Patience everything comes to those who wait.

Including death.

I can only assume C5 have shown an interest in this project otherwise Dan would not have done it, It just depends on how good the pilot is.

It took him 3 days to talk,not exactly confident is it

It is a good picture

Oo ok

how many reports of this evening are there and is there any way we can get them in 1 thread.I would love to read them all...but dont have the patience to go trough 100's of pages on 3 possible threads to find them all

Here is the first report.



By Thrombin.


Okay, here's part one. Note, I may have got a few words wrong as some of them were bit hard to hear!

Nicki: First question is “Have you watched much of Big Brother back yet?”

Faye: We’ve watched the first week back. Which is a but – umm – awkward! Because we didn’t really talk to each other the first week.

Nicki: Did you cringe?

Faye: Not really no.

N: Was there anything that you think was really badly edited?

Aaron: What in the first week? Because we’d seen about 7 to 10 days but I ... and I was surprised how much I was involved actually because I thought I was much more laid back but, yeah, no I thought it was fair, so far.

N. Right this question’s from Mark and he says “What was your favourite moment whilst on holiday in Euro Disney?

< long pause>

N: Stumped.

A: It was really nice and it was nice getting away and it was Disney but it was freezing cold and we had my boy with us, he was grumpy at certain things. Also um... yeah, it was just nice doing something different.

F: My highlight, I made Aaron wear some Mickey mouse ears. He loves it!

N: And in addition to that, what’s been the highlight of your post Big Brother life. Any good experiences?

A: <hesitates>

F: It all went down hill from there! (laughs)

F: I don’t know, it’s all been a bit surreal. We haven’t gone back to normal life and it’s really bizarre how different the week is from start to finish. It differs quite a lot, doesn’t it?

A: Yeah. Uh, I don’t know. It’s been, as Faye says, it feels like it’s been a constant since we’ve been in there. I can’t believe it’s three months away. I think, oddly, for me the highlight was getting out and finding the support that I had. Because I had come out getting booed and then, coming out, I was a little bit down at first and then Mark had said get online, which I did, and that, for me, was the real highlight because it made me feel like I’d won for the first time...

(cheers from the audience, Faye reaches out and touches his cheek)

N: There’s a few from digitalspy here, actually. Do you read the forums much?

A: Oh yeah, yeah.

(a few embarrassed giggles from the audience – Aaron goes bashful)

N: Right, this is from Sarah, and she says, in the house everyone seemed to have an opinion on your relationship and you had quite a few hurdles to overcome. Has that made you stronger as a couple?

F: I think it gets stronger all the time as we go on but I don’t think it really affected us in the house anyway because we knew how we felt for one another and we were so, like, enjoying one another’s company that it didn’t really bother us.

A: It became quite apparent, I think, us in there that people were noticing because we were the first couple kissing around the house – not just in the bedroom sort of thing.

N: As they’ve just seen. They’ve just been watching the DVD too up there!

F: Awkward!

A: But all of that just seemed normal. It just felt like we were at home, that’s where we lived and we were a couple and it was just normal there was no kind of plans or anything but I think it was roughly on purpose with people like Jay and Louise and Tom and Alex.

(booing from the audience)

A: Because I think they realized we were getting a lot of attention because of that. But we kept saying they’ll all get bored of just showing us just kissing because they’ll do it once or twice and nobody’ll care. We didn’t realize there’d be this whole montage.

(laughs from the crowd)

N: Right, this is from the twins, Kat and Clare. It says, “Hi poppet, if you wanted to buy us a drink what would it be?”

A: well, I drink disarrano and Coke so umm...

N: If anyone wants to buy Aaron and Faye a drink, go for it, it saves my expenses!

N: Right, there’s a question from Kerry which I really can’t ask. Where’s Kerry? Ask him later!

N: What is the strangest question that you’ve been asked since leaving the Big Brother house?

A: Umm. Ooh, I don’t know.

N: It was all quite tedious and the same questions. Like tonight.

A: No, this is, much more varied. I mean we do get a lot of repetition...

F: We had a lot of questions about Frosted Flakes.

(laughs)

N: This is from Sarah, she’s on Twitter. I think she’s set up a fan page for you. She says, was it easy to adjust back to real life since you left the house. Is it still weird to be stopped out in public and how do your friends and family react to that if they’re with you?

