Our love for Justin Lee Collins has just gone through the roof now that we’ve heard what he said to Charley when she threw a huge strop on the Big Brother Launch Project (tonight, 10.40pm, Channel 4). When the BB special was filmed last week, Charley got a little worked up after getting a tiny bit of abuse from the audience. She burst into one of her tirades (we’re sure it probably included the words “I’m not being funny, but...”) and threatened to walk off the set. Good news for everyone, no? Unfortunately, though, she changed her mind, came back and started her mouthing off again – and that’s when the normally mild-mannered JLC stepped in and said “Charley, will you just shut the f**k up!” Woo! Go Justin! “It was comedy gold,” says one audience member. “Charley sat back down like a sulky child and refused to speak for the rest of the show.” And we’d imagine the show will be much more enjoyable as a result…
Charley throws a strop. Sigh...
