Canny Geordie, Jonny Regan, bragged about winning this year's Big Brother earlier this year to pals in his local pub. Regan bragged about his winning tactics and was warned prior to entering the house by his family to tone down his language and "vicious temper"
Regan, 29, told fellow drinkers that if he entered the Big Brother house that "He would have it in the bag" Alan Peters, a regular told reporters "He told us he would compete for the cameras and would do anything to make sure he had 60% camera attention per day" A worried relative who asked to remain anonymous stated
'We were worried that he would flip his lid whilst in the house. Jonny, has a furious temper and his mother warned him before going in to keep his cool" This talleys with other reports in the press where members of the public and close friends have conceded that Jonny," Is a maniac" if someone rubs him up the wrong way. Martin Dawson, another regular admitted "Jonny is not all what he seems. He is playing the clown, we've never witnessed the lighter
side of Jonny, many of the lads won't approach the fella because of his reputation"
Only last week, an ex-girlfriend of Regan's spoke about the beatings she suffered at the hands of the fire fighter." Its all false! She insisted. "Anyone who has come into contact with Jonny knows he is putting on a show in front of the cameras"
There were further reports of crude antics, which involved coins revealed in the press, earlier this week.
A close friend told our reporters "He wants the fame and all the frills that go along with it. He was an extra in Billy Elliot and most of his friends are extras"
Jonny's girlfriend and family refused to comment when pressed on the latest revelation about the " loveable Geordie"
Has the public seen through his mask, what will he pull out of his bag of tricks next, will he indeed emerge as winner of this year's Big Brother?