A: Um, yeah, I don’t feel I’ve adjusted to real life yet. It’s, perhaps because obviously I’m in a relationship with Faye, it just feels like it’s been a continuation of, like, time and, we’re having a great time,and, you know, trying to work hard with things and so adjusting has been difficult for me, but friends and family: some friends have been a bit weird kind of thing but Mum, bless her, we went to Asda and, when I was coming out, somebody stopped me for a photo and then this little queue started forming and my Mum just got a cup of tea and sat in the cafe watching and I was just thinking Mum rescue me! It took about 35 minutes to get out. It’s crazy.

Part Two:

N: On a scale of 1 to 10, Aaron, how excited are you to get a video message from Alex Sibley yesterday?

(Audience laughs. Aaron buries his head in his hand)

F: He was jumping up and down in the room, basically!

N: And following on from that this is from Gina who's also here. Where’s Gina? She’s very shy. (Faye waves to her). She says, aside from your own series and each other what has been your favourite series and who’s been your favourite housemate?

(crowd shout “three”)

A: Three or five, for me, actually. I did like five, it was quite interesting. My favourite housemate used to be Brian Dowling.

(crowd jeer and shout no)

N: He gave you a snog on finale night.

A: Yeah, I know.

(Crowd shout Alex)

A: Yeah, maybe Alex,

F: Kate Lawler was my favourite. I just thought she was really down to earth and quite amusing and she was a bit of a Tomboy always up for a laugh and she brought a lot of fun into the house and that series was actually really good.

N: This is from Mark. This for Faye. We saw you chasing Aaron around the garden with a bucket full of water. Since leaving the house, what has Aaron done to result in you chasing around your new home.

F: He keeps hacking into my Twitter and Facebook.

N: You mean that’s not you who keeps posting?

F: No it’s nothing to do about cold peppers or anything like that, no.

N: This is from somebody on Digitalspy, Anne. It says do you have any plans or ideas with regards to what work you want to do, individually or together, in the future?

A: Yeah, I’ve got ideas of what I want to do and there are things that are happening that I’m not allowed to say much about.

(boos from the audience)

N: Don’t boo him again!

A: But yeah, we do want to do something together. There’s something being worked on and there’s other things that we’re both working on individually as well. Which is not really giving anything away really is it? Sorry! Boring!

N: Not really.

A: Hopefully... hopefully next week we’ll be able to give you some news.

N: Any plans to get back into wrestling.

F: It’s a possibility. But that’s something else I’ve got to keep schtum about.

N: Right. This is from Elliot from digitalspy. Bit of a controversial one. Did anyone from Big Brother secretly direct any of the housemates during the series? He did put *cough* Jay and Lou *cough*.

A: What do you mean by direct?

N: As in give them instructions to how to come across well or what to do to get air time.

F: When we went in?

N: Or while you were in the house.

A: To be honest, I doubt it. I’d be really shocked if they did it. I’d be really shocked if Jay and Louise could follow instructions.

(audience laughs)

F: I don’t know.

N: Also from Elliot. He says, before going into the house you were both big fans of the show has this changed now that you’ve been through the process?

F: I think we’ll both always be Big Brother fans but I think it will be very strange to watch the normal Big Brother in, I think it’s May or June, because we’ve done it now. For so long it’s been part of my life wanting to do it, wanting to do it, and I feel it’s a bit strange now. It feels strange watching. We caught a few episodes of the Celebrity one and it was really bizarre seeing people in like the beds and everything in our house. Really weird.

N: You were down to the final, was it 81, for Big Brother 10. You were on the launch show. Did you know that you were stood next to Mark the whole time?

F: Yes, I know, when I saw it I was like “oh Mark!” and he said “you’re right”.

N: I’ve been to the house, actually, as well. Me and Laura went there a few years ago. We were surprised at how it ruined our illusions of it and how none of the rooms appeared like where they appeared on the TV.

F: I remember thinking, the first thing when I walked through the doors was my gosh it’s really small because it looked massive on TV. You go in and it’s really small.

N: Right this is from Nicki from Staffordshire. That’s me by the way. To Faye. As a fellow Staffordshire girl was it quite an easy decision to move from here down to Weston Super Mare.

