Mikey- From BB9 To Glasgow North East MP?

November 5, 2009

I have only just found out that Mikey Hughes, runner up on Big Brother 9 in 2008, is standing as an independent candidate in the Glasgow North East by election, which is to be held on November 12th.

His short profile on the BBC News website reads:

Glasgow North East – Mikey Hughes

The 35-year-old former Big Brother runner-up, who is from Ayrshire, is currently working as a presenter for Insight Radio.

Mr Hughes has been blind since an operation went wrong in 1998.

He has said he wants to become “the next David Blunkett”, and has pledged to focus on representing those with disabilities, impairments and health problems.

Of course I realise that there was much more chance of him winning Big Brother than there is of him even coming close to winning this election, but he still has my full support and best wishes, as always, and I hope the fame he achieved on Big Brother will be useful to him in the election.

I wonder why his campaign wasn’t given more publicity? I wish it had been.
