Rumours going around about Bianca Del Rio entering the Big Brother house in January. I saw publicity pics on Twitter of her posing in front of the Big Brother logo but have no idea if they are real or a hoax.

If true then I think she would be brilliant on there. She has the right amount of sassy and lovable to make the general public love her

Banbha32 · 11-12-2015 09:47AM

That would be just awesome. She is TV Gold!!! Couldnt pick a better queen

Rick_ · 11-12-2015 10:50AM

The pics were real, because she appeared on "Big Brothers Bit On The Side" with Michelle Visage one night.

I couldn't see her going in to the Big Brother house. I know they have scraped the barrel before with people you may never have heard of, but they were still people you *might* have heard of. Apart from gay people, who in the UK would know or care who Roy Haylock / Bianca Del Rio is?

I'd be very surprised if this happened. Very, very surprised. For starters, Bianca is on tour until 9th January and CBB starts on 5th January, so unless she's a late entrant, she won't be going in on opening night.

This is the picture I was talking about. I honestly have no idea if it's true but it would be interesting viewing if it was

Hmmm, I haven't seen that before. It looks like a mock-up, the line-up is usually only nailed down close to transmission time. Plus, Channel 5 wouldn't do up line-up photos yet in case they leak before launch night. In all honesty, I think that's just a mock-up. I've pretty sure I've seen that picture of Bianca in that same pose/outfit before.

Banbha32 · 11-12-2015 06:45PM

Well i do know Bianca is in London in January as i am going to see her on the 14th at G.A.Y (eeeeek

) which is also the month celeb BB starts (filmed at Borehamwood also in London) so she is at the right place at the right time. But i also saw she had other appearances throughout the month and celeb bb is 3 weeks long so i dont know. Unless looking booked out is a cover because the lineup is so hush hush. Only time will tell i guess

Oh god yes!! Can you imagine? Epic television in the making.

Rick_ · 12-12-2015 06:42PM

Well, she's hardly going to be on the show if she has tour dates before and during the time the show will be on air. They may use her in another capacity, dipping in and out for challenges or something, but I don't see her being a full time housemate.

EDIT - She's in Boombox in Belfast on Wednesday 13th January and has quite a few other dates lined up in January including some in America and Canada, so I'd say she's definitely not gonna be a housemate now.

Rick_ · 18-12-2015 01:03AM

Willam has been mentioned by the Daily Mirror as being a possible contestant on BBUK this year, but he was quick to go on Instagram and say he wasn't, but that "we all know which queen is going in". So I take it he has just basically confirmed but not confirmed that Bianca/Roy is going to be a contestant this series?

Ash885 · 20-12-2015 10:55PM

Bianca has been replaced by Manilla in a few gigs so...!

Rick_ · 20-12-2015 11:40PM

Boombox Belfast are still advertising Bianca'a appearance on 13th January and people can buy tickets early. If Bianca has no intention of being there because of BB, they should have rescheduled or cancelled her appearance or not took the booking in the first place as surely BB producers would give a list of dates for potential contestants to keep free.

Oh, and if I went to see Bianca and Manila stood in for a replacement, I'd want a refund!

billion dollar baby · 21-12-2015 02:18AM

The plot thickens. So if we take Willam at her word and a queen is going in but it's not Bianca then who is it?

The theme for this season is supposed to be Vaudeville and there is a queen that comes to mind. Jinkx Monsoon? And her January appears to be wide open with no upcoming gigs.

It's all just speculation at this point and it may end up being nobody but it's a bit of fun trying to work it out. For what it's worth Tellymix have released a list of the most likely entrants for this year including all the usual Z Listers from the likes of TOWIE and Geordie Shore and Bianca is included.

Could it be Ru herself? Or possibly one of the UK queens?

RuPaul would never stoop down to that kind of stuff.

Rick_ · 31-12-2015 03:16PM

Bianca was asked at a Q&A in Manchester last night if she was going to be on Celebrity Big Brother. The crowd went wild, she laughed and said "No comment, my lawyers are here". Make of that what you will. I think a lot of people who bought tickets to her shows over here will be pissed if she cancels last minute to do Big Brother.

