David Gandy has said he'd never heard of Celebrity Big Brother star Bobby Sabel - but hopes the housemate can change stereotypes about male models. And the 31-year-old, who is dating The Saturdays singer Mollie King, 24, vowed never to go on the Channel 5 reality show himself. "I don't know the guy but I really hope he puts a better light on what the male modelling crowd sometimes get. They are misrepresented," David said. "You think male model, you think (Ben Stiller comedy) Zoolander, so I hope he does well and I hope he changes views." David - who was spotted at V Festival's Virgin Media Louder Lounge catching up with his old flame, MTV presenter Laura Whitmore - ruled out a stay in the Big Brother house. "It's not something you would do. It's really not. I think you've got to look at the people on Big Brother, you don't really want to be associated with those people. I've never watched Big Brother." Bobby has been causing quite a stir in the Big Brother house recently, after falling out with paparazzi photographer Darryn Lyons. During the Wizard of Oz task, Bobby allowed his own sweat to drip into a watering can that nemesis Darryn Lyons had to drink out of. He later owned up to Darryn, who appeared to accept his apololgy.
