Shropshire’s Freddie Fisher today said it had been “weird” adjusting to life outside of the Big Brother house after he was given the boot.

Freddie, from Market Drayton, said he was looking forward to returning to Shropshire but was enjoying himself in the capital, appearing on Big Brother spin-off programmes including Big Brother’s Little Brother.

The 24-year-old also said it was “really cool” meeting Craig Phillips.

Phillips is the Shropshire winner of the first Big Brother series and entered the BB house during the current run.

And Freddie said he would like to see fellow county contestant Kris Donnelly, from Shrewsbury, again.

Freddie said his time in the house was like being on “super super super” fast forward, with the volume turned up to 200 per cent.

He said there were things that happened in the house that he wanted to analyse and understand.

“The way I dealt with being in that weird surreal env- ironment was by embracing every element of it,” he said.

“When I was in the house so many things were very di- fferent to normal life, name- ly that there is no schedule, there is no sense of time really. There is a clock but you are not really very aware of what time it is.

“For me in particular I wasn’t that interested in the tasks and that sort of stuff.

“I was really really interested in the social relationships and the culture of group that we had going.

“I was so immersed in it and I completely allowed myself, encouraged myself, to completely forget about life before I entered that situation and to discourage myself, to tell myself off almost if I ever thought about what might happen after.

“As a result I think I got a lot out of the experience.”

He added: “I would really like to see Kris again.  It would be really nice. We had our differences, we actually did get on rather well towards the end.  It’s very very difficult to describe because he has had the same experience.”

Freddie said he had enjoyed meeting Craig Phillips. “It was really cool actually,” he said. “It felt like Star Wars when Obi-Wan Kenobi comes back as a hologram.”

He said it was “quite surreal” watching his former housemates on the show.
