===Avid Merrion===
First appearing on ''[[Whatever I Want]]'', Avid Merrion, played by [[Leigh Francis]], is the main [[protagonist]] of the series. He is obsessed with celebrities and [[stalking|stalks]] them, after he grew up to become the number one celebrity super fan in the world. Originating from the small town of Arachnipuss near [[Transylvania]], Avid was born to a father who was a [[Dracula]]-[[celebrity impersonator|impersonating]] [[striptease|stripper]]. Avid lives in a flat in [[London]], with his dead mother, whom he keeps in the cupboard, and [[Craig Phillips]], winner of the first series of ''[[Big Brother (UK TV series)|Big Brother UK]]'', whom he keeps chained up in the toilet. With his slurred and broken English, a ginger [[Mullet (haircut)|mullet]], [[eccentricity (behavior)|eccentricity]], [[bisexuality]], peculiar [[Sexual fetishism|sexual fetishes]], poor social skills and obsession with showbiz figures, he became known as one of the scariest celebrity stalkers. He wears a [[neck brace]] which he says is due to an encounter with [[Liza Tarbuck]]. He spends most of his time harassing celebrities at functions such as [[book signing]]s or film [[première]]s, highlights of which are shown throughout the first two series. Due to his nature, he became noticed by the media during the third series of ''Big Brother'', after he repeatedly attempted to break into the house to get closer to the house mates. By the third series of this show, his newly elevated status in pop culture allowed him to talk one-on-one with celebrities, rather than stalking them. His segments in the series were transformed into his own [[chat show]]. In ''Bo! in the USA'', Avid has given up his job as a chat show host, and now owns a hotel in [[Los Angeles]], where many celebrities come to stay.
