Big Brother housemate Dennis McHugh demands £1000 to say sorry for spit sham

SHAMED Big Brother housemate Dennis McHugh yesterday said he would publicly apologise for spitting in Mohamed's face - but only if he gets paid.

The part-time dance teacher was back in Scotland after Channel 4 bosses booted him off the show for his vile assault.

And no sooner was McHugh, 23, home in Edinburgh than he dispatched friends to demand cash from the media.

One family friend contacted the Daily Record, trying to make a deal for an interview, and suggested we trump a downmarket English tabloid who had apparently offered Dennis £900.

She said: "He is sorry for what happened but he's not going to do anything for nothing."

The Record declined the offer.

Yesterday, a show insider said: "What Dennis did was seriously offensive. When he was evicted, the Big Brother bosses didn't allow him to do any interview with Davina McCall or any of the other shows associated with it.

"After he's back in Scotland, clearly they can't help it if he crawls out of the woodwork, but you have to say he has a brass neck asking for money after what happened.

"He's trying to drain the last dregs out of his 15 minutes of fame. It's pathetic."

Channel 4 bosses had earlier sent McHugh packing after he to spat on Mohamed's face during a booze-fuelled argument. McHugh was questioned by police under caution after his removal from the house but he was not arrested or taken to a police station.

Hertfordshire police have said no further action will be taken until they can speak to Mohamed.

Viewers will tonight see Scot Mikey take centre stage as the adviser for the latest task, titled "the blind leading the blind".

As part of the task, the housemates must work in pairs, with one member of each pair blindfolded for three hours. After three hours, housemates must swap places.
