MMA FIGHTER TO WIN CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER UK?


Pro MMA fighter Alex Reid (8-9-1) could well be on course to win the final of hit reality TV show 'Celebrity Big Brother'.

What could make his victory even more monumental is that Channel 4, who broadcast the show, have told fans that this is the last ever bunch of celebs to enter the house, as the show is to end.

Reid hit the headlines last year following his romance with glamour model Katie Price. Appearing in tabloid papers and gossip magazines earned him instant fame, which lead to his spot on the show.

As a result of his image portrayed by the UK media, Reid was a huge 33-1 underdog going in to the show, yet he has made it all the way to the final, proving that not only fellow housemates, but the general public have warmed to him. Even his biggest critics, including die-hard MMA fans have praised his behaviour and attitude on National TV.

For anyone in the UK, voting stops tonight.

Could a Pro MMA fighter win the last ever Celeb Big Bro?

.....stranger things have happened.
