Ok ok ok! I know! I'm sad! But I thought I'd flick on to see Frankie go in. They showed a clip of him riding a normal horse in a normal saddle and I'm sorry - I really laughed!!! Could they not have showed footage of him on the gallops or racing?!? He really can't ride a normal horse! Well no, he can't ride leg long instead of having his irons attached to the stirrup bars! Lol! He was drastic!

I still have every respect for him because you put him in a tiny saddle, whack the irons up, give him half a tonne of fiesty firey tb and he is quite simply magic! I really wish I hadn't watched that clip of him in the school now!

Plus channel 5 got it a bit wrong - they said that he has had many hurdles to overcome this year - would have been a bad pun if he was a jumps jockey but alas no! The one and only time Dettori rode in a Flat vs Jumps jockey hurdle race he pulled up after the 2nd hurdle because he was perified lol!

I may tune back in from time to time to see how he gets on but there's one thing for sure - the house will always have a damned well cooked dinner if they let him loose in the kitchen!
 
Haha I am a self confessed big brother watcher and am also excited to see a bit of Dettori... Yes and I do also like Rylan a bit too much *hangs head*
 
Oh dear - his career must really be in trouble for going on a show like that.....!

I don't think it's career that's in trouble - he will always be wanted and he will always earn plenty. It may well be the home life that has gone a bit awol since his drugs trial in France...
 
Think this is going to be first BB I have watched for a very very long time... Already like Rylan and I didn't watch the X factor. Blooming tough to be split up like that though!
 
I haven't watched BB for years but as we have racehorses and my OH knows Frankie (and yes there been strong rumours within the racing industry for years re his supposed use of non prescription 'medication') plus the Rylan factor, I think I might have to make an exception and have a wee look at BB this year.
Should be interesting.
 
I suppose it's one way of making money while he's suspended but surely there's a better way. I looked on computer at who was going into the house & to be honest I realise that I must be old because I only knew Frankie & one or possibly two others.

I won't be watching it, I really think it's run it's day & should be shelved & maily it's either 'Has beens' or 'Never was' people who go in to earn a crust. It's a little sad really. :(
