Who is Big Brother’s Nasty Nick?

Nick Bateman is a 52-year-old TV personality who was born in Burlington.

Before landing a place on the first Big Brother back in 2000, Nick worked as a city trader for Willis Group Holdings.

During his time in the house, the reality star was labelled ‘Nasty Nick’ after it emerged he had been manipulating flatmates and playing them against each other.

While he never received a single eviction nomination, producers cottoned onto Nick’s plan and tipped off his housemates as to what was going on.

The episode drew in 6million viewers, with Craig announcing: “Basically, I have to say it Nick, I am very disappointed in yourself.
