[Hooly One]

Stuart has been mourning the loss of his cowboy hat, but telling Big Brother how the lows he's reached are driving him to new highs.

"The past couple of days I've been through a bit of a struggle," he said this morning. Not only has he lost his hat and his Jonny Horizontal alter ego, he's also discovered the microphone under his bed, listening in on his late night whispers with Michelle.

"I've hit the sling shot low," he told Big Brother, before explaining, "You come down as far as the sling shot will go. It's full of energy but that's when the ball bearing flies up. I've found a renewed strength from the fact I've experienced the sling shot low. I feel fantastic."

Stuart revealed his positive outlook took a temporary dent, but now he's back with a smile on his face. "I shall not falter from this new sling shot directed path," he said, struggling to find the words to express himself.

Up close and personal


The loss of privacy that comes with being in the Big Brother House continues to trouble Stu by the sound of it. Particularly when it comes to his close relationship with Michelle.

"I can't talk about feelings," he said. "There are things I want to say to her and nobody else."

Stuart went on to say he expected his relationship with Michelle to continue outside and that he was looking forward to seeing her without being watched.

When pressed on what he'd like to say to her, he was characteristically unspecific.

"...things you would say to your girl."

Thanks for clearing that up, Stu...
