GRUMPY guts Big Brother runner-up Jason Cowan snubbed his old housemates yesterday — when he refused to join them for a farewell barbecue.

The surly Scot muscleman left his hotel at 9.30am and flew home to Glasgow.

He was the only one to miss the party at the house in Elstree, Herts.

BB’s Little Brother presenter Dermot O’Leary said: “There they are, all the housemates, apart from Jason.

“He’s spending some much needed time with family and friends.”

Self-proclaimed “Jungle Cat” Jason, 30, constantly bitched and schemed on the Channel 4 show.

Gay hairdresser Dan branded him the “misery from hell”.

Jason got so depressed when pal Victor left, he spent most of his time in bed.

But after losing out to Nadia, he claimed he was NOT moody.

He whinged: “I was Funtime Frankie.”

A BB insider said last night: “Some people can handle all this publicity but Jason couldn’t.”
