Proof that Big Brother doesn’t run thorough psychological checks on contestants allowed the joy that was Shahbaz into the house last year.

His entrance to the sounds of Girls Aloud 'Biology' was quite fitting – God knows what he is made up of… He claims in his audition tape, he could spontaneously combust on TV – if only he had. The 'gay muslim who assured us he wasn't a terrorist' also CLAIMED to be intelligent, but unemployable. Hm.

The larger than life character made Big Brother TV gold with his trademark ‘Lorraine Kelly-like’, ‘Oh Helllllllllllooooooooooo…’ and his incessant tears and instability. He was the character, who for his short time in the house (6 days), the nation loved to hate.

He was his own worst enemy though - turning the whole house against him through his constant stream of arguments, self pity and constant breakdowns live on national TV. And who can forget (well actually I had…) when he hid the house’s food.

Although probably one of the most irritating people on the show, he did make entertaining viewing. It emerged after he left that show that he admitted he understated his mental condition!

What does the world hold for Shahbaz since leaving the house?

Well, he has appeared on Channel 4’s The Friday Night Project usually during Big Brother comedy sketches. And, he is currently presenting on Big Brother’s Little Brother as their Scottish roving (raving mad) reporter in ‘The B Team’ (with Nikki, Glynn and Spiral)

Prior to Big Brother he had been unemployed for 21 years so the future’s bright…

What’s next? God only knows. He probably doesn’t know…
