knew about Preston because my wife watches Celebrity Big Brother, but he looked like he was in a mood from the minute he walked on.
I don't know why he stormed off. The whole show is basically a mickey-take, so he must have realised that was what he was letting himself in for.
At first I thought it was part of the show, like it had been staged or something.
I expected him to come back but, when he didn't, one of the team captains, Bill Bailey, said: "Well, is there anyone in the crowd who looks like him?"
Now, I don't look like Preston at all, but my wife and her sister just started pointing at me.
I tried to hide behind the person in front of me, but Bill Bailey ran up and grabbed me.
I didn't put up a fight, I just thought: "What the hell, I'll go down and see what happens".
They just sat me down. A woman came over and put a mic on me straight away. A couple of minutes later she came over again and I had to ask: "Do you really want me to stay?"
I'd been put on a team with Phill Jupitus and Ed Byrne, which was a bit intimidating. But they were brilliant, to be fair. Really nice to me.
They kept trying to involve me but I didn't know what to do or what to say. I was too busy looking around at everything that was going on, so I wasn't really with it.
Simon asked me one of the questions where you have to say the next line of a song, and I got completely the wrong words. It wasn't that I didn't have a clue, but I was too busy laughing.
Afterwards, they dragged my wife, my sister-in-law and her fiance down to the green room, where they made me sign some paperwork.
They wanted us to stay but we couldn't because we have a six-month-old baby and my mother was at home looking after it.
I didn't get a single question right all night. I probably did look an absolute fool, but it was worth it for the experience.

It's been suggested that it was a set up by Preston to gain publicity. The fact that he looked annoyed from the outset would back that up
If thats true then he certainly doesn't deserve any publicity whatsoever.

Strange innit. he's done popworld with Amstell and Buzzcocks with Lamaar and Phil Jupitas is a good friend of Prestons. I reckon he was on a comedown from all those sleeping pills the day that show was recorded. Oddly Mr. Hellfire sided with Preston ( that is a first as Mr. H has never had anyything good to say about him before now)

In your opinion I think he's gross, and I certainly don't think he's "purty" with a personality and lack of a sense of humour like his
Thankfully SA took him to task

I sense you didn't spot the word 'substitute' in Barney's post.
[Edit: Barney beat me to it.]
A nice touch that Ed's name was on the credits at the end, down as 'Special Guest'.

Overnights - programme got 2.3million. I enjoyed it but thought the previous edition with Donny Tourette was far funnier. It was notable when Preston got up (after far less provacation than we'd been led to believe) Simon Amstell briefly drops out of character and says something like "we're only have a laugh"!
