months old.

Asked how she handled the major getaway, Amy explained that having so many friends and family there helped, with everyone willing to pitch in and look after the little one while she and Sam prepped.

She also had some major advice for how to sit back and enjoy a big event with kids present, sharing that she contacted someone she’d met who worked at a nursery in Spain and asked if she’d like to go to the wedding and be “legally responsible for]Stanley] i. e sober”.

Amy and Sam were in Spain for two weeks before the four-day-long wedding celebrations, and prepped Stanley for the big day by setting up plenty of play dates with him and their childminder, Ellie, before they walked down the aisle.

She added that getting professional help can come in super handy, and while family members might offer to look after the kids: “Everyone wants to do it until the shots come out at 10 o’clock”. Amy gushed: “Having someone there that is legally responsible for your child, that is sober… is amazing”.

After a couple of years as a mum, Amy summarised her main advice for other parents. “I]always] say if you’re lucky enough to have help offered to you, take it. People are offering it because they want to help you”, she urged.

Things almost reached breaking point between Geri and her husband in February 2024, when a female Formula One colleague accused Christian of “inappropriate behaviour” before he was later cleared by an external review

Geri Halliwell has opened up about her private life with husband Christian Horner. The Spice Girls star slammed a major rumour about the couple, a year after his Formula One texting scandal.

Geri, 52, and Red Bull Racing CEO Christian, 51, have been married since 2015 after dating for just over a year. Things almost reached breaking point in February 2024, when a female Formula One colleague accused Christian of “inappropriate behaviour” before he was later cleared by an external review.

Geri stood by her man throughout, and in a new interview with The Times described their lighthearted domestic life in contrast to the drama.

“We’ll find a TV series that we lock into. I’ll try my best not to watch it when he goes away. I waited for him before finishing Severance. We like playing games too”.

She added: “The other day, in the kitchen, we were playing 20 questions – you’ve got to guess what the object is. We’re quite silly”.

Rumours recently emerged that Geri had reintroduced her maiden name into her legal surname, switching from just Horner to Halliwell-Horner, with some fans thinking it could be a sign that the couple was struggling despite appearances.

The singer quickly addressed the change to the outlet, blasting rumours that her marriage was in trouble and explaining that it was just a career move.

“That’s a load of c**p”, Geri said of the suggestion she’d made a legal change. “It’s my writing name. I haven’t legally changed anything – Horner is the name on my passport”.

Geri is focusing on her writing a lot at the moment, after introducing a new children’s series called Rosie Frost. She released the first book, Rosie Frost and The Falcon Queen, in 2023 and the next instalment, Rosie Frost: Ice On Fire, will come out next month.

Due to the new release, Geri is set to leave Christian and the family – their son and her two kids from prior relationships – behind as she heads stateside in April to promote the new novel.

She usually lives between two homes in the UK, but American fans can expect to see Geri in cities including New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Atlanta and Miami over the course of early April.

Christian recently praised Geri for her support during the investigation last year, which saw alleged WhatsApp between him and his accuser leaked to the media and almost caused him to lose his job.

“I just believed in myself and the process and and my focus was to ensure that we kept winning, and we kept kept delivering. I’ve had tremendous support from my family and my wife and at the end of the day, that’s the most important thing”, he said of how he got through the very public scandal.

One Direction star, Liam Payne, was dating American model, Kate Cassidy, for two years before his tragic death in October in Argentina when he fell from his hotel balcony

Liam Payne’s ‘associates’ have accused his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, of “cashing in” on the star, five months after his tragic death. The One Direction heartthrob had been dating the American model, 26, for two years before he died in October when he fell from the third floor of his hotel suite, aged 31.

Kate has paid tribute to Liam in a number of Instagram posts after attending his funeral in November to pay her respects to her boyfriend, who she was due to marry. However, there are suggestions that some of the singer’s acquaintances are not happy with the model’s behaviour since the tragic loss, with some accusing Kate of “cashing in” on the star’s death.

Following reports that Kate had been politely asked to leave the London home she shared with Liam by his parents after pictures of the model with a number of suitcases outside the property were published after he died, one associate of the singer’s told Daily Mail: “It feels like she is cashing in, it’s very sad to watch. She was a fan and now she seems to raise his name whenever it suits her.”

Kate’s Instagram page is full of photos of Liam, including shared unseen snaps of the star, which she posted while celebrating her birthday last week. Alongside photos of the pair, she wrote: “Thankful for another year, and reflecting on the beauty of 25 – it’s a chapter that will always be a part of me. Here’s to 26”.

One photo was of the couple at a wedding, another was of them at Disneyland. The week before, Kate had mentioned Liam again as she filmed a TikTok video while looking through her stuff around the time of the star’s death.

Zooming in on a yellow frock and a pair of white stilettos – which she had worn to a wedding with Liam in August, Kate became emotional as she recalled the nuptials, and shared a memory of ‘ dancing the night away ‘ with Liam.

It’s not the first time Kate, who says she “manifested” her childhood crush after meeting Liam at a restaurant in the US where she was working as a waitress, has taken to sharing her private moments with the Wolverhampton-born star.

Just three days after his death, she posted a treasured note from the dad-of-one, talking about their marriage, which read: “Me and Kate to marry within a year/engaged &amp, together forever 444. Liam”.

She added: “I know we’ll be together forever, but not in the way we had planned. You’ll always be with me. I’ve gained a guardian angel”.

However, claiming that Kate is ‘ helping her brand ‘ by continuing to mention Liam, his former associate said: “Nobody has a problem with Kate being upset at Liam dying, but every time she shares a picture or video of him it helps her brand, gets her new followers. All those things help make someone’s profile bigger and bigger.

” You have to wonder whether she is doing it for herself because it certainly isn’t for Liam or his family.

“It’s all starting to feel rather unsavoury”.

The Mirror has contacted Kate for comment on this story.
