Evicted: Week 5
Age: 42
From: Warrington
Occupation: Former Probation Officer at the Home Office
One of the first contestants to go into the house Mario, real name Shaun, is the first housemate on Big Brother to go in with his girlfriend.
The former Home Office employee from Warrington has entered the house with his lover, Lisa, but the pair were given a task by Big Brother on arrival to act as though they had never met.
The 42-year-old takes as much pride in his appearance as girlfriend does, and regularly spends over two hours to get ready for a night out.
Mario has changed his name to reinforce his "Italian stallion" alter-ego because so many people say he looks like Sylvester Stallone. In truth, he has no actual link to Italy but he does say his favorite 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-year-old, and he claims to have slept with over 200 women.
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.
