MIGHTY Lisa Appleton is planning an all-night sex fest with lover Mario Marconi – to prove she is all woman.The wannabe Gladiator has been dogged by gossip that she might have had a sex change. She even revealed she had been mistaken for a bloke in the past and admitted: “I was once asked if I was Michael Douglas.”
But after being booted out of the house last night, strapping Lisa insisted: “Trust me. I am all woman. Mario and I have got a lot of catching up to in the bedroom.”
In the first week of the show, Mo Mohamed, 24, was the first to wonder whether Lisa could be a man. He went into the Diary Room and asked Big Brother: “Is she a fella?”
Rex Newmark, 24, also pondered whether the “big-boned” lass might have had a sex change.
And Big Brother fan sites have been buzzing with gossip over whether Lisa, 40, might be a bloke.
Last night, she was sent packing after one of the closest ever eviction votes – polling 52.6% against best pal Sara Folino, 27.
She hugged her housemates and said: “Don't worry about me, I've had a great time… and I'm £25,000 richer.” But she said she did not mind being axed because now she can enjoy passionate sex with lover Mario, 43, and celebrate her surprise windfall.
She walked away with the loot following Wednesday night’s live task which saw her share £50,000 with Aussie babe Sara. Last night Lisa said: “How can I complain? I have more money than I have ever seen in my life and I can see Mario. We’ll be making up for lost time.”
There is even more reason for Lisa to celebrate – she is now engaged after Mario re-entered the house last weekend to pop the question.
And Lisa says she will use some of her prize money to pay for her dream wedding. She said: “I’ve been on cloud nine ever since Mario proposed. I couldn’t believe it when I saw him. He’s made me the happiest woman alive. I can’t believe it’s finally my turn to marry my prince. And now I can have my dream wedding.”
Lisa found herself in the firing line after a face-off on Wednesday when the housemates were forced to nominate in front of each other.
But she was over the moon when she then had to go up against Sara and won £25,000.
The fitness fanatic will be best remembered for being one half of the first couple to ever make it into the house. Their bizarre beauty and exercise regimes became legendary.
Lisa said she was thrilled to start her Big Brother experience with Mario, even if they did have a few rows before he was booted out seven weeks ago. She said: “Any couple would find it hard not to have had a few rows in that house.”
She also said she can understand why Nicole Cammack, 19, found it hard inside the house.
She said: “Nicole obviously had stuff on her mind that she wanted to get off her chest but she couldn’t. I think she handled herself really well. Their arguments were a bit petty but when you are that young you do get insecure about things.”
Mario and Lisa became the butt of jokes as they became known as the show’s biggest bonkers by romping under the covers.
And Lisa, who has a teenage daughter, admitted that it was tough to keep her hands off her man. She added: “Of course we wanted to do what couples do, especially at night when we were lying next to each other. We will be making the most of being alone now.”
Lisa, of Warrington, Cheshire, admits she changed after Mario was booted out because she was allowed to be herself rather than always being thought of as part of a couple.
She explained: “I had a lot of fun, especially with Sara.”
Asked who she wanted to win, she said: “Sara. She is my biggest buddy in the house.”
