BOGOF Bingo Advert star depressed

When it comes to online bingo adverts some sites use celebs to front their commercials. Big names like Foxy and 888Ladies used Katie Price and more recently Vic Reeves for 888Ladies. However a lesser known brand uses a Britain’s Got Talent novelty star, DJ Talent. The Sun newspaper reported yesterday the BOGOF Bingo advert star is depressed.

DJ Talent is reported to be scared to leave his house since starring in the ITV1 hit show that has just started a new series. Apparently the star of the BOGOF Bingo adverts, real name Anthony Gosh, has been receiving threatening and abusive phone calls as well as being hounded on the social networking site, Facebook. One user threatened that should he ever meet DJ Talent he would ‘knock his gold teeth out’.

Whilst the star of the BOGOF Bingo advert and Britain’s Got Talent is said to be suffering from depression the site that he is front man for doesn’t seem to be fairing too badly in the world of online bingo. BOGOF (buy one get one free) is the name of the game at this site and DJ Talent uses his famous hip hop rap to promote their online bingo brand during the twenty second commercial. The rap, very similar to the one DJ Talent performed on Britain’s Got Talent, focuses on the ethos of ‘Buy One Get One Free’ from BOGOF Bingo and whilst it may not be the most innovative of online bingo commercials it doesn’t feature a woman or a lap top.

For those of you who haven’t seen the advert for BOGOF Bingo, here it is:
