The Zig picture
By Will Parkhouse
Er, what’s Christian Bale doing in the house? Shouldn’t he be busy making the next Batman film or something? Oh right, yeah, I keep forgetting, that’s Ziggy, the new housemate.
Here’s the news: HE'S A MAN. But we were expecting that. What’s confused me is that I thought men like Ziggy only existed in Austen-tatious romcoms. He has a kind of suavity that means he’s physically incapable of saying “um” or “er”. He’s ripped, but in a benevolent kind of way – you won’t catch him bare-knuckle brawling, but you might find him lifting felled telegraph poles off trapped old ladies.
Despite all this, he lives with his mum and he loves his dog. And he's single, natch. When Charley first saw him walk in she actually nearly cried. I’m not even joking.
But although Ziggy appears to be the most perfect human being of all time, it’s highly unlikely he’ll stay that way, if his 11 clucking disciples continue to claw at those messianic sleeves of his.
In the same way that the Zigster’s angelic face occasionally slips from a boyish Bale into a goblinesque Willem Dafoe, I give it two more days before those cool winks are replaced by the flailing arms of a man being drowned in a big tub of oestrogen.
gerry 2 win!!

I'm probably showing my age! but he reminds me of Paul Nicolas when he was in Just Good Friends in the 80's. I always did have a soft spot for him?!?!?

I think this has goota be one of the most amazing guys anywhere..... not only does he have the looks, but he has the personality as well. all those that say he is a munter need glasses.... n if you say he's a wimp well he isnt because i no they all say 'its a guys dream' to be in a house with 11 women but i dont think many would have coped with the likes of up-herself charley and crazy but cool carol. He is kind 2 the older folk whilst quuietly dreamer of the prettier girls. which i think is dead sweet good on him.... go Ziggy!

Christian Bale! That's the one, the name was on the tip of my tongue :p
Anyways... Does no one think he looks unreservedly different from the other men that go in there? Maybe being half- drowned in a tub of oestrogen brings out his manly side or something -- but he seems.. not to be butch but to have that sexy manliness that's found in non- muscly people as well. That sort of natural authority a man has over women... *in dream state*
And then of course aside that, the only reserve i have is that he uses his manly authority, unchallenged by any other man in the house -- to his own pure advantage. He takes the lead just 'caus he has a :O ; and acts the arbitrator of the house's feuds, or has some need to..
Anyway he's a dreamboat to me 18yr old self. And he TRIES to look like David Beckham.. definitely actually looking more like Christian Bale.. who i also like!

how much u wana bet they put a gay bloke in there next. this big bro sucks!

It would of been nice to have a strong man mentally in there and chats and prats about about, he told all the girls in the meal they were all beautiful, creepy in my eyes wouldnt trust him as far as i could throw him.
chanell need to stay away from him and see if any nicer blokes come in, shes a nice girl. i like leslie, she got a very dry sense of humour,
