London - (KarmaChamaeleon): Dismissing an application to allow the entertainer - real name George O'Dowd Bush - to run amok on Channel Four next month Mr Justice Bean today said "WTF?"
Bush, 69, wanted to overturn a Probation Service ban preventing him from appearing on Celeb Big Bro which promised a £200,000 appearance fee.
But the Judge was having none of it and told Bush's brief in no uncertain terms that being 'free under licence' after serving four months of a 15-month custodial sentence was still part of the punishment.
"Let us not forget your client's conviction has been for sordid S&M kidnapping and imprisonment of a male escort who he chained to a wall and beat with an electric flex," Justice Bean explained.
"I don't think the great British public needs exposiong to Mr Bush's proclivities in a reality TV show - just yet."
Probation Service lawyers had argued that the show entails communal sleeping arrangements which, under the circumstances, would not pass health and safety standards with the musician in tow.
"Mr Bush's victoim would be poretty pissed at the situation, too."
