I spent a good four years writing about #BBUK for @digitalspy. Was lucky enough to interview nearly all my favourite housemates at some point. Speaking to them years after they took part was always incredibly revealing and usually quite emotional.
Been digging out some of my #bbuk highlights. One was interviewing big cheese Phil Edgar Jones, who was hilarious, honest and a TV genius. I loved his thoughts on the idea the show was fixed - something fans became obsessed by on forums.
Jungle Cat Victor was always a solid gold interview, (as long as you ran everything through a lawyer before you published!)He was very frank about the problem of returning to work after being on #BBUK
Nikki Grahame #BBUK was exactly as you would expect. There was no act. At the end of our interview she started trying to get details for Ultimate Big Brother off me because she was supposed to be taking part later that summer, but had other plans...
#bbuk is usually dubbed ‘the boring year’. Poor old Gos. But winner Cameron Stout made a decent defence of it and explained why it was a little different to the explosive S3.
Glyn from series 7 #bbuk (Cooking an egg - ah-um!) neatly summed up life in the public eye after BB.
Nasty Nick was an ‘interesting’ customer. But he was very insightful on #bbuk. Would he have been a legend in other countries rather than the villain?
Craig Phillips was a smashing bloke and a perfect series 1 winner. Even if I was more Team Anna. He was great at DIY TV and a casual name drop.
Dean from BBUK series 2 wrote a good book on the show called Living In A Box. A perfectly ordinary bloke, he wouldn’t have made it anyway near the casting for future series.
Victor on BBUK Fight Night and he still wasn’t holding back six years later.