On a side note, I have a new YouTube channel and am uploading some drag videos on it. The channel name is "pad e Drag" and here is my latest video - the best of Willam on Season 4. Enjoy (and subscribe if you like too!)

EDIT - video fixed, as old one had errors

The Big Brother lineup is out. No Bianca unfortunately.

billion dollar baby · 03-01-2016 11:41AM

Link has been deleted?

She really did play up to the rumours then didn't she? Oh well. I suppose the people who paid to see her shows won't be disappointed. It would have been a bit shady to allow people to continue purchasing tickets to see you knowing full well you won't be there. I think she will still have something to do with the show maybe as a task or on the spinoff show?

pl4ichjgy17zwd · 03-01-2016 05:27PM

Here's another article listing them since the one above doesn't seem to work: http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/celebrity-big-brother-2016-line-7111346

Some interesting names in there, even with no Bianca. I often only know one or two but I know a few of these guys.

David Gest

in particular should be great TV

Rick_ · 03-01-2016 08:54PM

The line-ups always change and people can drop out on launch night, like they did last year. Plus, even if there is no Bianca for the launch, she could be involved in some way as a drop in guest or a late add on.

Anyway, once rumoured Willam has a very empty January and February schedule according to his website. Wonder if he may pop up somewhere too?

eviltwin · 03-01-2016 09:06PM

People sometimes go in late too like Katie Price a few years ago

billion dollar baby · 05-01-2016 04:28PM

Lineup officially confirmed now and no queens at all in the mix

Rick_ · 06-01-2016 12:15AM

None for the launch. Their names wouldn't have been thrown out randomly unless there was something to it. I think that either the BOTS programme or the main show may have a queen as a guest, but not as a housemate.

Ash885 · 07-01-2016 07:07PM

I hoped that someone like Willam will go in. Purely because he'd do well making a name, would suit the format of the show very well. If Bianca did go in, it would be like a Jade Goody kind of swing; arguably more successful than the contestants there and with a lot more to lose going in, not 'much' to gain. I mean if you pay upwards to £60 for her Roladex of Hate show, the girl doesn't need anymore mileage on her career at the moment.

On a side note, I was at Lady Bunny and Milk on New Year's, Bunny is a class act, as was Mlik. Thoroughly impressed!

J_E · 09-01-2016 02:57PM

That Celebrity Big Brother list... Can you smell the desperation? Former this, 'best friend' of actually successful person, etc...

billion dollar baby · 15-01-2016 06:58PM

The Season 8 cast will officially be ruvealed on February 1st.

If you are on Reddit they have pretty much found out for themselves

Rick_ · 18-01-2016 01:15PM

Reddit isn't always 100% accurate though, despite its high level of Nancy Drew's.

I'd rather wait until the RuVeal to find out exactly who is in and then watch the Meet The Queens videos.

I think I also read on Reddit that the show doesn't actually start until March this year so still about a month and a half to two months wait. Hopefully All Stars 2 is broadcast later this year as well so we get double drag race fun.

If anyone hasn't seen Season 7 yet or wants to re-watch, it starts on TruTV (Sky 198) next Monday, the 25th January at 10pm and Untucked is back - straight after the main show.

If they show it every Monday & Tuesday night between now and March they should be finished it in time to show Season 8 a few days / weeks behind the US and not a year!

billion dollar baby · 18-01-2016 02:36PM

Honestly I'm not loving TruTv at the moment. They completely cut Drag Race to bits to make room for the adverts so the editing was all over the place especially the lipsynch/eliminated queen parts. And did they even bother with Untucked for Season 6?

Hunchback · 23-01-2016 01:36AM

Got me two tickets for Battle of the Seasons in the Olympia.

I assume everybody in this thread who would be interested is aware that this is happening?

Katya, Sharon Noodles, Willam, Pandorra, Violet Chacki, Jinkx, Courtney.

I would pretty much be delighted with all of those except Violet who I think totally lacks any likeability. I could take or leave Courtney Act as well. If we swapped those two for Alaska and Ben de La Creme that would be my ideal lineup!

Still, happy days - I think the Olympia is going to be rocking for this - I wonder will it sell out?

Tickets just went on sale yesterday, Friday, just in case there is anybody here who would be interested in going to this but did not hear about it for whatever reason
