Jon, who once helped slaughter his friend's pig, enjoys cricket and hockey. He loathes mushrooms and reckons he cooks the best Christmas dinner in the world.
Why Big Brother?: "Someone I know told me that I wouldn't be able to do it - and I never pass up a challenge."

Post-Big Brother
Tickle, a physics graduate of the University of Leicester, has gone on to co-present Brainiac: Science Abuse, a series of science-based shows on the UK television station Sky One. His best-known stunt, shown on other shows such as QI and Mythbusters was of Tickle walking on a pool full of custard powder and water.
Tickle has had many ideas and one of his most famous is the "time-delay toaster." "What's the problem with toast? Two slices pop up, you whip one out, and spread some margarine on it. But by the time you get the second, the consistency has changed. Why not have a time delay?" He is also known for the segment 'Tickle's Teaser', where he asks the viewer a tough scientific question.