F: Yeah, there was never any issue in my mind not to do it. You know, Aaron is my everything so, there you go.

(Aah’s from the audience)

F: Yeah, so there was never any doubt in my mind and I was just looking forward to starting our new beginning really on the outside.

N: Do you feel at home here now?

F: Yeah definitely. And everyone’s been really friendly there.

N: Did you discuss living together while you were in the house?

F: (looks at Aaron) umm?

A: I said no way, didn’t we? We came out and I was like “Come and Live with me”

F: And I was like “yeah!” (pumps hand in the air)

F: Good times (she puts her hand on Aaron’s knee).

N: The sofa’s delivered and it’s all good. You’ve got somewhere to sit.

F: Yeah, we’ve got the sofa, the dining room table. The lounge is all done but we still don’t have any chest of drawer so feels like we’re still in big brother because we’re living out of a suitcase still! Apart from that, everything’s good and it feels home to live there now.

N: This is to both of you. Who are your favourite wrestlers?

F: Mine’s Shaun Michaels he’s the expert. And Randy Orton as well.

N: Are you getting into wrestling Aaron or not really?

A: I used to really like wrestling when I was younger and Faye and Tom made me watch it last week and I uh...

Faye: Hulk Hogan

Aaron: ...but I’d say probably Hulk Hogan was still my favourite.

Faye: Jemma Palmer

Aaron: yeah...

(laughs)

N: This is from Dave. What is your opinion of Pete Burns?
(boos)

(someone shouts w**ker)

N: rant away

A: Yeah. Obviously on that final night and he um asked me... he said to me, were you bullied as a child did you not get enough attention from your parents. It was kind of live and I didn’t know what was going on it got a bit weird and people’ve been saying to me that he’d been saying bad things about me on Bit on the Side and this and I’d never seen, we didn’t have a chance, until that night I was on Bit on the Side for Celebrity Big Brother and he came to the green room and he was really really friendly and said “I really liked you throughout the series, I wanted you to win, they were telling me to say bad things about you”. I said I don’t know what to believe here really. He seemed ok at the end of the day so I left him alone.

N: Do we agree?

A: He’s quite scary. When you’re up close...

N: I can imagine.

Last part:

N: This next one’s from Pam who’s here tonight. It says she’d never really travel or attend events such as this but that you two remind her that there are good people in the world with principles and morals. How does it feel to have an effect on people’s lives like that?

F: Yeah it’s nice to know there’s still people out there with morals and stuff so yeah, it’s really nice to hear.

(applause)

A: For me, the question is... Like when I was in the house I had quite big issues with a way a lot of them were conducting themselves and how they were...

F: A lot

A: and for me I kind of, although I created a lot of enemies, I just thought I want to stick to my morals and principals and, coming out, so many people have come up to me and said “that’s why I voted for you because you stuck to it all the way through”.

N: This is from Philip and he says, Faye, which of your accents and impressions went down best in the house?

F: Umm...

A: Did any of them?

F: Oh, shut up! (laughs) I don’t know about that.

N: The next bit of the question was, Aaron, which was your personal favourite?

F: Mine was the one off, was it Sesame Street? Or the Muppets? It was “Hey Burt?” (doing the voice)

(someone shouts “Ernie”)

N: A lot of them didn’t get shown actually. I think they could have shown a lot more than they did.

F: Actually, no, you know what mine was, me and Tom re-enacted it the other day. (Essex accent?) “This is drama sit sous chef” (??). They showed it on the highlights though, they didn’t show it on the show. It was really disappointing that. He [Aaron] was so happy that day.

N: It’s on youtube though.

F: Yeah, it is on youtube.

N: Right, last question, this is to both of you, “what was your first impressions of each other and what has changed since then?”

(Aaron is lost for words, lots of laughing)

A: Well, at the time, not like I was like, looking, or sort of fishing, but I remember thinking there wasn’t any girls I found attractive really, at the time, because it went Maisy and Heaven and Tashie and then, um, Alex and Rebeckah and then, Faye came down and I thought, alright, that’s ok, I quite like her. So I thought I really want to go and make a good impression though because I hadn’t really rushed up to meet anybody else and, obviously, everybody knows what happened but...

(crowd laughs)

N: What was the comment you made to her? The first thing you ever said?

A: I said, “are your toes always green?”

