Blogging!! Everybody's doing it.

Today marks 97 days since I was evicted from the Big Brother house.

I was locked away in the house for 94 days and spent 8 days prior to that in a hotel room for lock down.

 

I can't believe it's gone so fast. Thanks so much for everyone that read this blog whilst I was in the house. I am very humbled by all the support I have received from fans. Many thanks must go to my family and friends that were forced to watch me in the house, which I'm sure would have been cringe worthy at times. In particular I must thank my brother Nick who put an enormous amount of effort into this blog and drumming up support for me, I'm sure it has something with lasting so long.

 

Life since Big Brother has been somewhat surreal. The social media explosion in itself has been confronting and challenging at times but has been amazing tool to speak with fans in 'real time'. The confronting element has been having to deal with the negativity and 'trolls' that offer an unwanted opinion, but thankfully the majority of my interactions with fans has been positive.

 

Obviously coming out of the house everyone wanted to know about Jade and I. Which is fair enough! It's weird to have to deal with people and questions about your relationship. It's something I've never experienced and found overwhelming at times, but understandable.
 
However, the love received on Social Media has been amazing. People of all ages have private messaged me, tweeted me, instagramed and facebooked me all praising me for living in a house for 94 days. That's the best part about this entire experience. As much as I feel the exact same person coming out of the Big Brother house as I did walking into the house, people now feel as if they know me and care about where I go from here.

Where to from here? Honestly - who knows!! I went into the Big Brother house wanting to have a life experience that was like none other. That I've definitely done. Would I have liked to come out of the show and walk into endless opportunities - sure. But I never kid myself and think that just because I was on a reality TV show that I'm entitled to anything more than anyone else.  Nevertheless, I will try to seek out opportunities and forge a career in media.

Coffee, food, fashion, apps and sports or even just normal day to day events and happenings I will write about what consumes my life... Fist things first;

I NEED to change the name.
