I don't know anything about his back-story but by his behaviour he gives the air of being a frustrated performer who got into producing because he could never cut it as an actor.
BB have, somewhat regrettably, given him the limelight he so sorely desires and he's hell-bent on grabbing every last minute of it. That he's about 3 times as annoying as Louis Spence the previous apotheosis (or is it nadir?) of "look, look at me, look at me now!" Big Brother grand-standing is quite some achievement!
I'm mildly confused by his website - it says he comes from a "heavy entertainment" background - is that like "light entertainment" but with more calories
