WELCOME!
Welcome to Absolutely
Brian,
the official website of TV presenter Brian Dowling!
Since winning Big Brother Series 2 in 2001 Brian has never looked back - going on to become an established TV/Radio presenter, voice over artist, corporate host and Panto star. Still universally loved, Brian was voted 'The Nation's Favourite Big Brother Housemate Ever 'by the public in 2005 2007.' In 2010 Brian received the supreme accolade of being voted the fans No1 housemate in C4's last series "Ultimate Big Brother".
Brian would like to thank everyone for their unconditional support over the years, saying he has 'the most amazing and loyal fans in the world'.
During his appearance on 'This Morning' Brian informed everyone that (hopefully) The Mint Vault will be won this evening.
Brian said that they will give an extra clue before the 5 rings game as to whether the final digit is 'odd' or 'even'. If that fails to produce a winner they will then add another digit to the two already given, therefore given callers a 5/1 chance of winning 'The Mint Vault' that stands in excess of £108k
The show this evening promises to be a grand affair with the presenters in suitable evening attire.
Brian is also doing his usual show tomorrow night Friday 12th May.
Brian will be presenting The Mint on Thursday night, Friday night, and Saturday night of this week - 6th/7th/8th May on ITV1 and ITV Play on Freeview Channel 35.
Brian seems to have settled into a shift pattern of presenting the Thurs/Fri/Sat night editions of the show each week, however he will have 1 week in four off.
His nights presenting the show are appearing to be a big draw, and he has a great rapport with his co presenter Beverley French on the weekend editions of the show.
There is a lovely interview with Brian in this week's Reveal magazine, and screenshots from last week's appearance on VH1 are now available to view in our gallery along with screenshots from Brian's appearances on The Mint.

Brian made a brief appearance on the 'Chantelle (CBB winner 2006) Living the Dream' follow-up show. Brian was presenting his weekly slot on the Vernon Kay Radio1 show and Chantelle was a guest on the show.
