Yahoo News Big Brother winner Brian Belo blasts show and its current 'new breed' hosts Emma Willis and Rylan Clark-Neal
Former Big Brother winner Brian Belo has launched an astonishing rant berating the reality TV show, its spin-off shows, as well as its current hosts Emma Willis and Rylan Clark-Neal.
Brian’s known for his outspoken demeanour since winning the 2007 series, and has raised eyebrows with a string of tweeted opinions since the beginning of the week.
Voicing his concerns to his 133,000 follows, Brian, 30, appeared less than pleased about the current decline of the show since moving from Channel 4 to Channel 5.
People initially thought he’d been hacked, after being such an avid support for all things BB over the past decade.
I think @brian_belo got hacked. It's not like him. Trust me. #BBUK

But it appears this wasn’t the case, when he ranted (at length) about the state of the show. He began tweeting comments blasting the UK series with opinions such as how to ‘fix’ BB and why it’s in such a decline.
Anyone who was in The UK during year 2000-2002, will know @GREATBritain was barmy for @bbuk .. if you come in with those sensibilities alone, you will know how to fix Big Brother @channel5_tv @endemolshineuk .. Quite frankly, the people in charge now are hell against all of that

And, like a lot of us, he loudly reminisced over the show’s original presenter Davina McCall, saying there’s ‘only one Davina!’
It's like, we all get that you wanted to be Davina! But there's only one Davina! It's too much to take now! Davina done @bbuk so now your doing it, she done Popstars: The Rivals, so you do TheVoice .. Davina does L'Oréal adverts, so now you do L'Oréal adverts. It's like *!£%-off!

Brian seemed to get particularly upset when it was announced that Rylan was rumoured to be taking over the Big Brother’s Little Brother mantle, after being the host of Bit On The Side that have followed the nightly episodes. It’s claimed that it will be cleaner and less naughty alternative show, which really annoyed Brian.
And now @channel5_tv are going to put a @Channel4 auditionee as the host of Big Brother Little Brother! That's damn well, insulting to all our hard work we put in with Big Brother. If you got a problem with us Channel 5, why don't you just say @endemolshineuk @endemolshine

And he really couldn’t let it go, taking a swipe at Rylan. His Twitter tirade picked up steam when he mentioned the show’s presenters and how pointless it was bringing Big Brother’s Little Brother back because the ‘new breed’ of presenters ‘can’t present’.
I still can't believe that @channel5_tv are bringing back Big Brother's Little Brother. @bbuk It's not even wanting to be nasty, it's like they both need to go. This decade, we've got a new breed of presenters, people who can't present!

People, including fan accounts, tweeted the star asking if he was okay.
You alright @brian_belo? #BBUK

But he later reassured people he did not get hacked, contrary to some believing he had, after countless tweets blasting the brand and its UK setup.
Don't worry @bigbrotherwikia I didn't get hacked! I'm trying to salvage, what's left of the most innovative show in the world! You said to me yourself, you''ve only been watching in the past ten year's. I've been their since the beginning, I know what this show once was! pic.twitter.com/6BAZe86138
