This... is Big Brother?!

He's only been the main Big Brother for one year, but he has come to be known as "the funny Big Brother" after taking over from past Big-BBs Peter Abbott (01-03) and Nick Colquhoun (04-07). So after all this time, what does BB08's BB look like?

Not what you expected, right? Leon Murray has been with BB for many years and even had some on-screen time in BB04's UpLate where he would read a poem about the events of the week every Friday night. Here's his name in the credits of BB05 UpLate as an Editor:

It's weird putting a face to the voice. Like finding out Daniel Stern was Kevin Arnold's uncredited grown-up voice in The Wonder Years, or that Drew Forsythe (who I remember from The Miraculous Mellops!) was the man behind David Tench.

Now that BB has been outed, can he go on if the show is picked up by Channel 9 next year? Or would they source their own BB voice? Surely Mr Channel 9, Eddie McGuire, could do it. "This is Big Brother... the winner of BB09 will be a quarter of a mi-yen-airre!"
