Time on his hands: Banned Dettori enters Celebrity Big Brother house

Surely a nice break in the Bahamas would’ve been a better idea, Frankie?

UNABLE TO RACE until May due to a drugs ban he picked up last month, jockey Frankie Dettori has made the odd decision to spend some of his free time in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

The 41-year-old Italian was hit with the suspension by French governing body France Galop after failing a doping test in September and last night entered the Channel 5 reality programme last night alongside fellow contestants which include former Liverpool defender Neil Ruddock and X Factor’s Rylan Clark.

Personally, we can think of a million better things to do with a few weeks off.
