Nick Bateman has revealed why he pulled out of appearing on Big Brother 10.

The former contestant was due to appear in the house today as part of the reality show's tenth birthday celebrations.

He told Heat: "When I agreed to take part, no-one would tell me which task I would be involved in. Probably because they knew I'd say 'no' straight away. They were very mysterious about it.

"When I found out it was going to be a repeat of the assault course from series one, I just knew they were hoping I'd make a complete fool of myself again."

He continued: "I'm up for having fun - otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to take part in the first place – but I'm eight years older and a few pounds heavier than my first time on Big Brother, so I when I found out what the task was going to be I decided it wasn't for me.

"It's a shame because I was really looking forward to being part of their tenth birthday celebrations."

‘Nasty’ Nick has been replaced by Big Brother 1 winner Craig Phillips.
