Big Brother 2011: Mark Henderson (Profile)

Big Brother is a game show in which a group of contestants, called housemates, live in isolation from the outside world in a custom built “house”, which includes everyday facilities such as a fully-equipped kitchen, garden, bedroom, bathroom and,  a task room.

The house is also a television studio with cameras and microphones in most of the rooms to record the activities of the housemates. The only place where housemates can escape the company of the other contestants is the Diary Room, where they are encouraged to voice their true feelings. Not all Diary Room footage is broadcast due to the privacy of the contestants.

Each week all housemates nominate two of their fellow contestants for potential eviction. Failure to do so may result in a punishment, such as a reduction in the prize fund. The two, or more, housemates with the highest number of nominations face a public vote conducted by phone, with the contestant receiving the most votes being evicted from the house. Occasionally more than one housemate may be evicted in a week. The last contestant remaining in the house is declared the winner and is awarded a cash prize.  Since 2004, the prize fund has remained at £100,000!

Motormouth Mark Henderson reckons he is a “modern day Jester”. He once worked in Italy as part of a touring show where he dressed as a tiger.

He is accident-prone and loves to play pranks – but came off the worse for wear when he snorted chilli sauce instead of tomato ketchup and ended up in casualty. He also wore a clown costume to give a speech at his best mate’s wedding.

Mark, 28, is single and currently works as a sales assistant.  His last girlfriend was two years ago and he says he is looking for love in the house.

Mark has a soft spot for animals and has a pet tortoise. He once even resuscitated a dead frog from his neighbour’s garden. He says he has a phobia of egg-whites, stating “I don’t like the way it moves”. Mark likes to keep himself amused and would like to take an electric scooter into the house.
