Buzzin Celebrity Gossip

Bingo’s all over the place these days. It’s said goodbye high street and hello Hollywood. See ya later blue rinse and bonjour glamour.

Not only have a whole range of celebrities taken on the mantle, but – and maybe more importantly – they’ve been proud of the fact!

Sharon Osbourne, wife of former Black Sabbath lead Ozzy and one of the founding hosts of The X Factor, is a massive fan, and a great ambassador. Not only does she bring a bit of glitz and glam to the beautiful game, but she’s so down to earth! Because it’s doesn’t matter who plays bingo, or where they play it, the game will always remain the preserve of the working classes … or will it?

Other recent celebs who’ve taken on the mantle, have been Mick Jagger’s daughter Jade. If Sharon brought working class chic, Jade brings style of a very different kind. A jewellery designer by trade, Jade attended the all girls boarding school St Mary’s Colne, and went on to run a successful accessories designing business which included designing and developing the legendary Jagger Dagger – a highly polished 18k white gold blade with 12 carats of brilliant cut diamonds on the hilt.

But where would a girl with so much of the world at her feet find a desire to play bingo?

The answer seems to be that behind all the glitz and glam there’s something within the game that’s about more than just enjoying the chance of a big win. Jackpotjoy offers the chance win huge jackpots and cash prizes on all its bingo and casino games including bingo 75, bingo 90, roulette and blackjack.

It’s genuinely exciting, for a start. Exciting in a way that poker or blackjack are. There’s the chance of risk and the chance of reward. But bingo’s also super social, which allows players to enjoy time together while they play – it’s like a wonderfully female-centric gambling game.

But it’s not just the girls who are choosing bingo as their game.

British world champion boxer Carl Froch is also well in on the game, apparently. But Froch uses the chance to spend time with friends as an opportunity to ground himself. Because it’s social, it’s a chance to share the excitement.

Robbie Williams has also been seen enjoying bingo at the super kitsch Hamburger Mary’s Bar and Grill in Hollywood, which offers bingo as one of their regular nights.

So if you’re one of those people who love the chance to take part in what is fast becoming the country’s number one game of choice then don’t miss out!