N: Wow. What a chat up line!

A: Well, it worked didn’t it?

F: Um, I thought he looked rather suave. Rather attractive. A handsome prince when I saw him and then, unfortunately, he opened his mouth.

(laughter)

F: and said the green toe comment and then that week was just a disaster. But from then on I thought “yeah, he’s alright. He’s alright” (she pinches Aaron’s cheek).

F: I think one of my first comments with Aaron was with the line “oh, you know you could fall in love with me”. Because I was rather drunk. Yes, it’s a bit awkward watching it back. But he actually turned out to be a really nice, funny, guy, but he’s one of those people you need to really get to know because, um, this cardigan is really embarrassing.

(laughter)

N: Planning on watching the rest of it, or... ?

F: Definitely

A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s being downloaded now. I’m really excited to see it.

F: There might be a few episodes we skip because we’re scared.

N: Friends and Family nominations?

F: Maybe, yeah. I think I’m going to love watching that episode.

A: That day, I was really, really happy because my brother came on first - I assume they showed it in the right order – and he came on and voted for people I wanted him to. Sorry, [to Faye] I know one of them was your sister. But I was thinking that’s where I would have gone and then, it just went downhill for five minutes.

F: I think it was quite, I dunno, hard for us, because we were really happy on one hand because we were speaking to our families but, on the other hand, obviously, it was in their hands who they nominated. Because, that day, I think, we’d had a conversation and we just gathered from each other without saying anything really who we thought was going to be up and, obviously, when we had the friends and family do it, it completely changed who was up for nomination that week.

N: A lot of people really felt for you that week . I know how I would’ve felt in that position.

F: Yeah.

Here is the 2nd.

by Scottish Sue


It was superb - I am really glad I went and I have to give massive thanks to ucra girl for encouraging me and giving me that push to go - it certainly beat a weekend at work hands down, haha!!

Ok so I had just started to chat to them both and got a pic, when Faye was pulled away to go dance to Steps, but as she went she told me she would find me later to carry on the chat

As she left, Aaron was needing another drink and coincidently so was I so we moved over to the bar, but amazingly no one followed us lol! Hubby had to go downstairs to get my drink so there I was alone with Aaron, apart from the bar staff!

We chatted a little about BB and a bit about football and it was really chilled and relaxed. He asked me if I thought it had been a good series and I said I did, tho I forgot to say that there were bits I didn't like. I told him that we were all determined to get him the win thanks to all the negativity on BOTS etc and that we were very proud we did.

I asked him if he had felt strange going on BOTS recently after what Pete Burns had asked him on final night. Apparently he was really nice to him backstage, which we both said was very two faced.

We then chatted about football for a bit again, my hubby returned and not long after, Nicki came to grab him for something so we ended it there with a photo

Faye then appeared, without shoes as her feet were sore lol and no wonder as those heels were HUGE!!!! Funnily enough I felt more nervous talking to her than Aaron, but then I didn't have my football fall back to lean on lol. It was really good tho.

We chatted about a few things - her being bullied at school etc and loving sport and some BB stuff that I cant really remember what we were saying, but I told her to check out the "Aaron is an enigma" clip on You Tube as that was the first time we really saw them interact.

I asked her about the date and her choice between Aaron and Jay and she mistook my question to be along the lines of why she had liked Jay to start with. I managed to save it tho as it was her choice between who was the fun and who was the serious options that we wondered on here that I was after. She said it was Aaron who was the serious choice and we both agreed and laughed that thank goodness she didn't choose Jay, hahaha

I told her I was gutted when she was voted out and that when she came out, how fantastic she had been as they had portrayed her completely differently in the house - she told me she was just sure - he was her man and that was it kind of thing (I cant remember the exact words lol)

I then told her about the F & F and how as Aaron and Faye fans it was very difficult to watch, but if you took the emotion out of it and watched it purely as a BB fan, it was a fantastic episode. They have still to watch it, so no idea what they will think seeing it again. I forgot to mention how great we all thought the hug at the end was and how some of us were moved to tears at that point!

As we were chatting, she was needed for pics with Aaron under the wall showing clips of them. I got a pic with her and she then joined him for the photos.

