Note: This interview was sent out by Channel 5 as part of a Big Brother: Timebomb press pack.

PRESENT: Why do you want to enter the Big Brother House?

My father passed away last year and when you lose a parent it brings things home. This will be like a life coaching exercise for me. Why not do it on Big Brother? You're watched by 5 million people, that's the only problem!

FUTURE: What will you do with the money if you win?

I would like to help my mother have a better life. She has stuck up for me and fought for me.

PAST: Big Brother could make you famous. Would you welcome the attention and what has been your closest celebrity encounter?

If I can get exposure and recognition then I will love it. But if I don't get anything out of it then I still have a production company and a business. I did some stuff with Louie Spence and I've worked in panto with a few celebs but as far as I am concerned we are all celebrities!

PAST: Which former Big Brother Housemate would you say you were most like and why?

I thought Helen Wood was an interesting winner. I don't know how we would get on because I am strong minded as well. They pick some fantastic characters, but this one will be one to remember!

PRESENT: Which traits do you find most annoying in my Housemate?

I find youngsters today nice but they don't have the manners that I did when I was brought up. I will tell them and hopefully educate them and they can educate me!

FUTURE: Are you looking for love in the Big Brother House?

I am in a relationship but my partner does not want anything to do with this!

FUTURE: What will you do to win?

I have had to fight all my life from being bullied at school because I was different so it has made me more determined to succeed. I am just going to be myself and get along with everybody fantastically.

PAST: What story from your past will you use to break the ice?

I will walk down the stairs and say, 'Don't even say it I am not Louie Spence!' That is probably what I will say because that is what everyone has been saying to me!

PRESENT: What do you love most in the world and what will you miss?

I love my home, my gym, my car, my clothes, my family, my partner. I love everything! It's really hard but I have been given an opportunity which many would love to do and I am going to enjoy it.

PAST: What has been your greatest achievement?

I formed my own company and we're fairly successful. I have managed to make something of my life but I am not a bragger.

FUTURE: Where would you like to be in five years' time?

A household name, darling! I would love to work in show business in theatre or TV. I do a lot of work for the elderly so it would be nice to do something with a charity. If the worst comes to the worst I will get a job cleaning!

Big Brother: Timebomb launches tonight, Tuesday May 12, at 9pm on Channel 5.
