Michael
Status: Evicted
Michael
Full Name: Michael 'Mikey' Hughes
Age: 33
Home: Ayrshire
Job: Radio Producer
Starsign: Libra
Social Status: Single

When Michael (Mikey) was 23 he lost his sight whilst undergoing an operation and has now been blind for 10 years. Mikey works as a radio producer for a blind radio station called ‘Radio Insight’ and in 2007 was part of a team that won a Sony Radio Academy Award. He is extremely proud of his career and feels privileged to be doing what he does. If he won a million pounds he would like to quit his job and write radio plays and books, plus buy a pet pig!

Mikey describes himself as wacky, zany and non-conformist and considers his best ability is to make others laugh. His favourite party trick is to do stand-up comedy whilst dressed up in girls’ clothes.

Mikey decided to audition for Big Brother this year as in the past people could smoke in the house and he dislikes the smell of smoke due to his acute sense of smell. He hopes his time in the Big Brother house will help him to be more tolerant of people and would like to come across as an entertaining housemate and not boring or a grumbler.

(June 14, 2008, 10:40 am) bob says:

Will, i think you’ll find that he is blind he’s not that type of guy to fake something like that, if he was evil e would be mre like Alexandra but he’s not he’s the nicest guy in the house.

Enough of this from xfactor ughhh
Get him out!

(June 16, 2008, 10:36 pm) lewis says:

He isn’t playing the blind card, Otherwise he would of been doing it for 13 years. Anyone thinking he is faking it should think again, his eyes are good enough proof.

(June 17, 2008, 2:58 pm) brett says:

i absolutely hate him

(June 23, 2008, 9:55 am) emily says:

ino hes blind but hes boringg , he just sleeps all day , andd he doesnt acciostatee with thee gorup !

(June 23, 2008, 11:50 pm) Venom says:

Dirty, horrible nasty little man. He is nothing but Mario’s lap dog and contributes nothing to the house apart from snotty tissue paper and bogeys. He has the manners of a pig. Sorry but I know blind people who have been listening to the show and they are disgusted by him. The toilet incident was disgusting and his guide dog joke was down right offensive.
People should NOT be giving him sympathy voets.

GET HIM OUT!

(June 25, 2008, 12:39 pm) Stu says:

I’m sympathetic towards him but he’s also starting to do my head in now, as much as Kat is

(June 27, 2008, 8:09 pm) Laura XD says:

I DONT RELI LYK EM CUS WEN E GOES IN2 DA DIARY ROOM HE SHOUTS AS IF UR 50 MILES AWAY!!!!! >=(

(June 30, 2008, 7:40 pm) Becky says:

Mikey doesn’t get on my nerves, the other housemates treatment towards him does. Just because he’s blind doesn’t mean he’s an invalid … like davina said he’s been blind for 13 years since he was 23 and he knows how to cook! So doesn’t need people tip toeing around him and mario in his face ALL the time. he sould be treated as a normal person and if dale had done everything mikey has done i.e jokes and everything he would be hated >(

(June 30, 2008, 8:06 pm) Megan G says:

Cannot stand him! Disgusting and ugly combined! And he called Sylvia selfish!

(July 21, 2008, 3:38 pm) claret says:

Thought he was okay at the beginning but his jokes are really smutty and not at all funny and he has a bit of a nasty streak about him

(July 21, 2008, 4:05 pm) Becca says:

GET HIM OUT.

Does nothing, bitches all day, if he wasn’t blind then he would’ve been up for nomination, and GONE a long bloody time ago.

He’s not entertaining, he’s rude, nasty and vile.

God, he is so annoying !!
GET HIM OUT
GET HIM OUT
GET MICKEY OUT
GET HIM OUTTTTTTT

He is degrading towards women, he is a pig to live with, he SHOUTS in the diary room - I would hate to hear him on the radio, he would be crap because he doesnt get the concept of microphones. He is playing the blind card big time, if he wasnt disabled he would have been out within the first month.
ANNOYING!
HATE HIM
GET MICKEY OUT.

(September 1, 2008, 12:59 am) Stu says:

This series has been unique in the sense that the ones who are left don’t deserve to win, except this guy Mikey, he’s genuine, no gimmicks and funny and the way he stands up to bully boy Rex he deserves to win.

(September 2, 2008, 1:09 pm) hi says:

I think he is funny , him or rachel to win !!!

(September 4, 2008, 1:26 am) beccy says:
