Carlisle ‘reality Tv Is Hell’
By WENNMonday, November 9, 2009
BELINDA CARLISLE’s appearance on cooking show HELL’S KITCHEN really was hellish - she suffered nightmares about invasive TV cameras for weeks after filming.
The Go-Go’s singer has in recent years appeared on a string of reality shows, including talent contest Dancing With The Stars and a celebrity version of Gordon Ramsay’s cookery programme Hell’s Kitchen in 2004.
But she admits she doesn’t enjoy starring in the TV programmes and doesn’t want to sign up for another - because she hates being surrounded by a film crew.
She explains, “It (Hell’s Kitchen) was hell. I don’t do well with reality TV. It’s just like having 24/7 surveillance. I was dreaming about cameras following me around for weeks afterwards. He (Ramsay) was really nice and I made some good friends, but reality TV is not my thing.”
