BIG Brother host AJ Odudu wins endless praise for her fashion-forward wardrobe.
But Will Best’s keen not to be kept out the spotlight – so he decided to ditch his entirely.

Fans were left swooning when he stripped naked not once, but twice, in jokey social media videos.
Will laughed: “It wasn’t my idea, but I didn’t need to be persuaded particularly . . . look, AJ has her amazing clothes, right? I can’t compete with that.
“So I’ve got to go all the way the other way and wear no clothes.”
His take on Barry Keoghan‘s starkers dance in Saltburn elicited many messages.
He added: “The thing I like about those kind of messages is that they’re always funny. Like, there’s a wit and hilarity to them.
“After the first series, my friends printed out some of the best comments. And as a surprise on the day of the final, they printed out all the thirstiest and plastered them all over my dressing room.
“The beauty of Big Brother is people love it and if they want to show that by messaging absolute filth to the host, great!”
- Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
RAVING MAD FOR STRICTLY
WILL’S fear of creepy crawlies means he would never sign up for I’m A Celebrity – but he reckons he would be scarily good on Strictly.
The presenter says he could throw some serious shapes because he once tried to be a professional dancer in Ibiza when he was 18.
Will said: “I’m A Celeb . . . I’m just so scared of insects.
“I would have to be hypnotised before going into the jungle.
“Love Island, I’m too old. And I’m in a relationship. But mainly I’m too old.
“But Strictly, I would love to do that.
“I’ve always fancied myself as a dancer.
“When I was 18, the first time I went to Ibiza, I came back and I told all my friends and my parents I was going to spend every summer there as a professional dancer. I’m that good.
“So, yeah, rave week in Strictly!”
My big bother
THE scary concept of being filmed 24/7 for TV is something Big Brother host Willknows all about.
But the presenter has confessed that he faces a far more horrifying reality at home.

We met up to chat about the ITV2 show’s devilish plans for Halloween when Will revealed that he suffers from horrifying night terrors.
Will said: “I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a ghost, but I do suffer from night terrors.
“They are basically like part of my brain is asleep and part of it is awake.
“So your eyes are open, you’re up, you’re sitting up in bed, but you are hallucinating. Part of you is still in a dream.
“So I’ve seen some terrifying things in my bedroom that I then put down to night terrors.”
The sleep disorder has led to hallucinations so vivid, he has woken convinced a partner was choking to death.
Stopped breathing
He went on: “The scary thing is it’s not just what they do, it’s what I then do. I’ve had one where I hallucinated somebody was trying to steal my then girlfriend’s pillow, and so I yanked it back.
“I once had a night terror where I thought my partner had stopped breathing, so I started trying to administer CPR!”
Will added: “Obviously it’s disturbing. But the good thing about it is if I was in the Big Brother house, I would definitely get a bed to myself because nobody wants to deal with that!”
The plans for the housemates this “Halloweek” sound spooky enough without a dose of sleep demons.
So far the housemates have become part of Camp Big Brother and had to play creepy games which have left Emma forced to nominate four of her pals. Will revealed: “This week is Halloweek and that means there’s going to be a lot of scary moments.
And what is the scariest thing for housemates? Shock evictions. So watch this space. There’s still loads of them in there and we’ve got less than three weeks to get them all out.
“Last series contestant Kerry exited through a coffin so Big Brother’s got previous and I wouldn’t be surprised to see backdoor evictions.”
But would that really be the scariest thing that could happen in the house?
Will added: “I’d like to see some cross-pollination of the series.
“I would like to see Louis Walsh from Celebrity Big Brother going in there and hauling someone out by the ear!”
Now we’re talking.
BB LOVE’S REEL DEAL
MANY fans are convinced loved-up Nathan and Rosie’s relationship is just a showmance.
But now Will has weighed in on the debate about the pair, pictured here in their Halloween gear.
He revealed that Big Brother bosses threw out the rule book to use out-of-house audio without the pair’s knowledge. They played the moment Rosie asked the Scot out when she thought they were not being recorded.
Will said: “It’s definitely romance. She was the one who asked Nathan to go stay at a winery with her when she thought that was not being picked up by the mics, there was no cameras, and she asked him on a romantic weekend away.
“That’s not a showmance by definition, because she waited until she thought she was off the show to ask.
“And Nathan is clearly into it because you have only got to look at the way he stares at her with this little soppy look on his face. When we found out that we had the audio, honestly, it was like we had struck gold. Viewers lost their minds.”
