Remember that libel case he lost be he claimed he had won? The latest example comes from this week's "Private Eye". According to Desmond, Celebrity BB was watched by "20 million people", when in fact the viewing figures were just ten percent of that number.DBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12037903987926646446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092552783161885712.post-19927813113565837682011-09-28T16:02:22.022+01:002011-09-28T16:02:22.022+01:00"Britain's Biggest Lottery" What wit..."Britain's Biggest Lottery" What with the charity furor and an alleged top prize of £100,000 compared to the National Lottery's routine prizes of millions and greater charity output, that statement would, in fact, be a blatant lie.

Still, at least the Express and Star will get some good promotion out of it, meaning that Richard Desmond will get richer while the 'good causes' lose out.
