What made you sign up?
It's a challenge and I like challenges. I'll try to win this thing! I'm in it to stay as long as they do what they do. I don't have any control over that anyway. That's what I said when I said yes - trying to go the whole hog.

Why do you think you've been so popular in the UK?
Britain pretty much told the rest of the world who Alexander O'Neal was before anybody really knew. It's been great for almost 30 years. It's a wonderful relationship and so far so good.

Will you sing around the House?
I doubt it. I don't sing around my house so I know I won't be singing around the Big Brother House! If people ask me to sing, I brought my band with me - I've got them in my suitcase.

What would you like to get out of the experience personally?
It's a test for me, and a test of my patience. Patience is not a friend of mine! It's the challenge of doing something so different because Big Brother is everything that Alexander O'Neal is not. I'm a very private person. I don't hang out with people. I'm never around people. Not like this. When I'm on my own time it's just my wife and me. So this is going to be very different!

Do you have any bad habits that might annoy others?
I don't give a damn. I really don't. I'm here to govern me. I can't tell what irritates other people. What would you like the reaction to be when you leave? I'm hoping it will be, 'Well done Alex'. That's my goal. I know I am a good person and a kind person. I know I can handle situations with other people whether it's controversy or something positive. So that is my goal, to come out and for people to get a little more insight into Alexander O'Neal. But I've got to be straight with you and that is pretty much what you're going to get from Alex all day, every day.

So will you step in if someone is being picked on?
I'd probably say you're a grown up, you can handle that! Handle your business, man! I'm not trying to do all that. And we don't need all that drama. I'm not here to be a bad man, but I'm not here to be this older wiser guy who's got advice. I'm trying to find out what I want to be when I grow up and I'm 61. I've got my own stuff to deal with and I'm trying to focus on that.
