Tobias turns “Dorm Room” triumph into radio gig

“Celebrity Dorm Room” fan favourite Tobias Lyngstad will replace Raluca Albescu as the presenter of PureFM’s “Pop Review.”

Last month Lyngstad came third in the reality TV show, which locks has-beens, wannabes and internet-famous people no one over the age of 13 has heard of before into a room together and then broadcasts all the crap they say to one another.

Fans of “Celebrity Dorm Room”—an inexplicably enduring piece of television detritus—fell in love with the cheeky hairdresser from Colchester. Lyngstad spoke candidly about the humiliation his early “Make Me a Pop Star” fame caused him, his teenage relationship with the future Go Tos superstar and the time an unnamed Sugababe fell asleep on his waxing table.

In a statement, PureFM said: “Tobias’s personality, his humour, his passion for pop music, are too fabulous to be contained to his mum’s salon. The fans have spoken. They want more Tobias! We couldn’t agree more. Join him every Saturday afternoon at midday for four hours of seriously entertaining pop music news, gossip, exclusives and waxing-table revelations.”

Albescu announced last spring she was leaving “Pop Review” after five years in the hot seat to become a co-host of the new series of “Britain’s Cake Off”—making her the primary reason men across Britain will join their families on the couch each Sunday night to watch it.
