The ‘Bad’ singer is planning to celebrate his brother Jermaine’s 54th birthday by reuniting him with his fellow contestants from the 2007 celebrity version of the UK reality TV show. A source said: “He knows how much Jermaine loved being on the show and is confident he get the contestants back together.
“It would be the weekend to end all weekends.”
Reclusive Michael who recently settled a £4.7 million lawsuit with Arab sheikh Abdulla Al-Khalifa was an avid watcher of this year’s regular series and was delighted when the contestants recreated his famous dance routine for ‘Thriller’. Jermaine who turns 54 on December 11 came second to Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty in the controversial fifth series. The show caused outrage when Indian actress Shilpa became a victim of racist bullying at the hands of British glamour model Danielle Lloyd, S Club 7 singer Jo O’Meara and TV star Jade Goody.
Viewers saw Danielle brand the actress a “dog” and say she should “f**k off home”, while Jade shockingly referred to her as “Shilpa Poppadom”, much to the amusement of Jo, who later suffered a breakdown as a result of the public backlash. All four are expected to be invited to Jermaine’s bash, although ‘Big Brother’ production company Endemol is yet to reply to Michael’s request to use the house as a venue.
