Tommy: 'CBB easy after time in prison'

Tommy has said that his time in prison helped him to cope with the pressures and boredom of the Big Brother experience.

The housemate, now the leader of the Scottish Solidarity Party, has previously served time in prison for offences relating to anti-nuclear demonstrations and for attempting to stop a warrant sale.

Speaking to The Daily Record, Tommy said: "I think I dealt with the boredom better than many others. You have to learn to live with that in prison."

Tommy then went on to admit that many housemates didn't appreciate how well they were being looked after and that he couldn't understand the level of complaining and whinging in the house.

"You have to watch you don't go overboard. It's a game show, it's a comfortable house, we were relatively well fed," he said.