Oh during our chat, she was noticing stuff on the big screen and laughing - she said that it was great / funny that they could look back on the start of their relationship at any time as it was filmed and commented at one point "when you see that, how can anyone think we are/were fake?", which I told her I didn't know of course as I always thought they were real.

What was lovely with them both was that neither was chomping at the bit to move on or anything - it was only when they were needed elsewhere that our chats ended.

The rest of the night was general chit chat with other guests and we all just kind of hung about etc - at this point I was mainly chatting with psychmed and ucra girl and we had great fun!

A lot of folk left to go to home and to their hotels so a wee group of us were left with them both chatting away to seperate groups.

It ended with a few more pics, autographs being signed, Faye being tired and me being lucky enough to get hugs from both of them. I also managed to get Faye to do her Scottish accent and it was pretty good lol

Saw them at breakfast and said hello and spoke about how we hoped psychmed got home after I left her at 4am

Oh and I won a prize in the raffle, which was fab as it was a prize from Faaron and Faye herself picked one of my tickets completely at random from those left after the rest of the prizes had been won

It really was a fantastic night and well worth the tramp through the snow to get there.

Here is the 3rd.

psychmed

Well here goes.

Arrived at the Crowne Plaza on Friday and Holy Mackeral it was freezing I had a really chilled afternoon watched 2 Corrie's and decided to get an early night ready for the excitement. Up at 7.30 am. Velcros in trying to look presentable, it didnt work I now know you really cant make a silk purse out of a sow's ear

Met up with 2 of the girls Suzy and Barb from the Aaron WonBB Facebook site. That was really nice They are all so much fun. They went off to the Thistle Hotel to get ready.

Aaron and Faye were due to arrive at 4.00 pm. but got held up by the bad weather. Nicki and co arrived and did a great job of decorating the room and making it look very special. I sat in Reception like a stalker waiting for Aaron and Faye to arrive Due to the delays, I missed the grand entrance so made my way up to the venue. There were about 60 of us in total. It was great to have so few of us because it really did mean you could see and hear everything, and of course more chat time with Aaron and Faye.

I sat on a table with Mabbus-cattus (she reminded me we had crossed paths in the past:eek..I was a Chanelle supporter and she was a Ziggy supporter. All water under the bridge now and so nice to meet with her} Twizzy was also on our table and a 3 or 4 other people. To be honest I didnt sit for long. The snow was falling very heavily and I had visions of being stuck in Birmingham for weeks I had the Hotel checking the flight cancellations and at one point they closed Birmingham Airport and I was all set to share a room with Aaron and Faye I spent a lot of time with Scottish Sue and we sat up together until 3.30 am whilst I was waiting for my taxi to the Airport. Oh what reminiscing we did and I am embarrassed to say we could remember every conversation between Faye and Aaron.

You will have seen from the Videos that Aaron and Faye did a question and answer session first.

My first impression of Faye was how tall she is. She did have the highest heels I have ever seen in my entire life I know we have all seen footage of her on TV but I cannot stress enough what a stunningly beautiful girl she is. She talks a lot and is totally besotted with Aaron. She described him as her slightly weird geeky little hotty. I think she has said this before. I could see instantly how she was in the last 80 of 2010 and finally got into BB last year.

My first impression of Aaron was that he is shorter than he seemed on the TV. He did at one point try to tell me he was 5ft 11 A very very handsome young man. Beautiful blue eyes and very charismatic. You just really want to hug him, but I cant really explain why. He has a real vulnerability about him and until he gets talking comes across as slightly awkward. He was much less camp than I remember him on BB. and I am sure he wont mind me saying that.

Whilst they were doing the Q & As Faye took the lead and there were lots of reassuring looks from her. The body language between them was just as you would expect from a couple who are very in tune with each other.

After the Q&As and the meal, they both came over to our table. Faye sat down and chatted very freely. Aaron sort of loitered in the backgrand looking a tad awkwaaaaaard I wanted to say to Faye how impressed we all were with her in the week after she came out of BB and how she coped with the barrage of anti Aaron nonsense that she was subjected to on BOTS and OKtv. She said it was a very very difficult week. She really was at a loss to understand why people were being so negative about their relationship. She truly believed that she knew Aaron so well and trusted everything he had said to her. She said of course they had difficult times in the house, particularly the family nominations, but she never doubted him at all.

