'The show is going to be therapy for me, and it's going to be like a fun lovable exposé on the reality of reality TV.
'I want to tell people why I find it really odd that people take pictures of me grocery shopping,' he said at the event.

The reality TV star has been open about his on-going battle with depression and said of the incident which saw him admitted to hospital, 'I'd been strong for too long, it's really hard to explain something that's so irrational and a lot of it I can't remember.'
The Brisbane local described recent events as 'tough'.
'The only saving grace is I've always been when open about depression and anxiety so that has made things easier, in so far as it wasn't shocking so far as in the events.

'But, I'm very aware that when you're in the public eye, when people do follow you, it becomes a teachable moment for people who are watching you in the way you face and deal with your challenges.
'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.'
At the time of the tragic event he uploaded an image of his hospital wristband with the message: 'Thank you to all the staff at Royal Brisbane' alongside the hashtags 'depression' 'anxiety' and 'overdose'.
The TV star has been taking small steps along the road to recovery and says support from his family and friends, as well as humour has helped him move forward.

He told AAP he's had very little contact with Channel Nine the network that hosts Big Brother since starring in the show, learning second hand that his time working for the channel had been terminated.

Possibly his mental illness and terrible childhood make him a slightly damaged person that you can't relate to?I'm sorry, I know I'll cop it BUT Ben freaks me out. I still see him as a big baby Mummy's boy.
OMG Tahan is simply the most stunning girl.
At Thansgiving someone brought one to take photos. They are very popular with Asian tourists in eastern Europe, according to her ( she lives in Vienna) I expect everyone will have one soon if just for group shots.It's how we took our group shots of all the HMs before finale .. I have one
I have both those experiences and more. Maybe if I met him in person his personality would shine through, perhaps I should see his show!Possibly his mental illness and terrible childhood make him a slightly damaged person that you can't relate to?
Is that Ben or Sam? Maybe you mean Ben because he is a vegetarian so asparagus syndrome would fit.Surely hes been diagnosed with asparagus syndrome?
