Big Brother Series 2

Josh

So now we know what a fluffer is. But how did Josh know the meaning?

A video of Josh Rafter starkers was shown at a gay festival - in a bid to win support from gay fans.

Josh made the video before he was voted into the television house - and its existence was revealed as housemates Stuart Hosking and Paul Clarke were nominated for eviction. It was screened at the annual Mardi Gras festival in Finsbury Park, North London, on 30th June. A festival source said: "Josh knew that if he entered the house he would become a gay icon so he wanted to say hello to the community. In the video he urges everyone to vote to keep him in the house. Josh is an extrovert guy who is proud of his muscular body."

The film was shot on the roof of Josh's gay housing bureau in Soho, Central London. A placard on the bits Big Brother does not broadcast has the firm's name.

Josh flopped in a show task because he woke up sexually aroused. He told Brian his randy state meant he couldn�t get out of bed to dance the conga.

He said he had "red shorts syndrome" referring to Tom's reshaped shorts in last year's show after Tom became excited while being massaged by Mel. Afterwards all the housemates were hit with a stiff penalty because he missed the task's start: their food budget was cut.
