Big Brother housemates try stand-up
The Big Brother housemates have been performing a stand-up comedy show.Celebrity hijacker Roseanne Barr ordered all the contestants to perform a routine with just two hours’ preparation.
And she warned: ‘I'll heckle you if you suck.’
The housemates paired off for their challenge – and most of them took the opportunity to slate their fellow housemates.
John was first up, with a routine about the house, which he called ‘12 animals stuck in a glorified cage…. with myself - John the ginger mole.’
Camp Jay said: ‘Amy and her random cleaning of squares - what the f*** is that all about!’
And at the end of the challenge, MC Jeremy introduced final act Jay., saying: ‘Don't get down everyone - it can't get any worse
But Roseanne was true to her threat and yelled: ‘Get to the jokes!’ to several of the housemates. She also told Amy: ‘You're kind of sucking - crack out a joke, quick.’
After it was over, Roseanne said: ‘Well done everyone… [But] none of you should quit your day jobs.’
Roseanne previously said of her celebrity hijacker role on the E4 show: ‘I love it that I get to press a button and yell at you. I need one of these in my house.’
