TV host Zeze Millz has been left with egg on her face as old tweets where she slated Celebrity Big Brother have resurfaced now she is in the famous house herself.
The 34-year-old Londoner is one of twelve stars taking part in ITV’s revived reality show Celebrity Big Brother - which also includes X Factor judge Louis Walsh, 71, Strictly Come Dancing hunk Nikita Kuzmin, 26, and 29-year-old Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu. And while there is an impressive range of celebs taking part in the star-studded version of the iconic reality show, it seems Zeze herself is not the biggest fan of the format herself.
Back in 2011, the then 22-year-old was far from impressed by the reality show while watching the twelfth season of the show. That year saw iconic Canadian actress Pamela Anderson, 56 - who found worldwide fame as a star of Baywatch - enter the house. Zeze made it clear she thought celebrities had to be desperate to take part in the reality show. Taking aim at Pammy - who was a 'surprise guest' in the civilian version of the show - Zeze broadcast her views for all to see via the social media app Twitter.

In suggesting stars had to be broke to resort to appearing on Celebrity Big Brother, many fans of the franchise seized the opportunity to poke fun at Zeze over her past comments as her old tweet resurfaced.
One fan messaged her to joke: "Sorry to hear about your financial situation :(". Another typed: "Life works in mysterious ways #CBBUK." Another wrote: "Really thought a social media audit would be common practice for anyone going onto a reality TV show these days #CBBUK." While a further fan typed: "Looks like you’re broke then…"

In her defence, Zeze has made it clear previously that she loves watching reality TV - and that she’s not shy about sharing opinions. In footage that was shared before her Celebrity Big Brother entry, Zeze introduced herself saying: “You might know me from my show The Zeze Millz Show and from just sharing my opinion online.” She continued: “I would say my personality is quite laidback. I’m quit chilled. However, I do love a good debate. I really don’t like people that talk too much, which is so interesting became I talk for a living and I don’t like overly loud people.”
Revealing her love for reality shows, she said: “For fun I actually love watching reality TV. So it's actually so surreal that I’m going into the Big Brother house now.” And Zeze also warned fans they might see her wearing glasses while in the house. She explained: “I’m not wearing my glasses right now. I’m wearing contacts. I wear my contacts all the time, but you might actually see me wearing the glasses in the house. I try everything in my power not for anyone to see me wearing these glasses.”
Celebrity Big Brother airs via ITV1 and ITVX nightly at 9pm.
