Gary Goldsmith signed up for ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ to talk about…the Sussexes

Imagine your sister’s business just collapsed into bankruptcy, but not before she defrauded people out of millions of dollars. Imagine your niece is the future queen consort of the United Kingdom, and not only that, your niece is going through some kind of major health crisis which has seen her hospitalized in secrecy for weeks and there’s a projected months-long recovery process. If that’s what your family was going through, wouldn’t you do everything you could to simply ensure that your sister and niece are doing okay, and wouldn’t you try to avoid courting public controversy for a while? Well, Gary Goldsmith doesn’t care. He’s making too much money as an anti-Sussex troll-for-hire. Gary has put his name on some of the most excruciatingly nasty anti-Sussex essays for the Mail, and he’s built a very sad little career for himself as someone perfectly willing to say and do tacky things for paltry paychecks. Well, now Dodgy Uncle Gary has signed on to Celebrity Big Brother, and he’s promised to “tell all” about… the Sussexes.

The Princess of Wales’ uncle Gary Goldsmith has signed up to take part in Celebrity Big Brother. Insiders said the controversial businessman had negotiated a hefty contract with the ITV show’s bosses. Gary — brother of Kate’s mum Carole — had been locked in talks with them but signed his deal today.

A source said: “Gary is champing at the bit to get on Celebrity Big Brother. He finalised the terms of his deal today and can’t wait to enter the house.”

Gary, 58, auditioned for I’m A Celebrity last year but was rejected at the final stage over fears it could embarrass Kate and William. Insiders said Gary, who attended Kate’s marriage to Wills in 2011, is CBB’s most controversial signing.

The source added: “The CBB team love him because of his link to Kate and the fact that he’s confident and loud and won’t hold back. He’s made it clear he will talk about everything and anything, and he’s pretty outspoken when it comes to Harry and Meghan. Gary also holds a deep affection for Kate and Wills and will be able to give a fascinating insight into what it’s really like being related to the future King and Queen. He could be TV gold and ITV knows it. The deal he signed is for good money.”

[From The Sun]

I can’t wait to hear what Gary says about his niece’s racism, or Carole’s fraud or the James’s many failed businesses. I guess all of those topics are off-limits though – he will obviously be given talking points about the Sussexes and all of this is just some kind of royalist theater. What’s worse is that the royalists don’t even want any part of it. They know Gary is a loose canon and he could accidentally say the wrong thing and the whole precarious house of cards could start to fall:

Royal experts have now criticised the decision to welcome him into the Celebrity Big Brother house – calling the move ’embarrassing’ and possibly ‘dangerous’ to the Royal Family during a testing period. Angela Levin told The Sun: ‘I think it’s cringe-making, very embarrassing, the trouble is he doesn’t like Harry and Meghan at all, some of this comments will fall onto Catherine and she’s had a lot against her, she’s not well, she’s in hospital. I think when you come out of an operation you’re quite vulnerable and this could upset her enormously. In principle people who don’t like her could say she encouraged him to do it, but she would have done nothing of the kind. It’s very embarrassing. It’s very hard being a Royal, and I don’t know if this is a good idea.’

Royal biographer Richard Fitzwilliams agreed that the news would be the ‘last thing’ Kate needs while she is in hospital and noted that he doesn’t think the Middleton’s will be ‘particularly delighted’. Mr Fitzwilliams believes Mr Goldsmith would not be popular on the show, and adds that he will probably be a ‘big yawn’.

‘I think he will try really hard to make comments about the Sussexes, because I don’t think most people know who he is and most people are that interested,’ he said.

[From The Daily Mail]

You mean they’re acknowledging that it looks really bad that Kate’s uncle can’t STFU about the Sussexes? They’re acknowledging that Gary’s messiness and lies reflect poorly on KATE? Well, I never. You know what also looks bad? Gary has always been “the rich one” – he reportedly made a fortune over twenty years ago and he’s been living a semi-retired life in Mallorca and England ever since. But all of Gary’s moves scream “broke ass.” I mean, repeatedly auditioning for Celebrity Big Brother? How broke is he?

    • Startup says:

      My tinfoil tiara conspiracy theory is that this is a warning shot from the Middletons to the RF. Last year it would be embarrassing for the RF if he did this, but now it doesn’t matter? Who stopped caring about whether or not he would be embarrassing?

