Profile

This ex-postman / ex-pest controller is now a Christian Minister who lives at home with his wife of 17 years along with his four kids, three dogs, six chickens and lots of rabbits.

David recently organised an extreme religious event on Barry Island called 'Sloshfest' which attracted hundreds of people from around the globe.

Top of the class at junior school, David went off the rails as a teen, drinking and taking drugs. However, on October 11th 1992 he met Jesus. Since then he has thrown off the shackles of drink and drugs getting drunk on "Godka" instead.

As well as God, David believes in UFOs and ghosts but only as an extension of his understanding of the scriptures. He says he doesn't want to go into the house to preach but to be himself, claiming to be funny, bright and likeable when he is relaxed.

David enjoys hunting, fishing and Cardiff City FC. He says he spends a lot of time doing very little but does travel through time and space in the spirit realm and the weirdest thing he's done is "visit the sun".

He says 'I didn't want to go on Big Brother and I feel weird about the whole thing', but since wondered if God's opening a door to the show for him. Whilst in the house he says that he is up for having fun but won't do 'anything of a sexual nature, or that 'may harm my Ministerial integrity'.

Big Brother 11

On Day 6, after receiving five nominations from his fellow housemates, Dave was nominated for eviction. The following day, he successfully managed to win the weekly Save and Replace task; he chose Rachael as his replacement nominee. On Day 13, after receiving four nominations from his fellow housemates, Dave was nominated for eviction. The following day, he failed to win the weekly Save and Replace task; this meant he faced the public vote against Ben, Govan and Mario.

The following day, he successfully managed to win the weekly Save and Replace task; he chose Caoimhe as his replacement nominee. On Week 7, Dave was automatically put up for eviction as a result of discussing nominations. On Day 49, he failed to win the weekly Save and Replace task; this meant he faced the public vote. On Day 52, Dave survived the public vote. On Day 56, Dave was put up for eviction by Mario as a result of the weekly Save and Replace task. He faced the public vote against John James and Rachel. On Day 59, Rachel was evicted and Mario remained in the House. On Day 62, after receiving three nominations form his fellow housemates, Dave was nominated for eviction. The following day, Dave was not eligible to take part in the weekly Save and Replace task as he broke the rules regarding the discussion of nominations. On Day 66, Dave survived the public vote. That same day, after Jo's eviction, housemates had to choose a fellow housemate to be given a ticket to the Final. They chose Josie; all other housemates faced a quadruple eviction. On Day 73, Dave survived the eviction. He left the House on Day 77 in 2nd place, with 9.1% of the five-way vote to win.
