Big Brother beckons for bunny girl Annette
8:40am Wednesday 20th February 2013 in News
By James Connell
looking for fun: Glamour model Annette Edwards says she would be happy to strip off when she appears on Big Brother.
THE world’s oldest page three model will go topless and look for fun and romance in the Big Brother house.
Pensioner Annette Edwards, aged 61, of Pershore Road, Stoulton, near Worcester, said she will not be shy about getting her kit off as one of the contestants on the controversial TV show.
The former Playboy model who was named as one of the successful BB contestants in the Daily Star, was once the face of Nivea. She said show bosses want her to ‘get together’ with ‘The Giant’, the name given to 7ft 1ins Lydon Sutcliffe, who was also named as a contestant on the Channel 5 show.
Ms Edwards, who is single, said it all began six months ago when one of the show’s researchers rang her asking if she would be interested in applying for Big Brother.
She said: “It wasn’t something I had thought of doing. When the researcher rang I thought ‘why not?’”
Ms Edwards is known as a Guinness world record holder as the oldest page three model. She says she is still working, doing shoots for newspapers. She is also known for owning the world’s biggest rabbit and for the £10,000 of surgery she had to transform herself into a real-life version of voluptuous cartoon character Jessica Rabbit from the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
She received phone calls from show researchers asking her random questions including about her ideal housemate which she said would be ‘a gay man’ because there was ‘never the threat of flirting’. She said she had travelled the world, had a lot of experience and could ‘handle anything’.
She said: “You can expect me to get topless in the house. I’m looking forward to having some fun and controlling some of the situations.”
However, Ms Edwards said she would not be getting completely naked and had recently refused an offer of £30,000 to appear in a top-shelf magazine because she said ‘there’s limits’.
Ms Edwards said: “I’m very direct and I wouldn’t beat around the bush. I wouldn’t go behind people’s backs. They would get it straight from me.”
Ms Edwards described herself as a bit of a ‘clean freak’ and said she enjoyed cooking and believed in a healthy diet. She said of her page three work: “There’s nobody else like it. That is why the intrigue is there all the time. I’m looking for fun and romance in the house.”
Ms Edwards said she start date for the show had yet to be announced but it could be on our screens in June.

Why would you watch it ?
Why would she want to do it ?
Why would any responsible TV Producer allow this to be aired ?

She will be the laughing stock of the country !

What on earth has it got to do with anyone on here how Annette chooses to live her life.I shall not be watching Big Brother, but good luck to her.
Thats exactly why the silly woman is doing it... For publicity which come from public opinion. You can't then moan of that opion is negative.
As Jennifer1995 has pointed out, has Annette prepared herself for that.
This is exploitation in masquerading as entertainment. They used to call them freak shows I believe.

If she is not to your taste, there is a simple answer.
See that red box with a cross in it, top right corner? CLICK IT!.
POOF.. she has gone.
Do not look, do not watch big brother!
and to be fair, there are worse sites on TV of late. She is not a bad looking woman for her age and if she has still got it (or thinks she has) then let her flaunt it! you do not have to look!.

If you don't want attention then don't flaunt it. Did she honestly think people wouldn't have an opinion or that everyone would be giving her the thumbs up. How naive is that ?

I do not see her getting the hump with the comments so i am afraid your comment makes no sense at all.
I just do not understand people that make remarks like the ones i have read here judged purely on someones looks and their way of life.
And i am guessing that this woman is an intelligent woman that knows she will not get the 'thumbs up' from all the people, as she is not everyone's cup of tea (far from mine, i am female!), but who are you, or anyone else to call her revolting names and say she needs to be 'euthanized' purely because of her age or looks or how she chooses to make money?

I hope your all there to pick up the pieces.
Remember the whole Shilpa Shetty debacle a few years ago ? Bulling, racism etc etc.
The arena this woman is entering is cheap, nasty, manipulative and edited to be ruthless.
Good on you for throwing her to the lions.. Fools.

I don't particularly. You sign up for financial gain then you've got to take what comes.
Just pointing out to the supporters that this could end in emotional disaster when / if the ruthless editors decide to have some fun.
Bored with this now. Enjoy the circus and sleep well at night.

If reading these comments is anything to go by (and that's just from a local newspaper).. then one can only imagine the response nationally.
Lets just hope she is thick skinned, although i am guessing in her line of work she has to be.
Never know, she could win everyone's heart with an incredible personality, we shall see.

No amount of "common decency" or "political correctness" will stop what she is about to put herself through.
We can only hope she has a better sense of humour about herself than most people on here....
