CBB narrator thought series 8 lineup was 'crap'

\'Celebrity Big Brother\' narrator thought the series eight line-up was"crap".

Marcus Bentley narrated the fly on the wall show and its star-studded specials from 2000 to 2018, and he believes after the show moved from Channel 4 to Channel 5 in 2011, the first celebrity version on its new home wasn\'t as good as it could\'ve been.

Replying to a fan account comparing the "calibre" of celebrity contestants after the show switched channels, Marcus wrote on Twitter: "Yes the first line up on 5 was crap. (sic)"
