Big Brother Celebrity Hijack - John McCririck reflects on his day as Hijacker

11 January 2008 - John McCririck gives his insight into being Big Brother Celebrity Hijacker.

Horseracing pundit John McCririck certainly stirred things up in the Big Brother house.
He reflected on his time as Hijacker in the insiders blog on the official Big Brother website.

He said, "My time as Big Brother was amazing!"

"I've never controlled people in my life. I was giving them orders and they were doing what I told them. It was riveting and an extraordinary insight into people."
"The tic-tac task was just a bit of fun and froth. But when you show someone, as I showed Jade, the video of what Victor has been saying. That really upset her and it was the way he then had to manipulate and get back into her affections and he really was genuinely contrite."

"That is really what I think Big Brother is about. Not hard tasks and athletic prowess etc. It's a mental thing and that was what the challenge was; how Victor would react and how Jade would react to a really unpleasant circumstance."

"If you or anyone around us could see what people really thought about us it would be very hard to forgive. I think Victor was absolutely outstanding in the way he did everything right."

John's favourite housemate was fashion designer Jay,
"I would say Jay is my favourite housemate. He's an extraordinary character at his age. He's well known round the world. It did surprise me when he said he likes ties earlier. I can't believe a young man likes ties. They are ghastly things and totally useless!"

John would love to be Hijacker again. He told the insiders blog,
"If I could be Big Brother again I wouldn't hesitate. But then I'm the only person that's been in the house, done Big Mouth and now been a hijacker! Right, I am off home now! I expect Boobie will be waiting for me at home with a nice fillet steak, surf and turf. Some lobster would go down well. And I think a bottle of champagne. I mean, after what I've been through at least I deserve steak, lobster and champagne. That's not asking too much is it?"
