Stuart became the ninth housemate to be evicted from the Big Brother house. The Dad of one lost out against Rachael with 59% of the public vote.

When outside, he leapt from the stage and dived into the crowd and promptly fell flat on his face as the throng parted out of his way. He managed to quickly recover and was helped back on stage by the security guards. That went well eh Stu!!

The Personal Trainer from Cheadle Hulme entered the house on 20th June and quickly made an impression, both Sylvia and Jen in particular liked what they saw. A few hours later he was sharing a bath with Sylvia and the pair talked easily, as though they had known each other for some time. Dale was immediately wary of him and quickly surmised that Big Brother had sent him to “put the cat among the pigeons” as far as he and Jen were concerned.

Stu took a little while to settle down in the house and wisely did not align himself to any one group. He remained fairly neutral and managed to blend in.

The gym fanatic was an enthusiastic participant in all of the tasks and made great efforts, however he was quickly stripped of his title as Head of House for discussing nominations.

Stu often expressed concerns about how he was perceived. He did not want people to think he only cared about his looks and appearance, yet he spent a lot of time topless, so people could not fail to see what an impressive physique he had. It takes tremendous discipline and dedication to achieve such a toned body and one can only admire it, however if he was as bothered as he says he was he should have left his clothes ON.

Many times he spoke about missing his daughter, fairly soon after entering the house, and was often close to tears. Again, he talked a lot but did not act. He could easily have walked.

Towards the end of his time in the house he became more and more confrontational and had a couple of spats with Mo and Darnell, but they quickly petered out and all was well.

Stu was happy to leave when his name was announced but was terrified at being met by a chorus of boos. Fortunately this was not the case and he received one of the best receptions yet.
