Luke, Becki and Adam are on the way back to Wales today, and are going to Alton Towers together on Wednesday.
Sorry, but who is Becki?

...

Nice to see that Luke A and Adam are doing things together, though.

Here is the first interview from new magazine:

Why did you want to go on BB?

I thought it would be great to make people aware of people like me. If I could help one person like me, then it would be worth it. A big thing for me was being accepted.

Were you worried about your work colleagues finding out?

It always played on my mind when I was in there. I just hoped for the best.

How did they react?

Everyone has been fantastic and supportive. They even had a party for me last night.

Why did you keep it a secret?

I worked in a big hotel and only my wife knew there. She told my father in law just before I went in. Not a lot of people knew, just my good friends.

Was it daunting telling the other housemates?

Yes, when I told them, it was like a weight off my shoulders. I felt like a new person. I can be myself now.

Do you think you’ve helped people considering gender reassignment?

I hope so.

Will you have more surgery?

The next surgery I’d like to have is revision on my chest [to improve the scars that he was left with after his double mastectomy]. The money I’ve won will help towards that.

How does it feel to win Big brother?

I’m over the moon and in shock. I didn’t expect to win, I thought Adam would.

What else are you going spend the money on?

Adam and I said we’d give each other 5Kif the other won, so I’m going do that. I’m going put most of the 45K towards a house deposit.

What was the hardest thing about being in the house?

Missing my wife.

How did it feel to be reunited with her?

Just to hold her again was amazing. It was our anniversary yesterday, so we celebrated that.

How did she cope without you?

She missed me like mad but she supported me the whole way through. She hasn’t been out for ages so she could watch me on TV!

Do you want children?

Yes, in the next 5 years or so.

Have you made a friend for life in Adam?

I’d like to think so. I hope he’ll be a constant in my life. I never expected to make such a good friend. I thought I’d be kicked out in the first week.

Why?

Because I wasn’t as entertaining as the others – they were all big characters. Sometimes I felt invisible in the house.

Did you feel self – conscious about the cameras?

It’s hard to forget they are there. I found showering difficult. At first I wore my trunks but then I thought, “sod it”.

Who will you stay in touch with?


Obviously Adam, Deana, Lydia, Lauren and Benedict.

Were you aware that your friends were popular with the public?

I think the turning point was when Deana was up for nomination against the ‘insiders’ and she didn’t go.

How do you feel about your argument with Becky over her BMI?

I didn’t want to hurt anyone. I didn’t think she would hear it. It was an off-the-cuff remark that wasn’t thought out. I felt devastated that it hurt her and her family. I’m sorry.

Did any bullying go on?


Yes. Caroline was a bully. She made Lauren’s life hell.

Was Conor a bully?

There were times I felt he bullied people. He could be quite aggressive.

Do you think he should have been kicked out after threatening Deana?

Yes.

What’s your opinion of Deana?

I’m glad I got to know her, she’s a strong woman.

What did you think of Luke S and Ashleigh’s romance?

I thought it was fake but you do question what’s real in the
house. I never saw them kissing. I hope it works out.

What’s next for you?

I plan to go home, see the family and have a proper South African braai, which is a barbecue. I have a lot of people to thank for their support.

Will you go back to work?

I do love cooking so it looks that way, yes.

Cheers for that Hula. That's a really lovely interview. I would like to see some more in depth articles from Luke because he has such an interesting story to tell.

Thanks for the article. I'd have to special order mags in.

Luke got a small mention here in an article. BBAU hms all have a secret and one of the girls secret is 'i used to be an emo' and the reporter compared luke's secret to the lame ones aussie hms have.

You're welcome It would be good if he did an interview similar to the hour long one Benedict did on real punk radio, which required more than superficial answers. It's good to see that the prize money is going make a big difference to his life.
