This believe it or not is Stephen Goddard. He dresses as a woman called Misty, not because of his sexual inclinations, but he does it purely to attract attention. (laughing) Im sorry, Im really really sorry! Just look at this outfit! And the black tights underneath! Why do you think Stephen that dressing up as a woman is going to help you to be famous?

Because its a little bit different, its a little bit wild and it gives me chance to express the extrovert within me. It makes you stand out a bit more

Why do you want to be famous?

Its not really the money, its just to be noticed walking down the street, that is the main thing that drives me

You want people to ask you for your autograph?

Yeah! Yeah baby, yeah baby

Youd like to hear people say its that Misty

Oh yeah!

(laughing)

Somebody told me you said to them in a conversation our researcher had with you that you crave fame more than the air you breathe

Yes

When did you first start to feel like this?

It developed as soon as I left school. I was then free to express myself, (in an American accent) free delve inside and find out who I really am

Why are you talking in an American accent?

(still in American accent) I dont know! Honey It just comes out sometimes!

Well, what do you want to be? Do you have any talent?

Im bursting with talent baby

Yeah I know baby, but what talent?

I think my main talents would lie in presenting. I think maybe I could sit in between you two and do a bit of presenting.

Dressed like that?

Yeah! Why not

(laughing)

We could compete with each other to see who looks best

Be honest, do you think television presenting is easy?

No. I dont think anything in this industry is easy, but the positives far outweigh the negatives
When you go to book signings (pictures shown of Misty with Jo Brand, Graham Norton and Joan Collins) do you secretly hope that its at one of these dos that somebodys going to say you are plucked out of obscurity into celebrity land is that what you hope for?

Of course, but I dont expect to be plucked out of obscurity, I expect to have to work my way to the top

Alright

Didnt you enter the big brother house on a crane?

Err...yeah

But they never showed it did they, cuz they never show intrusions

No

How did you get in?

Well, you can get up the side entrance quite easily

Sorry channel 4!

I came to London one day, I just checked it out and I thought I can do that nobodies done it before, but I dont think I can say much more about that

But you did use a crane? You got dropped in on a crane?

Oh yeah

Misty not only wants to be famous, but also doesnt mind being notorious, he doesnt mind the attention, even if the attention is negative and hes made that quite clear.

Is that true?

Yes

If say, the News of the World or the People or the Sunday Star wrote a really bitchy piece about you. Err, said that you were gay - not that theres anything wrong with that - I know youre not gay. But they said you were gay and that you went to bondage parties, you were a kinky freak.

Is that bad?!

Would you be ok with that?

Of course! Even if its negative publicity its gone after a few days.

So what does that say about him then, her!Misty, Stephen!

Well, very interestingly, Mistys father is the 7th child of 7 children and even he would say that he would always have to be fighting for attention and I think Misty has inherited these traits and the desire for attention.

Well, we call you Misty - youre Stephen really. Lets look at you arriving earlier today. Wouldnt you rather be as famous as you?

Either. That is gorgeous (pointing at a picture of Stephen) and this is fabulous and wonderful

(laughing) Well I must say, youve got the first requisite of celebrity in the sense that you obviously believe deeply in yourself, but I mean you have to have a hide like a rhinoceros.

Well, look, good luck to you. But I must say that it is important to be famous for something. I remember one person saying that he wants to be famous because he doesnt want to work anymore - but you have to work!

Of course. Can I just clarify, that is not how I feel.

Cuz youd do anything wouldnt you? Youd pogo stick up Everest

I would do anything

The worry we have now is that there are a lot of TV producers out there who are happy to exploit people just to make a good show

Exploit me

(laughing) Well, good luck to you and thanks for coming on
