There's also a small article on Sandy in today's Scottish Daily Record:

NO CUMMING BACK FOR BB REBEL SANDY Aug 3 2002

BIG Brother's Scots escapee Sandy Cumming says his former pals are `grotesque'.

The former soldier refused to turn up for last Friday's final when Kate Lawler walked away with £70,000.

He's back working as a personal shopper but was out and about at the Soho Short Film Festival in London.

In his first interview since escaping over the roof on Day 20, he said: "If you look at what they're cashing in to do they are a bit grotesque. It is all so clear now why they got into the show in the first place.

"I am not going to cash in on my two weeks of celebrity. Integrity is more important to me than a few pounds in the bank. But as for the fame, you can keep it. I am very low down in the alphabet. I think I'll be known for only for the next couple of weeks. It's 14 days and counting."

Sandy also defended his decision not to go to the Big Brother final.

He added: "Everybody said I escaped and I would rather that that's how people remembered me. I think for me to go back on the final night would have seemed silly."

I am not going to cash in on my two weeks of celebrity..

Then why are you giving an interview to the press, Sandy?
