Age: 35
From: London
Occupation: Window Fitter
Something that Marcus has not done for 20 years is share a house with someone, let alone 15 fellow housemates.
He describes himself as a big kid in a man's body and exaggerates everything to tell a 'cool story'. Thinks Big Brother will be "like a mini Butlins and a regression into childhood".
Marcus has a Siamese cat who he describes as 'a bit of a b-stard' as he steals money and sabotages plants. People who dislike his hair offend him.
Marcus aims to do as many evening classes as possible and has completed courses in Japanese, interior design, grounds maintenance, health and safety, food safety, first aid, construction and he's currently doing an IT course.
One of the proudest moments in his life was renovating the windows in Windsor Castle. A porn star or toy designer would be his ideal job.

nasty nasty people. dont have a clue. superficial. met him after BB and spent the day with him. He's funny, kind, caring and intelligent. more to say than any of you slaters put together. noirin sucks and is a very spiteful human being. most of you who have slated him cant even spell so that just says it all. poor judgement and ridiculous, pathetic comments. Marcus to rule the world!!!

It saddens me to see a man like Marcus being judged so harshly by a few shallow people who base their opinions on superficial values.
Marcus may be a bit of a victim of his own ego, hype and slight immaturity, but one needn't scratch far beneath the surface to see that he's a man of integrity, perception and honesty with a genuinely good-natured character and kind heart.
His greatest folly was to fail to appreciate the value of working hard in school and getting some decent qualifications under his belt and he is now desperately trying to make up for lost time. He is clearly a bright, hard-workng and enthusiastic man who takes personal respnsibility seriously and has a strong work ethic.
If people seriously think that a shallow, vain, manipulative girl like Noirin was 'above his league' then they are poor judges of character. What on earth does she have apart from her looks? She is an unintelligent, backward thinking chauvinists dream with her 19th century values and narrow minded, bigotry. She was homophobic and judgmental and seriously thought that people who had no desire to bear children had selfish and pointless lives. Thanks to the usual biased editing of the show we were seldom given the opportunity to see this ugly and prejudiced side to her unless we happened to hear one of her backwater opinions on the live feed. The fact that she found Isaac so appealing spoke volumes about her- he was an obnoxious, misogynistic, loud-mouthed bully who saw women as pumpkin-eating, 'houseslaves' and Noirin saw nothing wrong in this.
Marcus is far too good for women like Noirin who spend their lives trading their good looks for social advancement and really have nothing more to offer than their sexuality.
Marcus is an interesting person with more depth, substance and integrity than superficial girls like Noirin could ever hope to gain.
If people judge him based on his appearance and foul language alone, without seeing beneath such insignificant things, then they are very shallow.

I loved Marcus from the begining of the show and he was the one I wanted to win he was always honest and alway found the time to talk to people if they had a problem and always gave good advice. He is my kind of person and would love to meet him

Oh no.........marcus no more,,I watched only to see him!! I thought he was really funny and his heart shone through at times. Some people just did not get the humour. So..dont we all swear,pick our noses,You had to laugh at him in the diary room. Perhaps we dont use the vulgar rudeness to others as much as marcus did, but, he was just being himself... And those who 'understood ' him, would be thinking how funny he was.I think he should have been in the final week!!
By marie from glasgow. Posted September 1 2009 at 12:08 AM.
I luv Marcus! He is hilarious, poking fun at BB and every1 in ther an himself. Just some of the the fings he says crack me up. I especially like the way he doesn't seem to be a fame and prestige hunter, or trying to make everyone like him and win a popularity contest. PLUS he always god things right like saying big brother would put them all up for eviction when they broke the rules. He is just like a comic genius! U done west london proud!!

I adore Marcus- he has integrity- by far the most decent human being in the house- Anyone who thinks different isnt staying up late enough.
Far tooo good for the likes of Noirin and well matched to politely sort out that biatch Bea !!

