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 Gill, 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

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.

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 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.

Ultra-competitive Steve Gill won the honour off a team-mate during training.

Leicester Cobras pal Jignesh Vaidya said: “It used to be my shirt and we had a little game in training. Steve Gill won it and that’s why he’s now number 23. I was gutted!”

Pals say Steve Gill, 40, who also coaches other players, will surprise housemates with his never-say-die attitude.

The dad-of-eight rebuilt his life after a beer barrel bomb exploded in Belfast’s Falls Road.

IRA sympathisers who saw he was still alive then set an alsatian dog on the soldier, who was just 19 at the time.

But since then Steve Gill has become a role model for other Forces amputees.

He even crewed a yacht across the Atlantic despite being terrified of water.

A spokesman for service amputee charity BLESMA, which ran the trip, said: “Our events are challenges, not holidays. They are designed to push the lads all the way.”

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

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.

Personal trainer Phil Crosby has devised web-based health and exercise organiser – iexerci.se – which provides a forum for monitoring training and eating habits, as well as social networking.

Mr Crosby, from Rookhope, County Durham, created the site in response to client demand for a quick and easy way to manage fitness programmes. He also offers support from an online community.

The website allows users to track daily food intake, and download or create fitness programmes.

The site will be launched by Mr Crosby at the national Diet and Fitness Show at London’s Olympia, on January 23 and 24.

He said: “It all started when one of my clients was moving to Cyprus.

“He asked me to recommend a web tool where I could upload training programmes for him and he could input his progress.

“The more I researched it, the more I realised there was a huge gap in the market for a comprehensive online personal organiser.”

After a six-figure investment from private backers and 18 months in development, the site is ready for launch.

Mr Crosby said: “In the next two months, people will be able to upload their food diaries, join forums where they can get support from other members and access a huge number of training programmes.”
