COVENTRY'S Big Brother star Bex Shiner entertained an intrigued audience about her life in and out of the famous reality TV house and revealed she'd do anything for money.

The former city nursery nurse, who was catapulted to stardom while on the reality Channel 4 series last year, gave a frank account of her surreal experience.

Her talk formed part of the Coventry Conversations series and the 22-year-old followed in the footsteps of high profile personalities such as TV news presenter Jon Snow, who appeared to speak last month.

During the hour-long session, Bex admitted she earned pounds 100,000 in the first year of being voted out of the house, but has now returned to Coventry to live with her mum and is hosting Ann Summers lingerie parties to earn cash.

The self-confessed exhibitionist also revealed she has just had the names of the X Factor twins John and Edward, also known as Jedward, tattooed on her bottom.

It came after she announced on Twitter that she would get the tattoo done if she secured more than 11,000 followers on the social networking site.

"I would get any name tattooed on my bottom, if you paid the right price," she said.

John Mair, senior lecturer, introduced her as "Coventry's proudest export of the past two years" after footage of her Big Brother best bits was shown.

The montage included one of the many occasions when Bex paraded around the house topless.

The question everyone was keen to ask was about her relationship with fellow Big Brother contestant Luke Marsden, with whom she used to share a flat in London when the pair left the Big Brother house.

Luke is now living at home in Wigan, and Bex claims they are still together although they are "drifting apart" due to the long distance between them.

"I like to go out and get drunk but he stays in and reads books. I don't really get on with that," she added.

Bex also revealed how she has returned to Coventry to live with her mum in Coundon when the showbiz work dried up in March.

She is now hosting Ann Summers lingerie parties, cashing in on her name to secure bookings from famous people.

Bex has most recently entertained Wayne Rooney's cousins and is to host a party for the Hollyoaks cast. While she has secured much publicity, Bex confessed her dream of posing topless for a tabloid or lads magazine has so far not come true. She said an offer of pounds 10,000 from a Nuts magazine was turned down by her agent because it wasn't enough.

She earned pounds 32,000 in the first 24 hours after being evicted from the house, which she admits she blew in a week on clothes, handbags, two chihuahuas and a TV, most of which she had to sell before moving back in with her mum.

Her future plans include appearing on a paranormal show with ghost hunter Derek Acorah and moving to Australia.

Speaking to the Telegraph before her talk, she said: "I never regret doing Big Brother and would love to go in the house again if they brought back some of the house mates from the last series."