MARCUS, HAS BEEN A GREAT HOUSE MATE, HE HAS ENTERAINED US ALL SUMMER, THE HOUSE WOULD HAVE BEEN BORING WITHOUT HIM
I THINK PEOPLE FORGET THE GOOD SIDE TO HIM, HE HAS SAT AND TALKED WITH EVERYONE, AND TRYD TO ADVISE THEM WITH THE BEST INTENTIONS,I DONT BLAME HIM FOR TURNING ON SEAVASH, I WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME, YOU DONT DO WHAT HE DID TO FREINDS
MARCUS HAS BEEN HIMSELF WEATHER GOOD OR BAD, I THINK ITS CRUEL TO SAY HE,S FREEKY
HE,S USE TO HIS OWN COMPANY, AND WHO CAN BLAME HIM WITH FREINDS LIKE SEAVASH, HE CAN GET ON WITH MOST PEOPLE AND IS NOT SWAYED BY WEALTH OR POVERTY, HE SPEAKS HOW HE SEE,S IT, AND I LIKE HIM FOT THAT

Anyone who hates Marcus is ignorant and shouldn't be entitled to an opinion. Watch the live shows cos he's always up at like 2 in the morning. He's immature but he's not narcissistic, in fact he's as from it in my opinion. Marcus is a really nice guy who doesn't have a sense of style, but he's almost always right. He chased Noirin not because he's a discusting pervert, but because it was something to do. In the outside world he wouldn't bother. Stop saying he's deluded because he even knows there would only be 99.9 percent chance he's get anywhere with her. I think he's got a better chance than that cos she knows he's a really great bloke, and it would only take the two of them to be drunk and it's be like a 25 percent chance. I think it's discusting that you lot judge him because of his hair etc... AND he's the first housemate EVER to have the balls to stand up to Big Brother. He was 100 percent correct in saying that by calling him in for immitating Sree's dialect NOT HIS culture or accent made THEM hypocritical because they wouldn't call him in from taking the mick out of a brummie accent or Irish accent. How do you people not get that he says what's on his mind, and tells things like it is? Are you really that stupid? Are you really too thick to see that he is a nice bloke, he just doesn't take anything seriously because he's already got a decent job etc so there isn't any real point? Not taking things too seriously is being confused with immaturity which is wrong.
By Baggaz. Posted August 7 2009 at 11:15 PM.
I think you're all being a bit harsh. Theres nothing wrong with being different and its all of you who are being vile calling him perverted and Wolverine etc. ..... Only joking! he is a bit freaky lol! had you all going there, didn't I?

By pedro. Posted July 30 2009 at 1:10 PM.
Marcus is a narcissistic moron. Hes very controlling and totally deluded... he clearly lives alone with little normal interraction with adults. Have you ever seen any man chase a woman clearly out of his league with such vengeance? Hes quite a worry really, I can imagine having to take out orders against him. Oh and no it was a bloody toad. What a total nutter! Lets hope he leaves to rotten eggs.
By Jan. Posted July 28 2009 at 1:39 AM.
He hasn't shared a house for 20 years? He lives with his mum still!
By Geoff Hinsliff. Posted July 26 2009 at 8:15 PM.
marcus is very insecure, and his reaction shows that if he can't have Noirin, no one else will
By Ciaran O'Hare. Posted July 26 2009 at 4:57 PM.
Marcus is sooooo funny
By Daley. Posted July 26 2009 at 2:28 PM.
i HATE marcus with a passion :@:@

By jordan. Posted July 14 2009 at 4:45 PM.
Can someone ask Marcus where he buys his mirrors please?. His are obviously magic ones as they tell him hes "the dogs". i personally think hes " a dog". Hes a vile ,pervy , self opinionated freak who need to wake up and smell the coffee. Makes my skin crawl every time i have to watch him on screen. yuk!COOL? naaaaaaaaaa .my 2 year old grandson is cool not MARCUS.ill be dialling to get his sorry backside out friday .
By bigcaz. Posted July 10 2009 at 12:05 AM.
I think he's hysterical, the way he thinks he's so cool and has no idea how ridiculous he looks with that revolting hair and his white vests. Who the hell was stupid enough to say he looked like wolverine! In his dreams! And the way he thinks he knows everything is ... well, just like him, pretty pathetic really.
By minnie. Posted June 24 2009 at 5:22 PM.
