The geeky star of reality programme Big Brother went on-air to catch-up with some friends from the Channel 4 show.

Eugene Sully interviewed former housemates Derek and Kamal when he presented a radio breakfast show for one week, broadcasting live across the South-East.

The engineer from Pound Hill, Crawley, who was runner-up in the show and won £50,000, displayed the kind of antics which won him legions of fans on Big Brother when he decided to throw a marrow and a pumpkin out of the station window on live radio.

The marrow proved the most resilient of the two vegetables following the bizarre experiment during the show on 102.7 Mercury FM, which also featured his Anecdote Of The Day and was captured by television cameras for a new show What The Housemates Did Next.

Eugene said: "It was a great week, I met a lot of listeners and even got quite a few propositions - I was very surprised!"
