Dettori tells housemates
reasons for Godolphin split.
"FRANKIE
DETTORI has revealed it was advice from his wife Catherine that helped lead to
the decision to give up his long-standing position with Godolphin last year, writes David Carr.
"She
suggested the three-time champion Flat- race jockey, who is serving a six-month
drugs ban, look for a new challenge in the final part of his career, rather
than continue in a role he had held since 1994.
"Speaking
to American couple Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt in the kitchen of the
Celebrity Big Brother house, Dettori said: "I gave up my job because my
wife said, 'you are unhappy, you are going to get even more miserable, retire
miserable ... because you think you have been cheated of your career. You've
got five years left, the best years of your life. Do you want to take the money
or do you want to express yourself?" I had to do it and now I've done it.
"I'm
only 42 but I've been through life as a roller-coaster. There are a lot of big
decisions you have to make in life."
"Dettori
survived Friday night's eviction vote, in which former EastEnders star Gillian
Taylforth left the house.
"He
is a best- priced 22-1 shot with bet365 to win the series, which concludes on
Friday. X Factor performer Rylan Clark is odds-on favourite, while Steps popstar
Claire Richards, is the outsider at 55-1.The action continues on Channel 5 at 9pm on Sunday January 20th."
"He's been exactly like he is like in real life. With
two weeks down and one to go - if he makes it to the final on Friday - we
canvassed jockeys and trainers to ask how they thought Frankie Dettori was
faring in the Celebrity Big Brother house. It was a thumbs-up from those in the
know, but not everyone in the racing community seems totally gripped by the
reality television show ...."
Peter Chapple-Hyam , trainer "I watched the first episode and I was
thankful he was the first one to go in so I could turn it off! I've watched it
now and again, though, and he's doing well. He's being Frankie - he is what he
is, he is a nice guy. The longer he stays in, the longer he'll have to get his
personality across and to do a lot of good for racing."
Martin Dwyer, jockey "I haven't been watching it but there was
plenty of chat in the weighing room when we saw the pictures of him dressed up
as a woman. He'll get a good welcome when he's back riding again."
Luke Morris, jockey "He's doing really well and I think its good
for the sport' I'm enjoying watching it and I know the same goes for quite a
few lads in the weighing room. I think Rylan (Clark) is a strong favourite, but
I think Frankie's got a good chance of
being one of the last one's left."
Racheal Kneller jockey "I'm glued
to it! I thought it was hilarious when Frankie dressed up as a dictator and I'm
glad that happened because he hasn't been a part of the drama that's gone on. As the dictator, he's
come back into it more and reminded people he's still there. I think everybody
really likes him."
Rab
Havlin, jockey "I think Frankie's
doing well. He's been exactly what he's like in real life; he hasn't slagged
anybody off. He's not one for arguing and that's how he's come across on the
show. He doesn't really like confrontation and I can see he's been taking a
back seat for the last few days. That might just be him getting bored and I'd say he probably wants out now."
John Gosden, trainer "I wouldn't waste my time on such nonsense.
When John McCririck was on it a few
years ago I saw him in his underpants
and that put me off Big Brother for life."
