Nicholas "Nick" Bateman, also known as "Nasty Nick", is a British media personality and a former contestant on the first series of the British version of Big Brother.
Nick Bateman grew up in Kent.
He worked in the City of London as a broker before taking part in Big Brother.
Nick Bateman first came to public prominence as a contestant on the first series of the UK version of Big Brother. He was one of 40,000 people that applied to be in the first series of Big Brother in the United Kingdom in 2000. During his stay at the Big Brother house, he was the only contestant never to receive a single eviction nomination. However, he was soon dubbed "Nasty Nick" by the tabloid press because of his duplicitous nature, playing members off against one another. After 36 days he was finally exposed by the other housemates after being tipped off by producers, who confronted him over his behaviour and also uncovered his attempts to manipulate fellow housemates' votes in the weekly eviction process, in violation of Big Brother rules. He was asked to leave by the show's producers.
After his departure from the show, Nick enjoyed huge media exposure. He went on to present the television show Trust Me. He wrote a book entitled Nasty Nick: How to be a Right Bastard. He has also featured in the reality television series Back to Reality.
In 2010, Nick returned to the Big Brother house to compete in Ultimate Big Brother, the final series of Big Brother on Channel 4. He finished in fifth place, becoming the only contestant ever to be there for the first and last day of the programme on Channel 4.
Nick has appeared in pantomimes.