      The article I read said that he wouldn’t hold back, but then qualified it as about H&M. I think that phrasing was deliberate. He’ll tell all…. about H&M, of course.

      There are some nasty negotiations going on and both sides are playing dirty.

      • Jae says:

        If you “live by the sword”, “you die by the sword” 😏 Let the games begin.

      • Emme says:

        But exactly WHAT does this non-entity know about the Sussexes? Oh, that’s right, utterly NOTHING!
        So anything he says about them can only be a parroting of what his niece and baldy have said about them.

      • Christine says:

        Yep, the only way he could know anything about them is through Kitty. This is going to be delightful, and will blow back on everyone except for Harry and Meghan.

        Uncle Hookers & Blow is going on a reality show where the entire purpose is for them to be over-served while the production team waits with bated breath for truly vile things to spring forth from their mouths, all while cameras roll 24/7.

        Hahahahahahahaaaaa! This could not happen to more terrible people.

      • 1960tlm says:

        The Royal Family, Royal Rota, as well as, Meghan’s dad & half siblings know Nothing! So how is this Jack A$$ supposed to know anything about the Sussex’s. The UK asked Harry & Meghan to leave…they left! Why can’t they go more than 2 days without attacking this couple?Something is definitely wrong here. Isn’t there an illegal alien issue, a homeless problem, an economy crisis, sewage in UK waters, astronomical heating prices, elementary school children unable to get free lunches at school, food & warm banks needing funding,
        Ireland & Scotland wanting to becoming a republic, plus the King & the future Queen Consort are both now ill, but all they can ever discuss is Harry & Meghan? What is wrong with these people? They are never going to leave them alone! 50 years from now Harry & Meghan could be in their 90’s, but the UK would still be discussing why they named Lili after the Queen, or something as equally stupid. These people (not all the UK!) just the ones profiting off of the Sussex’s are doing such a disservice to their country! Instead of focusing on what’s important they use Harry & Meghan as an extremely profitable distraction. They should all be ashamed! Hope Uncle Coke and Hookers sees the inside of a jail cell soon, and big brother goes bankrupt too!

      • Honeybee says:

        It is true. Gray is a warning from middlebums. Very especially from carol. But not for H&M. It is for peg. According to some people i know, kate is not in the London clinic. Peg is planning for divorce. But everything will come to light when he finds the right candidate. Carol is unable to control the situation. That is why mum and daughter palyed hospital drama to intimidate. But willy and KP turned it into surgery story and using it to ban kate from royal rota. Even the BP is refusing to help carol. That is why they are pushing the duke of drugs in to this shit.
        But if willy finds a women to fit, then BP will publish all the nasty and racist story about kate and carol. Some people in pegs circle know about the divorce. But it will happen if peg finds a girl.

  2. UnstrungPearl says:

    Gary must be desperate to do this, bc seriously the RF will be fuming. And the Middletons – have they been cut off completely now?
    No one benefits from this apart from Gary. If he starts complaining about Harry and Meghan it could seriously backfire, the public aren’t as against them as the tabloids seem to think.
    I suspect the Palace will order him to STFU and he’ll end up being voted off early.

    • The Old Chick says:

      It’s pretty well established both anecdotally and by Omid in his book that Britons in general (not all) dislike the Sussexes. That’s because 100% of the British media is anti Sussex and write lies every day about them. I’m sure hooker and blow could tow the palace line and bs his way through whatever this trash show is. He’s been green lit.

      • Lili says:

        That is not the feeling I get, and when you look at how well their projects do over here in the Uk I don’t think the media has it right , I think the media’s actions have turned them into bigger Icons than they would have been if they had been left alone

      • swaz says:

        Right now it’s beyond not liking the Sussexes 😳 Harry and Meghan have become their meal ticket 😳 it is completely financial.

      • Vik says:

        I have recently noticed that comments in the fail can be pro-Sussex or at least neutral (“time to leave them alone” or “the hounding is too much (no wonder they left)”). I wonder what that is about. Has the fail previously censored such comments, is the tide turning? And if so, why?
        Also hilarious to brand the Sussexes as “sell outs” and “traitors” (for their docu and book) when uncle Fester literally takes part in a tacky reality show. Ya couldn’t make it up.

