Nooooooooo. Can’t believe he dealt. That was his wife. He should have went another round I think.

He's so bloody dullThere's a Christmas special with micheal Owen on Sunday night 7pm
Wish it was a different celebrity though![]()
I had the same thought, that comment put me right off herBit arrogant saying 'I've got that at home' about the offer. Show some awareness when the country is in a cost of living crisis and some people cant even buy nappies for their babies.![]()
Oh yes I'd forgotten that.Do they not give the option to swap their box at the end now? Maybe I’ve missed that bit
Why does he? because he didn't take the £11k thats his silly fault.The go fund me is now at 19k. He deserves every penny if he does have MND which is one of the worst diseases known to man.
Thanks for that Lenny.Brad is going to be on Good Morning Britain at 7.50 to talk about the money raised to help him carry out his bucket list

That’s what I think is the sticking point for a lot of folk athe Go Fund Me - if you really wanted to fulfil your bucket list, I don’t understand why you’d turn down such a good offer. Yeah if you open £75k you might be a bit sad but that money was never yours and you’re still going away with a lot.
I thought the GFM had been set up at the time of filming rather than more recently - it could be a thing in future series because if I really needed money, I would be a lot more cautious than some if not most of the contestants have been so far. But if there’s a potential safety net…

Sorry for the spammy post:
* Brad genuinely thought he’d win big
* Rochelle (contestant) told him after she’d set up the GFM. They met at auditions and connected straight away
* It’s over £48k at the moment - Rochelle set the target at £20k
* Means the world to him. He’s had thousands of lovely messages. Very emotional talking about it
* Plans to spend the money on a trip to India and Thailand and go and see other places. He wants to do a bungee jump
* Always been skint. Doesn’t like to take money from anyone but his mum and is blown away
* Didn’t think anyone would be touched by his story
* Now at £51k since he’s been on air. “Still a long time ago” since they filmed and he was “content” with his £5. Feels it’s a bit too much. Has been asked to do a lot of interviews but this is his final one as he needs to decompress
* Ed Balls told him people wanted to donate because of who he is and he deserves it
* Charlotte Hawkins dad died of MND so they touched on the illness and how it affects him. (I didn’t realise he’s only 29). He has hand cramps and has had therapy for his speech. Feels positive he can deal with it. Charlotte told him to make the most of the money
I hope he at least donates some to a charity so others can benefit tooBrad is going to be on Good Morning Britain at 7.50 to talk about the money raised to help him carry out his bucket list

Tbf I don't begrudge him actually. Poor soul. You wouldn't wish MND on anyone.Brad's gofundme now up to 31k. So pleased for him. He may end up getting that 100k after all.
