JJ is a self-confessed compulsive liar who claims to be friends with Aston Merrygold from boyband JLS.

The professional boxer started fighting at the age of 13 and has had 12 professional fights – winning five, losing five and drawing two.

He dreams of becoming a World Boxing Champion or a TV presenter.

JJ is extremely competitive, believing “it’s first or nothing”, and once gambled a whole month’s wages on a horse race after receiving a tip from a friend.

He is currently working as a barman to support himself and is always looking for new ways to make money, claiming he’d sleep with someone for £100,000.

JJ is so scared of potatoes and octopuses – he can’t even look at them – and he worries that people will look down on him when he meets them.

He claims he is rubbish at keeping secrets and that he doesn’t hate anyone, as hate is a strong word.