      • CaptainCrunch says:

        I don’t believe that. They seem to do well in the UK apart from a hand full of royals nutters. The daily mail comment and fake surveys only account from a small fraction of people in the UK. I honestly don’t think the majority of people in UK care about them one way or the other. The tabs will always push the narrative of them being disliked because naïve and simple minded people believe it. It’s a fake narrative.

      • Proud Mary says:

        I’m sorry, the old chick, it’s unfortunate that you’re falling British tabloid propaganda, when the British media itself is losing readership. If what you say is true, then Harry’s book would not have been the best selling book in the UK last year The tabloid all said the Brits were not going to buy the book because of what you are saying right now, remember?

      • bisynaptic says:

        I didn’t get that about the Sussexes from reading his book.

      • The Old Chick says:

        Proud Mary, you clearly can’t read. Try again. You people are something else.

      • Anonymous says:

        Vik

        The pro Sussex comments were ABSOLUTELY censored before at the Mail and various other tabloids, and certainly still are, to an extent. But the fact that they’re having to let some pro Sussex comments slide in seems to suggest that their readers aren’t mindlessly accepting all their defamatory stories anymore

    • StillDouchesOfCambridge says:

      He’s probably looking for a payout either from the show or from the royal family to stfu.

  3. SAS says:

    Ahahahaha! Fantastic. Nothing makes the unfamiliar public feel sympathy for the Sussexes more than when these unhinged royalists get airtime to the wider public and not just the deranged DM subscribers who are already familiar with all their crazy storylines.

    Plus, there’s no way he’s not going to be telling totally crude non-Royal related stories which will further reflect poorly on the entire trashy freak show. Go for it Gaz, you have tough competition for the Creepy Uncle crown but i have complete faith in your high-level dodginess!

    • Christine says:

      Cosign, this is going to be good. The only people Uncle Gary spends any time with who have first hand dealings with the Sussexes are the Wails. I doubt Carole or Mike ever met Meghan, much less the siblings.

      • BQM says:

        Meghan was at pippa’s wedding reception and the entire family, along with significant others were at the Sussex wedding.

  4. Cathy says:

    Is this the Middleton way of saying to the British royals that “you can’t control us”?

    I’m expecting Uncle Gaz to suddenly withdraw from the programme and magically Ma Middleton’s Party Pieces debts will be paid? Plus a “little” something for them to live on of course.

    • ML says:

      Cathy, This is what I think, too. Both can be true: Uncle Gary is broke AND it’s odd that the Middletons suddenly don’t seem to care about decorum. Carole wasn’t a fan of Meghan being on TV, for instance, as an actress. I cannot imagine that a majority of the public would consider this any thing other than tacky at the very least when his niece is in the hospital. So, yes, this screams cash grab and blackmail (pay me not to show up). I can’t believe that Angela Levin actually criticized this move—that’s how bad this looks.

      • Brassy Rebel says:

        He wasn’t acceptable last year because they were afraid it would embarrass Will and Kate? Apparently, this year they’re beyond embarrassment. Yeah, this is some kind of shakedown operation. If we hear he’s off the show, we’ll know it worked.

      • Christine says:

        The funniest part, to me, is there is less British media outrage over this than Harry and Meghan going to a movie premiere, which apparently was to subvert democracy.

        “…and I don’t know if this is a good idea.”

        You don’t know? You are absolutely positive every single thing Meghan does is to undermine the monarchy, but the uncle of the future queen going on a reality show doesn’t get you worked up? For the one millionth time, you all need to get some fucking perspective.

    • Jay says:

      It would actually be pretty funny if he does this every year to squeeze some money out of the RF. Last year he “dropped out” because he was worried about “embarrassing” the royals. BS.

  5. WaterDragon says:

    If he is so freaking wealthy, one would think he would have the common decency to pay off the debts Carole owes to small business owners. At least if he actually cares about his family at all.

    • Harla A Brazen Hussy says:

      I have doubts that Gary is as wealthy as reported. I understand that he sold some tech for quite a bit of money but I also think that he’s a spender, coke isn’t cheap, doesn’t have that much left which is the reason why he hasn’t helped Carole clear her debt.

      • Kittenmom says:

        Coke isn’t cheap 😼 I love it.

      • Vik says:

        I also have my doubts, but that raises the question even more where the Middleton’s money came from. Marlborough was trust fund and scholarships. But after that. The flat in London bought in cash and enabling Kate to not work and partake in upper class activities. That cost a lot of money.
        A leading theory was always Gary supported this. Can it be? Has that money as well dried up by now?

