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'.
Brian has been to the Big Brother studios today to film with Zig and Zag for a forthcoming edition Big Brother's Little Brother. At this moment in time Brian isn't certain if it is for tomorrow's show or for for one in the near future.
Here are some pics of Brian with Zig & Zag and with the "Shabby Puppet" used in a recent Big Brother task.
Brian is set to take over the 'Save and Replace' task on Wednesday 7th July 2010 when Channel 4's 'Five O'Clock Show' links up live to the compound. The former BB2 winner will cause a stir on Wednesday when the Big Brother compound is linked live to the C4 show - which this week is fronted by Vernon Kay. Brian as a special guest will also chat with Vernon, as well as playing a Cameo role in this week's "Save and Replace" task.
Brian has done a number of interviews relating to this "The Final Year of Big Brother":

Contrary to reports in the media today Brian has totally refuted the claim that he has turned down an invitation to take part in the Big Brother Ultimate Housemate show that begins on August 24th.
As at this moment in time Brian has yet to be asked to be one of the housemates invited back to take part in the show.
