Mario
Status: Evicted
Mario
Full Name: Mario Marconi (Real name Shaun Astbury)
Age: 42
Home: Warrington
Job: Former probation officer
Starsign: Gemini
Social Status: In a relationship

The male half of the first ever summer series Big Brother couple, Mario takes as much pride in his appearance as girlfriend Lisa does, and regularly spends over two hours to get ready for a night out. Mario’s real name is Shaun, however his “Italian stallion” alter-ego has come about due to so many people saying he looks like Sylvester Stallone. In truth, he has no actual link to Italy but he does say his favourite film is Rocky.

A father of two girls, Mario considers his toned, athletic body to be his best asset. He and girlfriend Lisa are fitness-obsessed and say they have sex at least once every day. Before Lisa, his romantic past includes having his heart broken by Miss Copenhagen when he was 18, and he claims to have slept with over 200 women.

Mario says he feels strongly about politics, thinks crime laws are too soft and believes there should be a zero-alcohol limit for all drivers. His life philosophy is that life is long, live it once, once is enough.

His strangest job ever was as a stripping policeman on a myspace advertisement for hot tubs, and if he could be re-incarnated he would like to come back as racing driver Lewis Hamilton.

I thought Mario would be my favourite housemate, that was until he opened his mouth! Does nothing but sit in the garden or the bedroom with his other half bitching and moaning. Should be banned from eating custard creams! The only “fanclubs” he has are people who cannot stand him and wan’t him OUT!
