Brian Dowling says he is back with the love of his life - but he insists ''I'll never have a gay marriage like my pal Elton John." The gay Big Brother winner is back with Belgian dancer Arthur who left him devastated when they split after a series of blazing rows.

As he prepares to host tomorrow's o2 in the Park spectacular, the Irishman revealed: ''We're back together and I've never been so in love.
When Arthur and I split I realised how much he meant to me. I had neglected our relationship because work took everything over. I started calling him a few months ago and we met up a few times for dinner. The chemistry between us was stronger than ever and we both wanted to be back in a relationship''

But while Brian is enjoying the joys of love again, he has no plans to tie the knot and make it official like superstar Elton John who will wed his lover David Furnish later this year. He said '' Elton is a great guy and he always invites me to his parties but marriage isn't for me. Arthur knows I would never want to get married he is fine with that."

Brian was one of the invited guests at the Dukes of Hazzard Regional Premiere which took place at Birmingham's new drive-in movie centre.

With vintage cars and skimpily-clad cowgirls, the film was projected onto a 47ft by 23ft giant outdoor screen while cowboys and cowgirls dished out free food and drink.

Other notables attending the event were Corrie girls Tina O'Brien and Samia Ghadie.

Brian played host last night at the Kremlin Nightclub in Belfast to their ‘Pride’ Prince and Princess contest. The winners of the contest Peter and Cara will grace the Kremlin Float at the forthcoming ‘Pride Parade’, beating 18 other entrants on the night.

The club were full of praise for Brian, saying, “He was a real treat to work with!” Arriving well before the party, he enjoyed a few drinks at their sister bar The Union Street Pub , before going onstage at 12.30am.

After hosting the contest Brian stayed at the club, giving everyone who wanted the opportunity, a chance to have their photograph taken with him.

It was a brilliant night for everyone and Brian had a ball.
