PAST

Which former Big Brother housemate would you say you are most like and why?

I wouldn't say I was a diehard fan but my mum is. Recently I could see myself being like Callum Best. He's a nice guy and he got on with everyone, so I'll be like that.

What story from your past will you use to break the ice?

I am quite chatty and I will just talk to people to break the ice. When I think someone is hot I tend to get a bit shy and stuttery.

Big Brother could make you famous. Would you welcome that attention and what has been your closest celebrity encounter?

I wouldn't quit my job and think I'm some sort of A-lister. I have done a programme a few years ago called Girlfriends and I did win it. Afterwards there were a few people wanting photos and it was nice.

PRESENT

Why do you want to enter the Big Brother House?

To get away from my daily routine, getting up early for work and getting back late. This came around I saw it as an opportunity to get out of the routine!

What do you bring to the House?

I like to think I can be everybody's friend and they can come to me for advice. I feel I can give good advice because of my own life experiences. I feel like I have done it all. I probably haven't but feel like I have. I can give good advice but I tend not to follow my own advice!

What do you love most in the world and what will you miss in the House?

It probably is just my family and friends. I am really close to my friends and I am with them all the time.

FUTURE

Are you looking for love in the Big Brother House?

I am single and I wouldn't say it's out of the question. I am very wary and I have got a high guard. I won't just jump straight into it.

What will you do to win?

I am very competitive. I'd love the money. I have played football since I was six and ever since then I have hated to lose. I'd like to think I am a born winner.

What will you do with the money if you win?

I would probably be sensible to be honest. I would definitely get a mortgage and probably a car. Then see if I can do something with the money to invest. And I'll probably go to Vegas!

Where do you see yourself in five years' time?

I like to think I am on the path of running my own business. I believe you will never be rich working for somebody else.