      • Jaded says:

        His lavish lifestyle certainly ate up a lot of his cash plus he has four ex-wives who got a chunk of change in the divorce settlements. The Middleton money pipe has been shut down for sure, and this CBB gig will taint the Midds by association even more. He’s the poster boy for crass buffoonery.

    • The Old Chick says:

      Apparently brexit hit him hard..

  6. Harla A Brazen Hussy says:

    The question will be, if Uncle Gary starts telling stories about the Sussex’s, from whom did he hear these stories? His niece? Her husband? His sister? Where exactly did he get these stories from???

    • Jaded says:

      His fervid, coke-addled imagination.

    • Laura D says:

      Exactly @Harla A Brazen Hussy. All it will take is for just one celeb to ask him when he met Harry and/or Meghan and the fingers will then start pointing back at Kate and Ma Middleton. If anything Gary’s appearance on CBB plays right into William’s hands because if he starts slating H&M William can blame ALL the bad blood between him and Harry onto Kate and her family.

  7. Becks1 says:

    If you’re signing up for something with the intention of bashing the Sussexes, and Angela freaking Levin thinks that’s a bad idea, maybe, just maybe, you might want to rethink that “something.” The woman will bash the Sussexes 24/7 so if this is too far for even her……..

    And yeah they must all be broke as hell.

    • Nic919 says:

      This may not play out the way they want. If Kate is being phased out then blaming her for uncle Gary going on a reality show to trash the Sussexes may be used against her and make things easier for William to get a separation.

      The further we move away from spare being published, the more the things Harry said become accepted facts and with the Sussexes not actually being in the UK, the average person will just find uncle Gary crass.

      It’s also quite possible that another CBB contestant challenges him on his bs. And how good would that look if they made the direct connection to asking why Kate wasn’t nicer to her sister in law.

  8. equality says:

    So he is going to talk about people he doesn’t know or he’s going to have to resort to talking about people he does know? Is the show censored at all for liability purposes or do they allow any tool to say anything without proof?

    • The Old Chick says:

      Yes. He’ll regurgitate the ‘correct’ tabloid /palace stories /tropes as though they’re real and not fan fic. Even though he knows neither of them. Meaning it’s all coming from kp. I’m waiting for the law suit.

    • Jais says:

      Exactly @equality. He’s talking about the Sussexes but has he ever even met Meghan??? So basically anything he says about her is essentially just a proxy for what Kate and Carole have said about Meghan. This is not gonna go well.

      • BeanieBean says:

        It might be interesting if he gets any pushback from one or more of the other ‘celebrities’ (HOW does he qualify as such??)–how do you know this or that’s not what happened or, best yet, that’s racist micro aggressions.

  9. KeKe Swan says:

    Is this the dodgy cokehead that Prince William allegedly cut ties with in (checks notes) 2009!!! This messy and embarrassing dude was hardly in anybody’s inner circle so I don’t know what interest there could possibly be in the moldy four-year-old tea he has to spill. 😜

  10. Tessa says:

    Uncle Gary has told embarrassing stories about William at that infamous lunch he had with William and Kate. William might be the one to put a stop to it. The media don’t bring up the fact that Gary assaulted his wife and got arrested. Among other things.

    • QuiteContrary says:

      This might be an attempt to extort money from William — who, even if he’s done with Kate, won’t want to be caught in the fallout of revelations from Uncle Hookers and Blow.

  11. Jan says:

    Drug dealing is not what it use to be, a suppose millionaire going on a reality show.
    No wonder the Middletons could not pay the £3 million it owes to the Vendors.
    And they are trying to say the Sussexes should be afraid, not sure why he don’t know them.
    Wonder if he is going to talk about mental health, bully and Bulimia.

  12. Amy Bee says:

    I can’t wait for all of this to fall on Kate.

  13. Pebbles says:

    Oh so now we can call him Kate Middleton’s mouthpiece right? Anyone with a past fleeting association with a royal who has something to say is a mouthpiece.

    I’ve learned well. 🤭

    Part of me thinks the only reason this is being allowed is because Willy is through with Kate. It just hasn’t been made public yet. I can’t see how the palace would allow this without deep pressure unless they have washed their hands of any potential fallout to Kate.

