IT would be a brave man who would bet against Big Brother's Jason Cowan achieving his ambition of becoming famous. The big man was our guest on Off The Ball over the weekend (I think the show was billed in the Radio Times as a 'Motherwell hunks special') and he immediately came across as a totally decent, down-to-earth bloke.

Don't get me wrong, I'm probably biased. Not only is he the second-most famous person from my home town (relax, I'm talking about wee Neil Reid who won Opportunity Knocks in 1971 with Mother Of Mine), but he was also very complimentary about yours truly's weight loss.

'You look terrific,' he said as we shook hands.

'Cheers, mate,' I replied, 'I've lost five stones.'

'Wow, that's three more than Nadia.' How can you not like a man with patter like that?

Jason would-be the first to admit he's incredibly vain (I can't recall another guest wearing make-up and shaving their buttocks for the radio show - okay, apart from David McLetchie) but the Big Brother runner-up is also refreshingly honest and he's kept both feet firmly on the floor.

What does the future hold? 'Well, I reckon I've got 10 minutes of fame remaining,' he conceded, 'as I've already used up five. All I want to do is make as much money as possible and open my own health club or gym.'

Having previously had jobs where he was picking up less than £200 a week, he can currently pocket £1,500 for a personal appearance at a night club. And all he has to do is accept free drinks and get chatted upby young busty babes.

It's a tough life, eh? Jason also recently offered celebrities the chance to cut his hair for £300 (I would hazard a guess that only David Blunkett took him up on the challenge) but that health club would have been opened by now if he had picked up the Channel Four reality show's £100,000 jackpot.

And once it boiled down to the last three contestants, Jason reckons he should have won by a canter.

'I blew the other two out of the water,' he said. It sounds like one of the bits the cameras couldn't broadcast...

He also told us a few secrets from the house - - Marco was gay, apparently - and explained how Victor continually slagged Scottish football, claiming even he could score 30 goals a season in the SPL.

Two minutes later, Off The Ball received a call from a Mr McLeish in Govan.

At one point on the programme, I tried to persuade Jason to reveal that he wasn't really from Motherwell after all.Well, imagine my embarrassment when I came across his questionnaire on the Big Brother official website.

Name your favourite book? FHM. Which item of clothing couldn't you live without? Moisturiser.

A generous donation towards your health club, mate, if you promise to start telling the world that you really come from Airdrie.

By the way, Jason assured us he's definitely not bisexual.That was only to make him stand out at the auditions.

Ditto the famous bow tie and leopardskin thong, which I'm delighted to say he donated to us to help raise funds for Children In Need.

Well done, mate. I wonder if Nadia will now beup for auctioning off her old cojones?

Oh dear.

For the final time I hope - you were nowhere mate. You have the personality of an ameoba, the hair of a soon to be bald coconut, and the face of a ferret. You body is hideously overdeveloped and is a complete turnoff.


Apart from that, I'm sure you are a very nice bloke!

NOW GET OVER YOURSELF!!
