Celebrity Big Bro's Vinnie Jones to open pub in US

Celebrity Big Brother housemate Vinnie Jones wants to open an English style pub in America with film star Jason Statham - naming it after their movie Snatch.

It was rumoured last month that rapper 50 Cent wanted to open a chain of pubs with Vinnie in the US, but the hard man has decided to choose his acting pal instead.

Vinnie told The Sun: "Me and Jay have been talking about it for about a year.

"We were thinking The Snatch Bar or something like that down in Santa Monica.

“We're going to do it, it's just a question of us finding the time.

"Jay has been working so much and so have I. That and golf. People say, 'What do you mean you've been working?' I'm working on my handicap.

"The pubs will happen. We had a great spot right opposite the pier in Santa Monica. They just wanted too much rent. Me and Jay went to look at it and we had three other investors, all Brits."

Vinnie revealed that he is going to stay in touch with Celeb Big Bro winner Alex Reid and his new wife glamour girl Katie Price - who the cage fighter married in a secret ceremony in Las Vegas on Monday.

Jones said: "They're gonna come over. She saw my wife Tanya at the party after the show.

"They exchanged numbers and are coming over in March. They're going to stay with us.

"When I first came in the house I was sure I was going to have a tear-up with him. But he was all right. As I said, he's a lovable prat."
