  1. HOW COULD BRIAN PADDICK SAY HE HAS NO PHOBIAS? I MEAN WHEN I'M A CELEBRITY WAS ON OUR SCREENS IT LOOKED AS IF BRIAN PADDICK WAS AFRAID OF HIMSELF. HE IS A WHIMP AND IS THE BIGGEST LIAR IN THE PLANET, EARTH AND OF COURSE THE UNIVERSE. IF ANYBODY HAS NO PHOBIA'S IT HAS TO BE JOE SWASH BECAUSE HE WON THE SHOW! NICOLA MCLEAN HAS TONS OF PHOBIAS BUT AT LEAST SHE ADMITS THAT SHE HAS THEM UNLINKE BP. LOL
