Brian's awards excitement - Nov 2 2007
Big Brother winner Brian Belo was so excited to be at the National TV Awards, it seems he had to hug presenter Dermot O'Leary.

The 20-year-old, who is still said to be in a relationship with BB twin Amanda Marchant, spotted the Big Brother's Little Brother host on the red carpet and they shared a cuddle.

Afterwards, he said: "I've just been on a ride this year, it's been like 'great I'm at the Royal Albert Hall at the National TV Awards'. I remember watching this when I was a little kid and now I'm here, it's just so pukka.

"I'm having a great time and enjoying it completely."

And Brian, who has kept something of a low profile compared to BB's Chanelle and the twins, added: "I appeared in Hollyoaks and stuff so I've just basically been weighing up my options at the moment, so it's all been really cool."

Meanwhile, BB housemate Zach 'Ziggy' Lichman revealed he was set to "get into theatre" in a few weeks, adding: "I've kind of got myself in the background."

When asked about Chanelle's modelling, he said: "Hey man, she can do what she wants to do, I don't own her."

BB’s Brian stars in Hollyoaks - Oct 10 2007
Big Brother winner Brian Belo has admitted he was so excited he "couldn’t sleep" when he landed a role on Hollyoaks.

The reality TV star has been cast as an extra on the soap, and got to spend the day chatting with the stars in Hollyoaks village.

"I can’t believe I’m in Hollyoaks!" he told Heat magazine. "This ranks as one of the top three days of my life. Number one was winning BB, and number two was going out with BB’s Amanda, of course."

Brian said the highlights included meeting Jennifer Metcalfe, who plays sexy Mercedes, and pulling a pint in The Dog pub.

"I got to meet Mercedes - my favourite character!" he gushed.

"Jennifer, who plays her, was really lovely, just as I’d dreamed. When she said I could sit on her bed in the McQueens’ house, I was like, game on!"

He added: "I nearly fainted when I went into The Dog!"