    • BeanieBean says:

      Ah, could be, she was still in the fold for that other show he dropped out of but now they’re easing her out, so Gary can be unleashed.

  14. Lau says:

    I hate to agree with Levin but this is indeed very embarrassing. What is he even going to talk about ? He’ll probably give us the “Megan made Kate cry” story again ugh.

    • Jay says:

      Angela Levin, voice of reason! That’s a new role for her, but she is correct. Gary doesn’t know the Sussexes, I don’t think he actually knows any of Kate’s in-laws socially – so any tea he has can only have come from one person. Plus, he’s creepy in the way he talks about Kate! I don’t think this will help his brand.

  15. Kittenmom says:

    This is going to be awesome. Can’t wait for Gary’s verbal diarrhea fest to begin. Ma Midds will not be able to go out in public again without a paper bag over her head.

  16. Monica says:

    Is this the Gary Goldsmith who pisses in public, deals hard drugs, beats his wife up and pimps out Brazilian escorts? That Gary Goldsmith?

    • Unblinkered says:

      The one and very same. Who also didn’t have enough readies last year to bail out his sister’s £2.5m debts, despite her two wealthy sons-in-law not helping her either. Maybe now we’ll shortly hear why – he’s bound to be asked.
      That Gary G.

  17. Roo says:

    Oh my goodness, I’m sure BP and KP are beside themselves with anger. He’s going to embarrass the RF, not the Sussex family, and he’s going to remind everyone that the King and Kate made racist comments. LOL. The gods of amusement have truly blessed us all!

  18. Over it says:

    Two broke ass siblings hanging on my the skin of their teeth. If uncle coke bottle makes it through the front door of that show I will be shocked. No way Camilla and chuck will let this clown put a stain on them. Camila calls the media shots and she’s not about to let the Middletons mess it up for her.

  19. Feebee says:

    This is definitely Gary doing this for Gary. It’s not going to be good for Kate. The papers are already hinting that maybe it’s bad the Sussexes were exiled and aren’t coming back m. Whether they get to the abuse is another thing but Gary spewing shit inside the BB House won’t be convenient. He only knows what he’s been told and that will be telling in more ways than one.

  20. Bklne says:

    Dear Creepy Uncle,

    Just a quick reminder that the FBI is still waiting to speak with the Other Creepy Uncle. Would love it if you could pass along the message –

    Sincerely,
    Literally Everyone

  21. Mary Pester says:

    Oh how I love the fact that the leviathan has pointed a finger at Kate without even realising the stage she has set, “of course people will say Gary is saying this is what Kate thinks” or words to that effect. Yes we will because it’s true. I wonder how many times Kate has dropped poison in his ear, thinking it will never come back to bite her on her arse.
    I hope he gets absolutely pssd on the free booze and I hope he let’s slip some Real humdingers about the middletons and keens marriage but I also hope Harry has a solicitor watching this scum

    • Advisor2u says:

      Uncle Gary ran out of his bakingsoda millions. That’s why he could’nt ‘help’ sis Carole to prevent bankruptcy. He never was a ‘succesful’ businessman. That was a smoke curtain. He could hardly submit proper Annual Statements to Company House.

    • Jais says:

      That’s just the thing @mary pester. They’re bragging about how’s he going to talk about the Sussexes but he only knows what Kate or her mom has told him. I can just see him saying some racist ish.

  22. Just Jade says:

    Breaking New: it’s 10 o’clock does uncle Gary know where Kate is? That grifter needs to go scratch.

  23. Bettyrose says:

    Meanwhile, Pippa’s living a quiet, scandal free luxurious life.

    • Whyforthelove says:

      Pippa got any brains dished out in that family for sure.

      • FlamingHotCheetos2021 says:

        Sadly, God was experimenting with both Nouvelle Cuisine AND Minimalism that week and took things a bit too far.

  24. kelleybelle says:

    If this has to be “okayed” by William, that’s fn rock-bottom. Is this the new version of Sr. Markle? Jesus Christ these people are the lowest form of life under all the scum.

  25. Mslove says:

    This is what happens when the ffk marries a commoner. Everyone talks about the Sussexes doing harm to the monarchy, but I think Pegs has done the most damage and he’s not even king yet.