We had a bit of a giggle about how every Sunday he would go off on one and we would all being thinking "oh No Aarron not again, we will have to get voting because you will be nominated". She said she thought the same thing every weekend. She is very open, probably a bit too open. We spoke about her Mum's nominating him and she was very upset by that, but can understand why because of course her Mum was seeing the biased editing that we were seeing.

I told her about the videos cris has put together and she has definately read some of the thread.

She was very up for chatting lots, and has lots of things in the pipeline. She seems to be back in training and on her high protein diet. Whether that is for wrestling or something else she has in the pipeline I am not sure.

I managed to chat later with Aaron. It was outside the Party room and much easier to have a good convo. He asked me if I thought the series was boring He felt from inside it might appear boring to the viewers. I told him it was far from that.

Obviously there were lots of things said that I cant put on a public forum but a couple of funny ones.

There was a video being played of their story and Frosted Flake snogathon. He said he had no idea it looked as steamy as it did. He thought at the time it was just the two of them having a little kiss in the storeroom and it was not until he saw it on the screen did he realise it was just a tad more than that We laughed about the amount of views that clip had on the Websites.

Whilst we were chatting Faye being Faye was trying to attract Aaron's attention and whistled him. I am sure you will all remember the "I dont like your tone" moment. His response was very similar. He said "I am not a dog": Me being me, said you are not going to put up with that are you. He said she did it to him in Asda last week whilst they were shopping and he was not happy. It was a classic Aaron/Faye moment doing the normal things a real couple do.

We laughed about how Faye's awkwaaaaard has caught on and even Ant and Dec said it. Faye is very flattered bless her.

I chatted with him about his legal background. Those of you who know me will know I too have a legal background, and we both qualified by a very similar route. It is something he has to fall back on if his other plans dont all come to fruition. We all know he is a very intelligent guy and he certainly came over that way. Once he was a bit more relaxed he chatted freely about the show, his perceptions etc. He is very handsy I honestly cannot understand how anyone could dislike him. I guess he is very different from your average BB winner. He is obviously most comfortable around the people he knows and I can totally see why he has chosen to go back to living in Weston.

Faye loves Weston and is so happy in their new home together. She thinks it is hilarious that we all know where it is. They are getting it furnished now and loving setting up home together. She is doing really well with her cooking skills and can make Spag bol and a roast dinners. She still isnt much good with eggs though

Remember we saw the "are you going to get muscles for me Aaron" convo. Well it aint going to happen. He did go to the gym with her, but wasnt overly impressed. She is totally fine with that, and they seem to have reached the point where neither expects the other to do things they are not too keen on. Although bless her, she did say she sat up with him until 3.00 am watching the golf.

They absolutely adore each other. She says she feels so lucky to have met him and seems so happy in her life now. She has made loads of new friends and she says that she loves all of Aarons friends. They still keep in touch with some of the BB people and certainly would like to keep those contacts, although I got the impression that neither of them are fools and totally understand the basis of those relationships.

We touched a little bit on the convo in the house about her being bullied at school. It sounds as though it was quite bad and it is something she feels really passionate about.

They both seemed quite bemused that they would mention something that happened in the house and we knew exactly what they were talking about and could even quote the dates. Of course there was much we didnt see They havent yet watched it all back, but Aaron is very keen to do so. I am not so sure about Faye.

They are really lovely people who both realise how lucky they are to have found each other. They gave their time without question and didnt go the bed until about 2.00am. They just chatted as though they were with a group of friends.

There is quite a bit in the pipeline for both of them, but obviously there is much they cannot discuss as yet.

I was so glad I made the effort to meet them both and the rest of the poppets, it was well worth the journey from Spain.

Here is the last.


Nicki_r_p

Hi everyone,

Just a flying visit, as I am utterly exhausted, but just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who attended last night, and to everyone else who has been so supportive!
It was easily one of the most stressful experiences of my life (haha!!), but it was so worthwhile.

We were expecting 70 attendees, but I think 65 were there in total - a few weren't able to make it because of the weather unfortunately. The conditions really were shocking, so I'm grateful to those who made such long journeys to be there! I had hoped to get a few more people there, but the way Aaron and Faye spend so much time with everyone, there's no way they'd have able to meet everyone if there were many more people!

