Snooker ace Ronnie O’Sullivan has been named bookie Paddy Power’s 2/1 favourite to win Celebrity Big Brother when it returns to our screens in the New Year.

The world Number 1, dubbed ‘The Rocket’ for his speed around the snooker table will enter the house on the 3rd January and is already streets ahead of other celebrities rumoured to be taking part including Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson at 4/1, US rap legend MC Hammer at 6/1 and Boy George at 10/1.

Entering the house will mean Ronnie, also known as the “Mozart of snooker”, will miss the snooker Masters in January. And Paddy Power are already betting there’ll be fireworks, quoting just 4/1 that Ronnie quits the house early, 10/1 that he gets to grips with Pammy and 12/1 that he finds himself locking horns with a fellow housemate.

Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power said, “Ronnie is a genius at the snooker table but more importantly he’s a colourful and unpredictable character off the table – the perfect recipe for Big Brother success! With the Rocket lined up it looks like the Head of Channel 4 Julian Bellamy was right – the last series of Celeb Big Brother will definitely “go out with a bang”!”

Thank goodness for the pause button on tv and the ability to record!! Herself (2.5yrs) wasn’t in the form for going to sleep this evening and as if I hadn’t had enough exercise today after my marathon walk this morning, I was subjected to various trips up and down the stairs to try and settle her. Teething is a biatch. But of course, its got to be worse for the little one suffering…

So Friday night tv. Well what did I watch? I thoroughly enjoyed tv tonight… Started off with the Late Late Show. I find myself far more inclined to watch this now that PK has gone (think his new programme is very good and he’s actually very good on it – finally RTE get something right!!). So because herself was acting up, I was rather late entering the competition on the Late Late. I wait for that phone call every Friday night telling me I’ve won some super duper prize. One night Tubbers will ring me, I’m convinced of it.  But has anyone else noticed how they don’t call the competition winner live on air any more? They ring them and have them waiting off air before introducing them. I don’t like it. No element of surprise on phone and the winner sounds so completely ungrateful! It was great being able to fast forward through most of the programme tonight. No offence to wee Daniel but I didn’t watch his interview. Not a bad show overall tonight though. Great to see the Docs playing but please, message to Davy – PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CUT YOUR HAIR. Thanks.

So once Tubbers finished, it was straight to the remote to click on menu and recordings and Jonathan Ross – what a great line up! I’m going to buy Jamie Callum’s album, great voice. Joanne Page of Gavin & Stacey undoubtedly had THE best comeback line to JR himself – “am I the only girl who’s ever sat on this couch and sucked you dry?” GENIUS!!! Speaking of, Tim Minchin… I’d never heard of this guy before but what a comedic genius! Thought Boy George was great.  And of course, JR stripping down to his jocks?! Hello???! Who else would or COULD get away with that?!

And with that I’ll call it a night. Might check in tomorrow.
