Big Brother's Dean's festival date

Former Big Brother contestant Dean O'Loughlin has been signed up to play at the V2001 music festival in Chelmsford, Essex.

Dean - who showed off his guitar skills during his nine weeks on the Channel 4 show - will play at the two-day event on 18 August.

Also included on the V2001 bill are Texas, Coldplay, Kylie Minogue, Toploader, The Charlatans, David Gray - and many more.

Dean - who made it into the final three on the reality TV show - once had a recording deal with his band L Kage but now plays in an act called Phoney.
