On his love for the Holy Ghost and his wife, he said: “It is the new one of the Holy Ghost I get intoxicated on. My limited of alcohol is two cans.

“I’m looking forward to seeing her [my wife] after being away from the glory. So I’m looking foward to going home!”

On his friendship with Andrew, he said: ” I could see that he was going through a real transformation. Obviously we were going through very different reasons for a transformation but I could see he was me 10 years ago so I kind of took him under my wing.”

On his time in the house he said: “I had such a good time in there. It’s amazing. In four short weeks there are so many things that I did. I’m just glad I got the chance to be there.

He added: “I knew coming in the time that I did it was going to be hard to stay in as long as I did. I’m pleased people saw something in me that made them want to keep me there.”

On his friendship with John James, he said: ” He’s the kind of guy that I would get on with if I got in the house and we struck an immediate bond.

“When you make a bond like we did it’s hard to go against your friend. A lot of the things he said and did I didn’t agree with but he’s my friend.”

JJ denied anything happened with fellow housemate Corin, stating: “People started telling me that she kind of liked me and she kind of fancied me but I didn’t know that.”

On his night in bed with Corin, he said: “It was a tickle, it’s just a tickle. Everyone has asked me but it was just a tickle.”

JJ confirmed that he wanted Josie to win, saying: “Obviously Josie. It would be a travesty if she doesn’t win. Josie has got to win!”

On whether he was intimidated by Sam Pepper, Andrew said: “A little bit because he was a massive personality. It was a bit difficult, he did get on my nerves a little bit as well. As I got to know him, he was a nice guy but it took me a while to get to know him.”

He rounded off his interview with some words on his experience, saying: “I’m completely different, a lot more sure of myself. Being in that house has completely changed me.”
