Shameless Tina: Put Meadows in CBB
Friday December 04 2009
Tina Malone has said she'd like to see Shane Meadows in the seventh - and final - series of Celebrity Big Brother.
The Shameless actress, who names the This Is England director as one of her favourites, took part in the competition in January this year.
When asked what she thought of Shane saying he'd like to enter the house in 2010, Tina said: "You're joking, give him my love - he's one of my heroes and I think he could win it."
Channel 4 drama Shameless, which is also due to start its seventh series in January, has just been recomissioned for an eighth series and - for the first time - it will be 22 episodes long.
The series' creator Paul Abbott said: "The most fantastic thing about this decision is that it is the first time that Channel 4 has extended a British drama series for a 22-episode season.
"After eight years of working on this show, you'd think I'd be sick of the sight of it by now, but I am thrilled. It has fired me up even more and already has inspired a thousand new ideas to try experimenting with."
Paul will be doing a Q And A at London's BFI Southbank on December 8, and will introduce an episode of the new series.
