BB9 Luke: 'Allstars show is bad idea'

Big Brother 9 star Luke Marsden has argued that an 'Allstars' version of the reality show wouldn't work.

He claimed that inviting past housemates back for one final series would not be interesting because they would already "know how to play the game".

"There's been loads of rumours about it for some while now, this idea of an Allstars Big Brother," he told DS. "But personally, I don't think it would work that well over a full series, as the old housemates know how to play the game.

"Maybe instead of a Celebrity Big Brother next year, they should do three weeks with former housemates. Most of the old housemates are so desperate they won't need paying very much."

When asked if he would return for such a show, he said: "I suppose I've just described myself as 'desperate' if I did accept, but I probably would do it!

"Just for the chance to go in with all the old housemates. The possibility of me being in there with Nikki Grahame - well, I think I'd pay to watch that!"

Marsden also confirmed that he is still romancing fellow Big Brother 9 housemate Rebecca Shiner, which he described as "two fingers" to cynical viewers who doubted the credibility of their romance.

"A lot of people, and I mean a lot of people, have come up to me and said 'You two only got together for the magazine deals'. Well you know what? We've been there, done the magazine deals, and we're still together," he said.

"It will be a year in August. Some people didn't think we'd last ten minutes, let alone a year."
