Big Brother 9 - Mario Marconi
Friday, 6 June 2008
The male half of the first ever summer series Big Brother couple, Mario Marconi takes as much pride in his appearance as girlfriend Lisa does, and regularly spends over two hours to get ready for a night out.
Mario's real name is Shaun, however his "Italian stallion" alter-ego has come about due to so many people saying he looks like Sylvester Stallone. In truth, he has no actual link to Italy but he does say his favourite film is Rocky.
A father of two girls, Mario considers his toned, athletic body to be his best asset. He and girlfriend Lisa are fitness-obsessed and say they have sex at least once every day.
Before Lisa, the Warrington beefcake's romantic past includes having his heart broken by Miss Copenhagen when he was 18, and he claims to have slept with over 200 women.
Mario says he feels strongly about politics, thinks crime laws are too soft and believes there should be a zero-alcohol limit for all drivers.
His life philosophy is that life is long, live it once, once is enough.
His strangest job ever was as a stripping policeman on a myspace advertisement for hot tubs, and if he could be re-incarnated he would like to come back as racing driver Lewis Hamilton.
