While on the show, he described himself as: "charming, confident, game, outrageous and irresistible" adding: "Being a Channing Tatum look-a-like is a bonus to say the least."I get told I look like him a lot."
He also revealed at the time that Jodie Marsh was his celeb crush, saying: "I want a girl thatβs able to laugh at herself but equally someone that acts like a girl.Β
"I donβt want a best mate. A girl that makes the best of herself and is classy. And if she could look like Jodie Marsh that would be amazing".
