BIG Brother star Mario Mugan was mobbed by fans when he returned to a Southend fun park where he worked as a teenager.

Mario, who still lives in Southend, worked in the food court at seafront attraction Adventure Island for the summer after he finished his GCSEs.

He took fellow Big Brother 2010 contestants Corin Forshaw, 29, Gloria Ifeoluma “Ife” Kuku, 26, and Andrew Edmonds, 20, to the fun park on Saturday, as part of his 29th birthday celebrations.

They signed autographs and posed for photos with hundreds of thrilled young fans.
