Ever since James Cosmo first walked along that runway on his way into the βCelebrity Big Brotherβ house last month, thereβs been something thatβs troubling us.
What the hell is he actually doing there?
This is a man who starred opposite Mel Gibson in βBraveheartβ, who appeared in 12 episodes of βGame Of Thronesβ and who you can currently catch in βT2 Trainspottingβ, undeniably one of the yearβs biggest British films.
Why was he suddenly about to spend four weeks of his life shacked up with Nicola McLean, Calum Best and Jedward?
Well, after finishing in fourth place in this yearβs final, James spoke candidly with Emma Willis, and admitted that it was the thought of the impending paycheque that first lured him into going in the house.
He explained: βObviously there are financial [reasons], mainlyβ¦ but I also wanted to come in and be part of something that very few people experience.
βTo be stuck in this room with 18 people to begin withβ¦ it was fascinating to see people from all sorts of different aspects of life together and separating!β
However, despite saying it was βtouchingβ to have been kept in the house for so long by the public, he bluntly added that he βnever wanted to see Kim [Woodburn] againβ.
Frankly, we feel the complete opposite, and weβre already hoping βCBBβ producers are willing to fork out to get her back for this summerβs βLegendsβ seriesβ¦
Jamesβs right-hand woman Coleen Nolan eventually wound up being crowned the βAll Starsβ winner, with Jedward behind her in second place.
