She added: "imagine my delight when that prince among pornographers, Richard Desmond, announced his intention of sticking his metaphorical tongue down the franchise's still-warm throat and French-kissing it back to life for Channel 5." Monkey was therefore unsurprised at a report in the Sun that Channel 5 has offered Burchill £300,000 to appear on Celebrity Big Brother; the paper claims she wants to be paid more than rivals Liz Jones and Samantha Brick. The only sticking point might be that Burchill has apparently been discussing the offer with friends – strictly against the terms of the Big Brother deal. It would be ironic if Burchill's big mouth kept her off a show she described as "a very old, very dear friend".
