Nasty Nick charges �3,000 for club appearances

Former Big Brother bad boy Nick Bateman charges a bigger appearance fee than chart-topper Craig David to visit clubs and demands a team of bouncers at each venue.

Bateman's �3,000 fee for a two hour visit is more than what David and Eastenders stars Martin Kemp and Michael Greco charge.

For just two hours work, including a 20-minute spell as a DJ, a question-and-answer session with customers, and time for autographs, Nick wants �3,000 plus VAT - �3,525. He also insists on five-star hotels and limos or first class rail travel.

His fees are three-times that of ex-housemates Tom and Sada, although shaven-headed Nichola Holt wants �2,000 to perform her forthcoming dance single The Game, out on October 9, reports the Daily Star newspaper.

Soul sensation David, who has had two No.1 singles and a No.1 album, gets just �2,000 a time.

But Bateman refuses to travel to Liverpool fearing reprisals from fans of the Channel 4 show's eventual winner Craig Phillips, who he tried to stitch up.

One nightclub manager moaned about Bateman's demands: "It is ludicrous. You can get chart acts for a fraction of this - he's just trying to con us like he did his housemates."

NICK REVEALS NASTY TRUTH ABOUT BIG BRO

BIG BROTHER�S nasty Nick Bateman has savaged his housemates in the hit show and exposed their deepest secrets.

Nick, thrown off the Channel 4 series for cheating, rips them apart one by one in a bombshell new book.

Here is his verdict on each of the contestants, in the order they were voted out of the Big Brother house.

SADA WALKINGTON: So beautiful, so interesting, so dim. Sada thought she was really intelligent but it was like Peter Beardsley thinking he�s a bit of a looker.

"There was one moment when everyone realised she was two lumps of tofu short of a vegetarian meal. We were trying to work out how long the ten of us should spend in the shower as it was only on for an hour each day. Sada suggested 10 minutes each!

ANDY DAVIDSON: Andy became his own worst enemy because he couldn�t stop showing off about his sex life. He kept going on and on about how he�d slept with Filipina prostitutes and how he�d taken part in three-in-a-bed sex romps. Every time he opened his mouth I could see the girls stiffen.

After I�d been ejected I met up with Andy for a drink. As usual I was surrounded by people asking for autographs and photos and Andy got really annoyed that no one recognised him! This was just how I liked it.

CAROLINE O�SHEA and NICHOLA HOLT: I know I�m writing about everyone else separately but I can never imagine Caroline (pictured left with Nick) without thinking about that other nutter, Nikki.

"To be honest I try not to think of either of them too much as it could cause nightmares. They gravitated to each other from the start. They were the loudest women I�d ever met. Hyenas would have objected to Caroline�s laugh. Nikki�s northern screech was as bad.


Veins
Caroline was a bit of a prude. She�d keep her knickers on in the shower and tried to rig up a curtain in the girl�s bedroom so they couldn�t see her get undressed.

"I wonder what she had to hide. She brought a saxophone into the house but could only play one song, Killing Me Softly. It was killing us all, but not softly.

We nicknamed Nikki �the mad one� and she lived up to the name when she flipped out and started screaming that we were all w**kers with the veins in her forehead and neck bulging and her eyes staring madly.

I met up with the pair at the TV Quick awards the other week when they careered drunkenly around the dance floor and crashed into Vanessa Feltz.

I thought Vanessa was going to punch them. But since she�s lost weight I don�t suppose she can hit as hard as she used to.




TOM McDERMOTT: I didn�t realise he was in the house at first because he was so quiet. Tom just watched what was going on. I later found out this was because he was very worried we wouldn�t understand his Irish accent and it�s true that for the first couple of days our only words to Tom were �What?�

This drove him even further into his shell. He didn�t bring anything to the group at all. He didn�t even cook. Little by little he started to come out of this shell but he was morose because he was under pressure from his father to return to the farm he lived on. Still, the bright lights of London may have turned his head so hopefully he�ll travel.

Next to be thrown out was Claire Strutton who replaced Nick after he was kicked off the show between Caroline and Nichola. She is the only contestant he does not write about, because he never shared the house with her.

MEL HILL: I thought of her as the Black Widow because she confided to me that she�d once driven a boyfriend to suicide. I could well believe it.

She flirted outrageously with the men in a calculating way but I had the advantage that I didn�t fancy her at all. She was trying to come across as a trendy young girl with her piercings and tattoos but in fact she was a 28-year-old woman who still lived at home with her mum. I think Mel has all the makings of a professional spy if her mum will let her out for the night.