    • Interested Gawker says:

      Yep. This right here…
      👏👏👏

    • AMTC says:

      Agree with your second comment @mslove but I think we shouldn’t buy into classifying people as lesser because they are a ‘commoner’ and that’s why they behave badly. I know this is a gossip blog but the whole absurd notion that people’s merit is based on some hierarchical birthright is why we are stuck with the royal family.

  26. Gary says:

    I think this is less a sign that Will/Kate/Middletons have okayed this, and more a sign that post-Elizabeth, the BRF has less power to control the fringe players. Kate’s desire to appear to the manor born is not compatible with Uncle Gary.

    • Proud Mary says:

      Two things can be true at the same time. Elizabeth’s protracted tenure on the throne had the advantage of giving the Brits a very popular monarch who offered stability for a long time. Conversely, the length of her reign makes it really difficult to fill her shoes. We are now seeing that neither Chuck nor his heir is up to the task. The recent very unhinged headlines by the palaces’ media partners in response to the Sussexes’ innocuous appearance at the One Love premiere, include that crazy The Hill article, tells me the Monarchy is desperate and afraid. Hence, I would not be surprise that they really do believe that the Sussexes are winning, and that this is the greatest threat to the monarch’s survival. At this point, they seem to be at the throw-anything-at-the-wall-stage, even sending dirtbag Gary on a reality tv show. Yep, they are that small without Betty.

  27. Digital Unicorn says:

    LOLz all day – he is Catty’s Bad Dad and am sure will leak sh!t about the Wails in a drunk effort to make them look good.

    This tells me 2 things:

    1) He is broke as his sister.
    2) Ma has lost control of him – he’s going rogue to cash in on those royal connections as he knows he won’t get a title and his own wing in BP like he once bragged about.

    Again, still really odd that her family have not been seen / papped going into the hosp to visit her. On every previous occasion she was in hosp (with her pregnancies) we got daily leaks about it – this time, nothing. Which says a lot on its own.

  28. Lady Digby says:

    Even worse Uncle Gaz might use said appearance to garner a book deal , ghosted by whoever writes the Fail tripe for him. And “a little bird told me so” isn’t going to cut it as a legitimate source. He knows where the bodies are buried as regards Carole and co but has NO first hand knowledge of Harry and Meg. Has he even met them?

    • kirk says:

      Kitty’s beloved Uncle Gary was already hard at work on a book according to UK media (tatler, etc.). On 10/31/23, OK reported, “Kate Middleton’s Uncle Will ‘Set the Record Straight’ in His Own Tell-All by Addressing Prince Harry’s ‘Spare’ Accusations.”

  29. Jaded says:

    Let’s see Bulliam try to shut this down. I imagine Uncle Hookers-n-Blow has some thoughts about him and his horrible behaviour towards his favourite niece.

  30. ArtFossil says:

    Remember two weeks ago? At the aviation awards ceremony? Harry was excoriated for posing for a selfie with (checks notes) a prince who’d appeared on Celebrity Big Brother (gasp!) in order to profit from his royal connections.

  31. Jk says:

    He’ll probably yap about abdication again thinking he’s doing Kate a huge favour. He desperately needs Kate to be Queen now so that he can see returns on his investments.

  32. tamsin says:

    According to the internet, Michael Middleton has three brothers who seem to normal professional people. Has there ever been anything in the news abut them? Were they at the wedding? I assume they have wives and children. Uncle Gary has children, but they aren’t in the news either. Only Uncle Gary. You’d think he was the only Uncle Catherine has. The Middleton
    Clan appear to be a successful and respectable family. So we can conclude that Carole married up herself, and had even bigger ambitions for her daughters.

  33. BeanieBean says:

    Two things I noted: it wasn’t until the final interviews that somebody at I’m a Celebrity… thought Gary might reflect poorly on Will & Kate? They didn’t realize that at the jump? And AL admitting, out loud & in print, that some people don’t like Kate? Well, well, well.

  34. Thelma says:

    How low-class and crass! Doesn’t reflect well on Carole and Kate. ..even if they have no control over him. He’s not close to the Sussexes so whatever he says has to come from his family…what a tangled web we weave!

  35. Saucy&Sassy says:

    Well, this looks like a train wreck waiting to happen. H&M have never mentioned him. I doubt they’ve ever met him. He can have opinions, I guess. The only ones he can talk about are the Mids, KHate and Wont. It’ll be interesting to see if ITV just let’s him go full throttle or if they cut out stuff.

