What are you looking forward to the most about being in Celebrity Big Brother?

"I'm 53 and I've spent 53 years with myself, so I think I know myself pretty well. But I reckon I'm going to learn stuff about myself. If you can reach your mid 50s and there's potential to do that, then that's really exciting. And I think I'll learn some stuff about other celebrities that I didn't know as well – so that's interesting. Oh and Tuesday night is the night we put the bins out so I'm looking forward to not doing that."
