Gary Goldsmith was the first ‘celebrity’ evicted from ‘Celebrity Big Brother’

Gary Goldsmith entered the Celebrity Big Brother house last weekend, and he only got to spend five days “in the house.” He was the first “celebrity” evicted, which is just… *chef’s kiss*. Either way it went, it would have been horrible news for the Windsors, the Middletons and the royalists. All they really wanted was to use the Princess of Wales’s uncle to parrot some of their unhinged talking points about the Sussexes. Instead, ITV paid six figures to a broke-ass domestic abuser, all so he could make an ass out of himself, the Middletons and the Windsors. Every second he was on CBB was further evidence that everything about the Middleton-Windsor clan is tacky, cheap, disreputable and low-class.

The Princess of Wales’s uncle has become the first person to be evicted from Celebrity Big Brother. The 58-year-old businessman was voted out by the public after just four nights. Kensington Palace aides were thought to be relieved that his time on the ITV1 show had ended after he used the platform to speak extensively about the Royal family.

After leaving the house, Mr Goldsmith admitted it had taken him a while to acclimatise. He said he felt as though he had been walking around with a target on his back after being nominated for eviction by fellow housemate Sharon Osborne. He also said he had been asked repeatedly about the Royal family because the housemates didn’t know what else to ask him.

Mr Goldsmith, wearing a denim shirt, said in his first exit interview: “This is the first television programme that I have ever done, my comfort zone is back in Slough, it took me a while to acclimatise.” He said he was “self-doubting” when he joined the ITV show, and he should have been “more authentic”. “I could have been way more gregarious,” he said.

Speaking about his many references to the royal family, he said: “People were asking me a lot of questions specifically about that because they didn’t know what to ask me. And I did volunteer it a lot. First time on TV and I cried like a baby, twice,” he said about his experience.

Hilariously, CBB fans apparently think the fix was in because of Gary’s eviction – fans apparently tried to vote to “save” him but he was still evicted because there are new rules or something. I wonder if there’s a conspiracy/theory that the palace managed to get Gary evicted from the CBB house. I feel like that might genuinely be a thing too. Especially since every royal reporter is basically saying that the palace was watching Dodgy Uncle Gary very closely:

Buckingham Palace is keeping a ‘watchful eye’ on Gary Goldsmith during his stint on Celebrity Big Brother, according to a royal expert. While Kate’s ‘bad uncle’ claimed he did not need the Firm’s stamp of approval to appear on the show, it is said the Palace is watching his every move.

Jennie Bond told the Mirror: ‘I think they’ll completely ignore it unless he says something so completely outrageous that they feel they’ve been goaded into responding to a reality show. I hope [William and Kate] aren’t investing their precious time into something that will be deeply upsetting to watch. He thinks being in there he’s a knight in shining armour, but the Palace will be keeping a watchful eye.’

Speaking to MailOnline today, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams suggested the news [of Gary’s eviction] would come as a relief as the Middletons ‘will have pleaded with him not to go on Big Brother’, adding ‘I certainly wouldn’t want to be in his shoes when he and Carole Middleton next meet up! Good riddance to Uncle Gary. He thought he could trade on his royal connections, but the public will not have forgotten his conviction for assault in 2017 despite the hype surrounding his appearance. He had nothing to offer other than mumbled platitudes. These were, however, embarrassing, especially during this stressful period, for the royal family. However, the public sent him to the Tower early as he proved to be an abominable No-Man.’

[From The Daily Mail]

Yeah, I don’t doubt that they were watching him and “monitoring” the situation, but I also wonder if Gary’s whole deal is reciting talking points from some Daily Mail loon. From his ghost-written Mail columns to his CBB appearance, it definitely feels like Gary has been bought and paid for. Similar vibes with Toxic Tom Markle, and if you told me it was all the same project, with the same people behind it, I would believe you.

    How could he have been “more authentic”? Get high on screen? Beat up one of the women? Funny, how the DM didn’t bring up his conviction or seem worried about it until after the public did.

    • Eurydice says:

      And, along those lines, what kind of conversations were the housemates supposed to have with him? What’s it like being a drug dealer and convicted domestic abuser?

    • Lawrenceville says:

      So, in the end, bashing the Sussexes didn’t really endear him to many voters did it? LOL. The miscalculations by all these clowns is just so amusing. This fool thought “get in there, smear and say nasty stuff about Harry and Meg and viola, everyone votes for you to win! LOL, Uhm, nope, didn’t work and planned.
      And they thought this fool would get the Sussexes worried? He had nothing on them. All he had was about windsors

    • BeanieBean says:

      The DM & Middletons & etc. didn’t count on that bit–that the public would protest against having a convicted abuser on a dumb game show. It will be interesting going forward to see if they give this guy the time of day.

  2. Amy Bee says:

    As predicted he was the first go. Gary was a DM plant no doubt.

    • Laurac says:

      One DM journalist said at the outset what a great guy he is and unfortunately for the Royal Family he will be in the house until the very end.
      That didn’t age well

  3. Cherry says:

    That last photo with the tongue will hunt me for years.

  4. Miracles says:

    So no celebrities went home then..

  5. Jais says:

    Well bye. Hopefully he’s done his quota of public talking for the year and we won’t hear from him for a while 🤞

  6. Beverley says:

    Good riddance to bad rubbish!
    The fool fancies himself as sexy and charismatic. Ugh *shudders*

  7. aquarius64 says:

    Glad the buncle is gone but the damage is done. Uncle Gary ended up to be a poor reflection of the Middletons and the Windsors. And because he bragged about his connections to the BRF he is a ripe target for kompromat. MI6 is probably shaking its head now.