DARREN RAMSEY: His nickname in the house was The Count because he�d put his dark glasses on as soon as he got up. It was part of his attempt to look cool for the cameras.

"At first I had the idea he was quite camp. Then he started to talk about his three kids and I thought I�d read him wrong. But the weird thing was he didn�t bring any photographs of the kids with him.

Out of all the housemates Darren is the last one I�d keep in touch with. I�m useless at talking about girly things anyway.

ANNA NOLAN: Anna was the quietest of all the girls. Mind you, a fully grown gorilla dragging a sackful of coconuts through a herd of sheep in a mental house would�ve been quieter than that lot.

When I first set eyes on her I thought she was gorgeous. Then I found out she�s a lesbian ex-nun. What a waste of a good-looking woman.

Craig, in his �hilarious� way, told Anna that all she needed to cure her lesbianism was a good seeing-to.

She was actually just as scheming as me and I became aware of that as I was secretly observing her one night when she was reading. She was just pretending to be engrossed and was in fact listening to everything going on around her.

I first got suspicious about Anna�s competitive nature by finding she was a very good card player surely they can�t teach you that in nun school? As the smell of the money got stronger, so did Anna.

CRAIG PHILLIPS, the winner: He�s an oiky, thick builder with a chip on his shoulder who found it hard to relate to an educated, refined city boy like me.

Even though he thought he was the funniest thing to come out of Liverpool since the last funny thing to come out of Liverpool, he told some of the most boring stories I�ve ever heard.

His favourite tale was about bonking some girl on a boat in Cyprus when all the rocking caused the boat to end up on the shore so they were in full view of all the holidaymakers. Ooh, my aching ribs!

He reckoned it took the boat an hour to get to shore. Yeah, right. More like a couple of minutes, I reckon.


Aching
Craig spent most of his time in bed. We hardly ever saw him but we could always hear him because he incessantly broke wind.

In his book, Nasty Nick: How To Be A Right Bastard, the 32-year-old also admits: When I told my mum I�d packed up my sensible job in the City to live in a house with nine strangers and be watched by the nation she slammed the phone down. Sorry mum, but it�s my life. I�m not a five-year-old.

He also has no regrets about trying to manipulate the nominations for who should be voted out of the Big Brother house.

I�d do it all again, he confesses, only I�d try to be even more scheming.

But the 24 hours after I left the house were very uncomfortable. I never realised how much I was hated. All I�d done was try to manipulate a game show. I was astounded by the reaction my tactics got.

But as the days rolled on, I loved being the most hated man in Britain. Everyone needs a bogeyman and I was it.

Being in TV can be a fantastic life but you have to sustain it and make sure everyone wants you again and again. That�s what I intend to do.

Right, I�m off to make a million.

Nick Bateman is said to be attempting to bring back the TV version of Cluedo.

The show first appeared on ITV in the Nineties with the likes of Leslie
Grantham, Jerry Hall, Rula Lenska and Christopher Biggins playing characters
such as Colonel Peaock and Miss Scarlett.

Now Bateman is said to be talking to Carlton TV about the possibility of a pilot
show, which is being described as a "big production".

According to Peoplenews, Bateman wants to add an extra character called Nasty
Nick.

The show would be completely interactive allowing viewers to vote for who they
think has carried out the murder.

Hasbro, which makes the Cluedo board game, says it has yet to hear from Bateman
but would be interested to hear any proposal.

Nasty Nick considers EastEnders role

Nasty Nick Bateman has told Ananova that he could be about to make an appearance in EastEnders.

He said: "We're weeding out what's good for me at the moment. That could include a Guy Ritchie film, it could include the Big Breakfast, it could include EastEnders.

"EastEnders is a possibility. What I'd really like to do is present a holiday programme."

Nick's just released his own book and video about Big Brother. He says they include what really went on in the house rather than what was shown on the television show.

He said: "They didn't show the time that all the girls were drinking champagne and eating chocolates and they didn't offer the boys any. The girls lied to us, they were just as bad.

"Everything I did on the show was part of my game plan - apart from crying I suppose. It's a human emotion and it was all part of the misfortune of being caught."

He admitted he doesn't mind the Nasty Nick persona he was given by the media.

He said: "It's better than being Boring Nick I suppose. Since I left the house people have been very positive. They realise it was a game show and there was prize money at stake."