    I can’t imagine anyone wanting this to happen. As far as the Sussexes? Markle Sr. isn’t even trotted out anymore because he doesn’t know anything about H&M. Definitely a train wreck waiting to happen.

    • Digital Unicorn says:

      They would have met him at Pippa’s wedding – I think he was there with his daughter.

        I’m sure perfectly mannered Meghan gave him nothing to gossip about at a wedding. It’s going to be amusing to watch this stretch.

    Looks like Buttons’ button proclivity may have genetic origins.
    Also, what a eyesore of a cheap trois-morceau.

    • Lilly (with the double-L) says:

      Lol my comment of the day. Also, thanks for teaching me “trois-morceau.” I admit a cackle reading the piece too, train-wreck predicted. 💅🏽 ☕️ 🍿 Yes, ugly, but revealing I’m sure. Tom and co. must be very envious.

    Will the Baron of la mason de Bang Bang be talking about his own drug dealing and consuming history, which the British press have documented over the years? Will he be talking about where he got the money to fund his nieces’ posh British education? Will he talk about the pot farm that was discovered next to his sister’s property in Buckleberry? Will he talk about his domestic violence record? How about that time when he was photographed taking a piss in public, or the video of him snorting coke? BTW, when was the last time he saw William or Williams children? I hope that, for celebrity big brother’s own sake, they have dotted that I’s and crossed all their T’s legally; because free speech is not a defense to defamation. One thing you can bet about the Sussexes is that they are not afraid to stand up for themselves.

    I truly hope the other contestants are hyperfocused and doing deep dives in Gary, Carole, Kate, and the whole sordid lifestyle and behavior of all of them. I would love it if the other contestants CONSTANTLY ask questions about the shadiness of that family and CONSTANTLY refute the lies he may spew about HM.

    I want him to end up in oblivion from this experience.

    So Gary is a broke azz too huh? Well since Party Pieces was a house of cards, maybe Rich Uncle Gary was a fairytale too.

  40. Trillion says:

    He’s 58? He looks much older. I love that. for him.

  41. AC says:

    Are they now telling that uncle to STFU.
    They’ve seen what’s happening in the defamation lawsuits in the US – I mean if we truly look at it, M is a private American citizen just doing her own business here. Look at Trump and Giuliani, they just can’t shut up and see how enormous $$$ that cost them 🙄.

  42. equality says:

    Wasn’t this what they claimed when Tindall went on a reality show, that he would talk about H&M? Instead he mostly ran his mouth and behaved in a way that embarrassed himself and Zara (assuming they can be embarrassed).

  43. Mek says:

    I would not be surprised if he received a “keep our names outta your mouth” letter from H&M’s lawyers.

  44. bisynaptic says:

    WTF is this word salad?:
    “I think it’s cringe-making, very embarrassing, the trouble is he doesn’t like Harry and Meghan at all, some of this comments will fall onto Catherine and she’s had a lot against her, she’s not well, she’s in hospital.“
    She’s saying that his slandering the Sussexes is going to be hard on KATE?!? Since when?

    And:
    “I think he will try really hard to make comments about the Sussexes, because I don’t think most people know who he is and most people are that interested…”
    Are, or aren’t, and in whom?

    These people kill brain cells.

  45. Anonymous says:

    I heard yesterday that Kate is in a medically induced coma????

  46. Flower says:

    So Gary is effectively doing what the Markles did when they signed up to Big Brother Oz and then didn’t / couldn’t spill anything presumably bc they didn’t know their sister and / or had nothing noteworthy to say. And finally there is the small matter of networks with deep pockets not being bankrupted by litigation and hemorrhaging advertising revenue ?

    The real question is why Gazza needs to do this and the Heil columns all of a sudden – from all accounts he’s a Recruitment Industry stalwart worth millions with holiday homes all over the globe incl ‘Maison de Bang Bang’.

    Me thinks that the speculation on this board about GDPR putting the kibosh on his empire may be true. And that being the case, this may explain the shift in power dynamic between Billy and Kitty, especially as Bill now has the purse-strings.

    The Midd’s are broke from what I can see and this will get gaudier and tackier by the minute which explains the article about H&M being for sale – I wonder who swapped that one out today …..
