BB9 Mikey: 'I'm up for Ultimate Champion'

Big Brother 9 star Mikey Hughes has said that he would like to take part in the Ultimate Champion series.

Hughes, who finished runner-up in 2008 behind Rachel Rice, claimed that he would be a more interesting housemate on the two-week all-star run than early series contestants such as Craig Phillips.

"I think I would like to go back into the house but it's a weird one," he told the Clydebank Post. "Nothing is ever going to be as good the second time around.

"They'll probably have all the usual suspects going in - Craig Philips, Brian Belo and Nikki Grahame. Craig is a nice guy but he won a series ten years ago and TV has moved on.

"The show's producers should want it to go out with a bang. They don't want it to go out with two weeks of reminiscing. You want people that are going to go for it from day one and characters that are going to clash. I would clash with most of them because I don't really like any of them."

He added: "There's no Scottish people in the house this year and a lot of people are really disappointed about that so maybe they'll want to put somebody Scottish in for the last two weeks."
