Big Brother favourite in threat to quit

Hardman Vinnie Jones has hinted he could quit Celebrity Big Brother after appearing to show the strain within hours.

The footballer-turned-Hollywood-star hinted he could walk out less than two days after entering the reality TV house at the weekend.

Jones is thought to be the highest paid celebrity on this year’s final Channel 4 show – receiving 350,000 to take part – and bookies have made him favourite to win.

But the former Wimbledon FC star’s talk of wanting to leave began when he was asked what present he would like for his 45th birthday, which he celebrated in the house.

“I don’t fancy doing three weeks. I keep eyeing up those walls to see how high they are,” he said.

Later Jones branded some housemates “tabloid celebrities”, saying: “I don’t really know any of them ... and some are trying a bit hard in here.”
