Reality TV star halts filming as audience struggle to contain laughter

Saturday, 3 November 2007

Brian Dowling halted filming of last Saturday's All Star Family Fortunes because the audience couldn't stop tittering at one of his jokes.

In the final Big Money stage of the show, presenter Vernon Kay asked Brian to name a type of bean to which the camp BB winner answered 'les-bien'.

'The audience was laughing so much, the crew had to stop filming while they calmed down,' an insider tells the Sun.

After making his quip, 29-year-old Brian dropped to his knees and told Vernon, 'I shouldn't have said that!'

He received a score of zero for the guess but it's safe to say he scored a lot of points with the audience.
