I found this interview and i was bored so i typed it up, soz if it has already been put up on the forum, it doesnt reveal anything we dont know but hey. Sorry for all the typos and grammer mistakes!

The life of Brian

How popular were you at school?

I was quite popular-I was the funny one who made all the girls laugh and left the guys wondering what I had that they didnt!

Where you a ladies' man then?

Oh god no! I've never had a girlfriend or slept with a girl-I've never been close!

So did you always know you were gay?

Not at all!! I was 16 when i realised i fancied a guy in the football team- but he'll remain nameless

When did you first snog a lad?

I was 20 and working as a holiday rep in Majorca. I met this guy, we snogged and went out for a year.

Is that when you came out?

No. I didnt tell mum and dad until just before i went into the Big Brother house, I phoned them on tuesday and then i went in on friday

Wow! How did they take the news?

Mum asked if i was trying to be fashionable so i said "Mum if i was trying to be fashionable id buy a designer sweater!" she cried and said "we'll stand by you"

Are you relieved to have finally come out?

Yeh its a huge relief, i can go home and be myself, without worrying something will come out.

Were you always desperate for fame?

What a horrid question! I never went on Big Brother to be a star, I only entered for the experience.

What was the best thing about Big Brother?

Meeting people and not judging them. Getting to know them and getting to know myself. I even got used to being filmed when i was in the shower and on the loo- well, everyone's got a bum!

How did you feel when Josh arrived?

I looked at him and thought "Why cant i be like that?" As soon as he admitted he was gay all attention turned on me. People wanted to see hoow i would react.

Hmmm, you did react pretty badly...

That arguement happened on my birthday when i was missing my friends and family. I think Big Brother hoped we'd get it on together but it was never going to happen-and never will.

Were you confident about winning?

No way! every week, i expected to be nominated. Dean and i were the only two house-mates not to be put up for the public vote/

So how did it feel when Davina said you'd won?

It's like i hit my head, 'cause i cant remember anything about it. Narinda and I watched the final night on video the other night, but i dont recall leaving the house.

Do you still see your ex-bb housemates?

I see Narinda all the time and we call each other two or three times a day. I speak to Bubble, Helen and Penny a lot too- they'll all be friends for life.

And Josh?

We talk to each other at functions but we dont call each other up for a gossip. I dont dislike the guy, I just dont know him. We were never given the opportunity to get to know each other.

Why did you dissapear after leaving the show?

I had no idea what was going on when i left the Big Brother house. I walked down the street and i was mobbed. It was Phenomenal. People were blowing their horns and getting out of their cars! I went from being an air steward to being a celebrity and i think i just needed some time to breathe.

But did you go on a massive spending spree?

I have spent some of my £70,000 prize money and my taste in clothes has changed, but i still love shopping in top shop!

So what's been your most expensive purchase so far?

I spent £4,000 in one day, which was totally mad and ive also bought a cashmere jumper from Gucci- and that cost £900. Ive only worn it once-On so Graham Norton- and i lied to my mum and told her it only cost £200!

Is SM:TV your dream job?

When i heard James was taking over from Ant and Dec, i thought the position had been filled. I was over the moon when the producers said four of us could do the show.

It must be hard living up to Ant and Decs reputation...

It is. Ant and Dec are huge but i dont think the producers want it to be the same show. There are four of us now.

Is there any rivalry between you and James Redmond?

Not at all. James is a really nice guy and we get on very well. At the end of the day Cat and James front the show, not me

So how come you bagged the interview with Britney?

Because I'm a Britney fan and im really nosy. Britney's really sweet and normal. I gave her a peck on the cheek! she's fab!

What other tv would you like to do?

Id love my own show, Maybe a chat show or something like Streetmate that Davina presents. But for the moment, Im really happy doing what i do on SM:TV

Have you had a boyfriend since big brother?

No, I was single before i went on the show and ive been single ever since. Id love to be in a relationship, but i would have to be with a guy who i really really loved- someone id look at and think "phwoar!"

But you must get more attention from guys these days...

Guys look at me but i dont know if that's because they recognise me or because they think im an idiot!!

When you meet someone you love will you take him to meet your parents?

Of course, absolutely. It'll be hard knowing whether someone likes me for my celebrity status, but i guess i'll trust my heart.

And which celebs do you find attractive?

Will from Pop idol is really cute and the Boys from blue are very sexy-but very straight!

And how do girls respond to you?

Its weird 'cause i get a lot of attention. But im sick of being called cut- i want to be sexy and raw!

How have you helped gay teenagers?

Ive helped a bit but im not a role model. Im 23, I havent had a lot of life experience, but i do what i can.

Why do you think people have taken you to their hearts?

I think its because I come across as being non sexual and non threatening. Straight people say "Hes gay but he makes me laugh" Im always the clown.
