By his own admission, horseracing pundit John is "a deeply unpleasant person." He adds that "the views I hold are deeply unacceptable to some people." He also admits to loving "big breasts" and has even named his dog 'Double D'.
He thinks his time in the Big Brother House will be interesting, especially as "I've never been in the kitchen in my life." He does intend to "do the menial tasks that any fool can do," although his wife Booby has revealed, "he can't mend a fuse."
Which charity have you picked and why?
Greatwood Caring for Retired Racehorses. It will go directly to animals who give us so much pleasure. What happens when they become slow or old?
What do you think you'll find is the hardest thing about being in the Celebrity Big Brother house?
Boredom and the egos of the others trying to win. I'm not frightened of Big Brother - well not yet anyway!
What will you miss most?
Booby (my wife), my cats and dogs and the news.
What will you be glad to get away from?
Nothing.
How long do you think you'll last in the house?
24 hours - I want to be the fastest voted off evictee. If it was a horserace they'd say "he's not trying". I'm going in there knowing I'm not going to win and not trying to win.
What do your family and friends think about you being in Celebrity Big Brother?
I've got no friends. I've only got Booby.
Can you cook and what's your signature dish?
I can't cook. My father never went in the kitchen and neither do I.
Why do you think you'll make a good housemate?
I won't. I don't have a career to enhance. I'm a failed bookie, a failed punter and a failed journalist.
Who would be your ideal Big Brother housemate?
Kate Winslet.
Who would be your nightmare Big Brother housemate?
Flat-chested, bossy women. Someone like Germaine Greer or Christine Hamilton.
Name three things you will be taking into the Big Brother house
Cigars, loose-leaf tea and a soft pillow.
