Biography[]
Brian is an avid follower of Cosmic Ordering and enjoys the books of Paul McKenna, from which he claims have learned the secrets of self-hypnosis. He recently snuck off to Amsterdam on a lads' holiday - his first time on a plane.
Brian fears he might be nominated for always wanting things to be his way...but thinks that nine times out of ten he is right. His mum says he will throw tantrums if he doesn't get his own way. Brian is scared of animals, has every episode of Big Brother stashed under his bed and admires Mike Skinner and Holly Valance in equal measure. He says he would least like to be in the house with "people who are too in-your-face".[1]