  8. ML says:

    He should never have been allowed on that show in the first place—just some of those pictures are exhibit 1 as to why not. However. I could see the conspiracy theorists being right about how he was voted out being shady as well. He deserved the public shaming.

  9. Amy Bee says:

    One thing that Gary being in the house did was confirm that the Middletons are a bunch of try hards who will do anything for people to like and accept them.

  10. Libra says:

    He got the paycheck without having to put in the time. Not bad for a few days of spewing old gossip.

  11. Lady Digby says:

    I loved Louis Walsh putting him on the spot asking him whether he’d even met Meghan, to which question he had to say NO! I’d have asked when he last met Kate and what Carole said about him entering the show. Revealing he had the effrontery to claim which of his fellow cast mates Kate would like to win eg someone black because we are very much not a racist family! Both GG and Bad dad Markles feel as men that they have the right to “know” and therefore speak in stead of their female relative.

  12. Lau says:

    Cut to the Middletons using burner phones to vote him out because they realized what a mess he was making.

  13. WiththeAmerican says:

    GG dropped the Middleton talking points and then was yanked before he could say anything truly damaging about KM.

    He recycled the Harry should call Poor Kate, but Kate won’t speak to her love Harry talking point, plus the usual Meghan bashing.

    It was obvious he was sent there with a Middleton (KP?) approved agenda and he succeeded. He’s a creep and frankly made KM look like a bitter mean girl still raging about Harry leaving her by getting married.

  14. Roseberry says:

    The only thing I got from this embarrassing debacle is that Buncle now lives in Slough a literal stone’s throw from Windsor and a short drive to Buckleberry!
    Interesting on 2 fronts, the urinating photos from a couple of years ago were apparently taken in Wimpole street near his flat,which is in central London and very upmarket. Slough on the other hand is not, it’s one of the most ethnically diverse parts of the UK and has the largest privately owned industrial estate in Europe. It also has a very high crime rate.
    Is Buncle no longer a multi millionaire, is that why he went in CBB, it’s the only thing he has left to trade on, has he moved closer to his sister and niece in order to leach off them???

  15. mary Pester says:

    Everyone I know and also in a lot of the press people were calling this out. The concensus of opinion, was that he was just a plant /weed, put on there to try and up ratings by bashing the Sussexes, but it backfired on him /the middletons and big brother. People have turned off in droves and the middleton name is in the gutter!!!

    • WiththeAmerican says:

      That’s what I’ve been hearing, too. Middleton name is trash, he was a plant.

      All he managed to do was bring up the royal racist accusations again, when Kate was supposedly so sick she couldn’t zoom. What a guy.

    • Nana Adwoah says:

      From the minute he said he would air his opinion “if there’s an announcement ” I knew he would be the first one out. This has KP hands all over it. Damage limitation.

  16. Sunni says:

    Carole told him what to say or he is mad at them. I lean toward Carole told him to go. She wants to walk around again but she refuses to pay the Party Pieces vendors. She looks broke so Gary went out to try and give them some cache. To tell the Goldsmith story. The question is did it work?

    I agree that Gary and Papa Markel was probably paid by the same group at first.
    They wanted Thomas to give a comment last year and he declined. That told me that most of his ranting was a performance.

    I assumed it started like this. He was most likely upset at his daughter and the press came knocking at the same time. He maybe figured since they was taking pictures anyway might as well get a payday. Then it got really bad in real life. Now that everyone knows just how life threatening it became papa markel pulled back. The palace really isn’t helping them.

    I also want to add that Markel got into a fight or something with his new managers. Maybe that’s why his interviews have slowed down.

  17. J.Ferber says:

    Yes. Thank you, God.

  18. Notjust says:

    Oh so people on the show kept asking him about Kate and the Sussexes. Well duh, he is only just the teensiest bit infamous because of his association with the royalists. If it were just the criminal record without the family ties we wouldn’t have ever heard of him. Reminds me of the movie 10 things I hate about you where Fabio says to Joseph Gordon-levitt’s character: “oh so you want to be cool by association.”
    Edited to add that the photos make him look like the most pathetic and self-important man to have ever lived.

  19. Chantale says:

    Bashing the sussexes reached its peak. It is not penetrating to any one that are not already in the echo chamber. People who do not even care about the sussexes see the game clearly. All it is stating doing is turning people off. That is how I see things.

  20. Elon's sink says:

    The only loser here is the ferret on Gary’s head who now has to look for another job.

  21. Chelsea says:

    The day before Gary was evicted Camilla Tominey of ‘a penny for carole’s thoughts’ fame was on tv talking about how Gary could give voice to the royals anger at the sussexes and how it was their right of response and she and a few others also wrote particularly nasty articles this week about how Gary publicly attacking a woman he never met on CBB was a great thing for the nation and might lift Kate’s spirits so no i do not for a second believe that the Middletons or the royals wanted him to get evicted this week. And I looked at the CBB tags on Twitter when he eas evicted and was amazed that it was filled with so many Brits estatic that he was gone.

    These idiots did not understand that no one wants to watch a wife beater sit around spitting vitriol at a woman he admits he never met in between talking constantly about his ‘royal’ connections and how great he think Trump is. I have a feeling that these articles praising Gary will be getting scrubbed at some point.

    Now let’s get Princess Michael of Kent in there!

    Trailer trash.
