Nick: 'Nasty nickname changed my life'

Ultimate Big Brother: Nick on Day 1



Victor probed Nick about the impact that his appearance on the first series of Big Brother had made on his life last night.

"Have you enjoyed being the only ever contestant with a moniker?" asked an inquisitive Victor, as the duo sat chatting in the nest once the other housemates were in bed.

After pausing to carefully consider his answer, Nick replied: "It's been funny."

"You've had this whole character built around you," continued the self-styled 'slick man'. "Whether it's true or if it's false, there's this whole thing. You just have to say 'Nasty Nick' and everyone knows who you are."

Nick admitted: "I think it's both hindered and helped. Hindered because people think that Big Brother people are idiots who can't read or write or spell or punctuate, and also, it tags you with this show."

Victor was quick to point out the positives, however. "Weren't you given a Ferrari to drive around in when you left the show?" he quizzed.

"What, is this an interview now?" laughed Nick, before revealing that he was given the sports car for 2 months following his exit.

"Fuck! Do you know how cool that is!" exclaimed Victor. "You must have come out and thought, 'Oh it's doom and gloom, I'm Britain's most hated man' - but you were probably the biggest deal in the country. You could have walked in anywhere and had any chick."

He added: "I remember opening the paper and seeing you with Brad Pitt, and thinking, 'What is going on in this man's life!'"
