Big Brother

Before the contest, Stout had worked as a fish trader for an American company in Orkney in Scotland. Stout was known for his strong evangelical Christian beliefs and was proud in admitting his virginity. For this, and his belief that sex should only take place within marriage, he was mocked by the British tabloid press as a 'bible basher'. Whilst sewing a shamrock — a symbol of Ireland — Stout was heard whistling "The Sash". [ [http://forum.digitalspy.co.uk/board/showthread.php?t=73749&page=1 Digitalspy blogspot] ]

During his time in the Big Brother house Cameron was involved in a swap with the Big Brother Africa house. He swapped places with Big Brother Africa housemate Gaetano Kagwa.
