Will Best says his dad 'short circuited' when became a TV presenter rather than go to Oxbridge
The ‘Big Brother’ host - who is helming the ITV reboot of the reality series with AJ Odudu - admitted his father wasn't too pleased with his pivot towards hosting light entertainment TV instead of pursuing a more serious career and a university degree.
The 38-year-old television personality told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: “My dad has always worked in charity and he wanted me to go to Oxbridge and work for a think tank and contribute to society in a positive way.
“When I quit advertising to become a TV presenter, that was a little hard for him to compute.
“Then I was like, ‘I’m hosting a show called Suck My Pop’ and he started to short circuit.”
Will revealed his “first job” was getting his “nipples waxed” by former glamour model Katie Price, who then got him to strip down so she could give him a more tanned look.
He said: “Then my first job was having my nipples waxed by Katie Price, who then gave me a full body spray tan with me wearing a pair of paper pants."
Recently, the ex ‘Celebrity Coach Trip’ star was revealed to have a “penchant” for digging for bogeys, according to his co-host AJ.
She told the Daily Star newspaper: "Will's got a penchant for picking his nose."
Will said: "When we used to work together a long time ago, very occasionally, on a long shoot day, AJ might look across, and I might have occasionally been picking my nose, and biting my nail but they go hand in hand, right?
"You can't have your nails too long if you pick your nose. You have to have the right length to get the good stuff."
Despite being outed by her, the ex ‘Love Shaft’ host praised “perfect and amazing” AJ.
Will said: "There's nothing AJ does that annoys me but now I feel like I should try and think of something. She's just perfect and amazing."
