Steve Gill's Blog

Big Brother housemate Steve Gill has admitted that he had a bit of a tearful moment in the house yesterday, when he thought about his two year old daughter.

In a chat with Corin and Sunshine, the former serviceman Steve Gill admitted that he was feeling incredibly homesick and that he missed his eight children badly, especially the littlest one.

Steve Gill Big Brother

Steve Gill said: “I was in the toilet earlier on and when I looked in the mirror I saw my little girl, and that was it.”

Sunshine tried to cheer him up saying:

“Don’t worry Steve, she watches you on TV every day so she’s OK. she’s not going to forget about you!”

While floppy haired Ben added: “Think of all the stuff you could do for your family

It has been an eventful first week in the Big Brother House with lots of laughs and tears, but one of the least favourites to turn on the waterworks in that time has confessed to having a moment earlier today.

Big Steve Gill confided in Sunshine and Corin whilst they prepared the plates for this evening’s meal.  Steve Gill told them that he had his first ‘wobble’ earlier.  Slightly confused at what Steve Gill meant, Corin asked if he nearly fell over to which Steve Gill giggled and replied ‘no, I was in the toilet earlier on and when I looked in the mirror, I saw my little girl… and that was it’.

The girls showed their sympathy and assured the father of eight that he was making all his family proud.  Sunshine calmly said ‘don’t worry Steve Gill, she watches you on TV every day so she’s OK!’

Sensitive Steve Gill appreciated the girls’ help and continued to help set the table, happy that he’s making people proud at home.

Bookies have been quick to single out Steve Gill, a one-eyed double amputee, as the favourite to win the final series of Big Brother.

Father-of-eight Steve Gill, who once sailed the Atlantic, is placed at 4/1 and closely followed by ‘Yorkshire Liam Gallagher’ Nathan and Aussie John James at 6/1.

The bisexual Govan and Big Brother’s ‘random’ mole Mario come in just behind with odds of 7/1 and 8/1.

The middle order sees Josie, Caoimhe and Ife at 10/1, 14/1 and 14/1 respectively. Josie describes herself as a ‘loser’, while Ife may see a surge in popularity after revealing she was Cheryl Cole’s backing dancer.

‘Godka’ drinking 39-year-old David only manages to come in as 9th favourite to win the series, followed by PM-wannabe Sunshine and Jordan lookalike Corin, both at 20/1.

Unfortunately for Tory boy Benjamin, Beyoncé-a-like Rachel and squatter Shabby, bookies are giving them little chance to win, placing them all at 25/1.

Steve Gill – 4/1

Nathan – 6/1

BIG Brother squaddie Steve Gill swapped his scary black glass eye for a blue and white one today.

The ex-Armed Forces hero Steve Gill, 40, lost both his legs and one eye when he survived a bomb blast in Belfast, Northern Ireland back in 1989 when he was just 20.

On Wednesday with his black glass eye … Steve Gill,

When he entered the house on Wednesday his eye was black, however, this morning Steve Gill emerged with a blue one, which perfectly matched his good left eye.

Let’s hope Big Brother didn’t catch the swap on camera.
