Gay Big Brother winner Brian Dowling says he wants to have kids - using a surrogate mum.

Brian, 27, who won the second series of BB, says his experience looking after his young nieces has convinced him he would be a great father.

And the ex-air steward, set to present quiz show The Mint for digital channel ITV Play, plans to be a single parent when he has found a volunteer to carry his child.

"Biologically I'd like to have my own kid, probably on my own, not in a relationship," he said "So perhaps a friend or somebody that I trust would have the child for me. Or perhaps a surrogate mum. I think I'd be a good dad. I've got two nieces and six sisters so it's definitely in me to be a carer. It's something I definitely want to do at some point."

Brian is to be featured as one of the 'New Queens of Light Entertainment' in a 2 hour Documentary produced by Channel 4.

"Brian Dowling, Graham Norton and Dale Winton talk openly as never before about their private lives, public persona's, and the joys and heartaches of camping it up for a living."

The programme goes out on Channel 4 on July 3rd at 9.50pm
