Continuing the introduction of the housemates entering the seventh series
of reality TV show Big Brother, here are four of the seven men prepared
to miss this summer‟s World Cup to try and last 13 weeks in the UK‟s most
intense goldfish bowl environment.
Pete BENNETT
Age: 24. From: London. Occupation: Unemployed.
Pete is a budding rock „n‟ roll singer and cartoonist now living in
Brighton. He was diagnosed with Tourette‟s Syndrome at the age of 14,
started wearing women‟s clothes aged 16 and impersonated Freddie Mercury
at his mother‟s wedding. When asked why he wanted to participate on Big
Brother he replied: “to reach the top of my spiral to heaven and shine
again. Also, if I was to win the money I would like to pay off my mum‟s
mortgage so she can finally live her life because she looked after me for
so long. And I crave fame and would like to be a famous Touretter”. Pete
lives alone except for a pet hamster called Magic, who roams freely
around his house and lives in the wall.
Shabaz CHAUDRY
Age: 37. From: Glasgow. Occupation: Unemployed.
Shabaz is single and has been “unemployable” for the last 21 years,
although has done a lot of voluntary care work since he was 16, helping
the disabled and people with special needs in his local community. He
admits that he has never been in love and has never had a boyfriend as he
thinks men are afraid of his flamboyant personality. When asked why he
wanted to be on Big Brother he replied: “because I‟ve never had the
flatmate or housemate experience as I‟ve lived by myself for nearly 21
years and I want to challenge myself”. He claims he has a phobia of
straight-acting homophobic homosexuals and would like to be reincarnated
as a woman so that he can have children.
Richard NEWMAN
Age: 33. From: Canada. Occupation: Waiter.
Richard is single, lives in London and describes himself as a “sexual,
passionate and hostile man hunter”. He loves going out all night in Soho
and making conquests, but equally enjoys dinner parties and the theatre.
When asked why he wanted to go on Big Brother, he replied simply: “just
for the money”. He says the person he would least like to find in the
house is a woman who is eight months pregnant. He has a strong fear of
them and even fears being interviewed by Davina McCall when he leaves the
house. Sexism, racism and men who turn down his advances make him angry
and if he could pass any law it would be that all straight men must have
a homosexual encounter.
Glyn WISE
Age:18. From: Blaenau Ffestiniog. Occupation: Part-time lifeguard / Head
boy in 6th Form.
Glyn is the youngest member of the Big Brother house and is looking
forward to receiving nationwide attention and being able to show off his
“sexy body to millions”.
He is fiercely proud of his Welsh heritage and feels that all Welsh
people should speak the language. Glyn aspires to be the first male Page
3 model and is content with his life and body he would like to be
reincarnated as himself, declaring: “I am the closest example to
perfection”. However, he doesn't get on well with members of the animal
kingdom, claiming: “I hate all animals and they hate me”.
