INSIDE LOCKDOWN

Hey! My name is Nick Rees, I spent the week with Ed in lockdown on the Gold Coast. Lockdown was a strange experience, when we arrived from the airport they took us to the Hilton where we spent the week. They immediately took our mobiles and gave us a rundown, telling us that we weren't allowed to leave the room unless our chaperone 'Luke' (legend) was with us. We weren't allowed to watch T.V but we were allowed to bring in a hard drive so we loaded one up with heaps of movies and T.V series. We smashed lots of Game of Thrones, Sons Of Anarchy, Suits and How to Make It In America. Aside from the movies, Ed and I did kickboxing twice a day and found anything we could to do a workout with in the room. We wrote a shopping list every two days for the BB team to get us and cooked up healthy meals (our list was apparently about 10X bigger than any other housemates). Ed also cleaned flat out as usual!

Aside from being locked in the room, Ed was asked to do a couple of photo shoots for channel 9 and various other magazines throughout the days - a nice break from the T.V series. It seemed as though Ed wasn't exactly the natural male model - he was totally embarrassed at all the different poses they asked him to do, but in the end he got through.

During the 'down time' we talked about everything imaginable BB, particularly the twist - Ed thought there would be two houses!

Despite the relatively uneventful week in lock down, he was in good spirits when I left him. But at the last minute, it had just started to dawn on him he was about to go into the house. Like true men, we hugged it out and went our separate ways.

All in all, I think he is doing really well in the house and the way he is being portrayed is awesome.  The housemates and public still have more of his funny side to see and I am excited to see if anything happens with Jade? I'm sure you are all enjoying watching him as much as I am!