I was not a healthy girl yesterday - public speaking is not my forte, and I was incredibly nervous about interviewing Aaron and Faye. It didn't help that Aaron and Faye were both equally nervous, lol!
My friend videoed the interview on her camcorder, so she'll be uploading as soon as possible.
Thanks for doing those videos though Julian - I'll go and have a look now.

I'm criging a bit reading the transcripts! The whole thing was an utter blur - I literally don't remember asking any of the questions, or responding to their answers.
The hotel function room overlooked a hill as well, and I explained to Aaron and Faye afterwards as well, that if I appeared distracted at any point, it was because I kept on catching sight of vans and cars sliding down this hill in the snow! Eeek!
It was a bit annoying only having the one mic as well - I hope the sound is ok.

I said this wasn't going to be long - lol!
Just to re-iterate how absolutely fantastic Aaron and Faye are. As we've been arranging the PA, they've been in constant contact about arrangements, and last night they were so incredibly easy to work with. They are so very generous with their time, and just genuinely lovely people.

Aaron said to me in the early hours of the morning that they had both really enjoyed it, and it had been completely different to their other PAs. He said it had been really nice knowing that everyone was there to meet them, rather than attendees just being there out on the lash, with him and Faye being an extra part to their evening.

Hopefully others will remember a few bits of gossip (there was plenty!), but they are absolutely smitten.

Thanks again all

Thanks Heaven Scent

Techically that wasn't a report, it was a transcript of the Aaron and Faye interview, the video of which can be found here:

Here's also a short clip of Faye dancing

I also did a report of the occasion, which was:

It took me 4 hours to drive home (normally should be 2.5) and I'm really glad I've got a four wheel drive - Some of the roads I was on were an absolute ice rink

It was worth it to see Aaron and Faye though.

Nicki did a great job on the venue. The tables were strewn with balloons and glitter and everyone got a bag of sweets (including a box of poppets!)

The proceedings started a bit late (I assume Aaron and Faye had their own drive to recover from) but then they entered to much applause. They both seemed a bit nervous but they got into the swing of things with Nicki asking our questions.

I videoed the Q&A on my phone but I have no idea how to upload it. Looks like it all came out 90 degree sideways anyway as I was holding the phone the wrong way round

Considering the cost the food was surprisingly good too. Aaron and Faye started to go round the tables but the music was a bit too loud for that so they decided to take it outside the room for the meet and greets.

I got to speak to them and they really were very lovely. I told Aaron he was only my second favourite housemate so he asked me who my favourite was. When I said Faye she gave me a high five

All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was great to meet some fellow digitalspy posters there too. I could have done without the journey home but it was worth it

Evening.


In a bid to get some different shots for my Aaron and Faye video (won't bore you with my computer woes. Sadly, couldn't hit the Valentine's Day deadline I set myself. Oh well...) I thought I'd just skip to all the news sections on BOTS - apart from the Sunday shows as I couldn't bear to sit through the quiz to find clips. Out of around 170 or so news items, Aaron appeared in probably less than 10. Aaron and Faye together totalled about 3 times in all and annoyingly none giving a suitable shot I could use. Not surprisingly, Jay appeared in at least one news item on each show.




Maybe the pilot?

I'd quite like to see him on The Wright Stuff again.

It would be lovely to see Aaron doing what he wanted to do.

Going by the chat at the PA he does seem to be doing just that. He seemed both nervous but excited by the upcoming projects.

I did have a little word with him about the difference between being famous and being a celebrity and he seemed to understand straight away what I was saying. He's got his head screwed on. He's just giving things a go and seeing where it takes him.

Nice to know that you had a chat. I guess he knows also that being neither famous or a celebrity, except to his ardent fans is part of the reality. His higher priority of building his life with Faye will guide him. He definitely has his head screwed on

what ohboy thinks about it? he could have meant anything. maybe he expects to be on bots next season and that's "soon" to him. who knows what he was referring to. maybe he's almost certain his pilot will get the go-ahead.

he's done a pilot, and that's wonderful. it sounds like he had a blast putting it together, which is even better. and he said he's working on other things too, as he should, because there are no guarantees. hopefully one of his projects will get picked up. if not, no big deal, if he had fun trying.

I would take the 'yes' to be that as he doesnt seem to have strings attached to it himself.
