In it for the long haul! They've only been out of the Big Brother house for a week, but Travis Lunardi and his new girlfriend Aisha McKinnon have already kick-started the baby-making process - at the request of his mother
'I'm already trying to knock her up,' he revealed. Mum's always pressuring me because she wants to be a grandmother.
'I've got two brothers and I think she thinks I'm her best chance to be a grandmother now,' the 24-year-old said while sitting by Aisha's side.
'I'm just trying to be a good boy to my mummy and give her babies. Aisha's slapping me on the knee right now saying "you wish!", but I'm definitely hoping for a baby by next year. I want to be a young daddy.'
However, at just 22, Aisha is keen to take things slow considering their new found fame.
'For the first time in my life, my private life isn't so private anymore...I guess kids are definitely way, way into the future - I haven't really thought about that.'
And who would have thought that the rough and tumble boy's boy with an obsession for AFL had a romantic side.

Aisha and Travis forfeit $50k to stay in Big Brother house...
Despite living in different states, Travis is keen to show his chivalrous side, making up for the three-weeks the pair were apart following Aisha's eviction.
'I was lying in my bed at 9:30 at night and then my phone rang,' Aisha gushed.
'It was him, and he was like, "oh hi, what are you doing?", and I said "just lying in bed, what are you doing?", and he said, "I'm at your front door".
'I ran down stairs and he was there with a bottle of red.'
The handsome corporate guy had flown from Melbourne to Sydney after spending two-days with family and friends, because he missed his Kiwi-born girl too much.
'I was in Melbourne for about two days but I missed Aisha.'

And on coming close to snatching the coveted prize money to winner, Ryan Ginns?
'She's worth more than $200,000.'
Speaking with DMA following the Big Brother finale last Wednesday, he said he was hoping to convince Aisha to move from Sydney to Melbourne so they can be together.
'She's living in Sydney and I'm in Melbourne so that's one thing we're going to have to come together and have a bit of an arm wrestle and see who comes out on top,' he said.
'I'm always rooting for Melbourne over Sydney. I suppose I'll invite her over and try to woo her with the city of Melbourne and hopefully she'll come down.

'I love Melbourne but I also love Aisha so we'll see what happens.'
While he was still confined to the Big Brother set, Travis' mother took the liberty of visiting his new girlfriend for a glass of champagne.
'It was weird actually because usually I'd be the one to introduce the new girl in your life to your mother but my mother took it on her own accord,' he said of their meeting.
'My family have definitely accepted her into the family as one of their own already, so hopefully it doesn't scare her off because my family are a little crazy,' he added. 'But I suppose so am I and that's what she loves about me!'
Never tear us apart! The couple were reunited following three weeks apart at last Wednesday's Big Brother finale

'It's really tough when mental health is such a private and inner kind of thing and you're living it in such a public kind of way, yeah it was an added pressure.'

John looks more like Brains in the Thunderbirds.chardlocal
Now
Guys - I found a much better Potter lookalike! It's my housemate John. But we call him Errol, as in the Weasley's owl. His glasses are circular, his hair is the correct colour - and he uses a skateboard, so that's basically the same as Quidditch?? I'm glad that's sorted. #notme #betterpotter #harrywho #lookoverthere #graspingatstraws #BBAU #RichardBBAU
