Big Brother 8
Belo entered the Big Brother house on 15 June 2007, alongside Billi Bhatti, Jonathan Durden and Liam McGough. He was noted for his apparent ignorance in regards to William Shakespeare, claiming that he had never heard of the playwright. As Belo entered the final week of the competition, it was speculated that he would come in second place behind Sam and Amanda Marchant; Ladbrokes placed the Marchant twins as favourites at 2/7 and Belo at 5/2. However, Belo was announced as the winner of the series on 31 August 2007 with 60% of the vote to win. Belo is the youngest winner of the programme.
Post Big Brother
Less than a month after leaving the programme, Belo made his stage debut as the Guardian Angel in The Vegemite Tales opposite Jonathon Dutton and Blair McDonough at The Venue off Leicester Square. Belo then made a cameo appearance in the 20 November 2007 episode of Hollyoaks; he expressed his enjoyment of the programme whilst in Big Brother. Belo later became a regular on the ITV1 comedy show Harry Hill's TV Burp, where he gives his thoughts on the week's television. Along with Harry, he sings, "Ebony. And Ivory. Side by side by the piano keyboard. Oh Lord, why don't we . . . ", and Harry sprayed him with a stinger. Belo returned to the Big Brother franchise when making a brief appearance in E4's Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack, in which Radio DJ Chris Moyles had sent him into the house to surprise the housemates. Belo performed segments of Shakespeare’s plays as part of Stratford-upon-Avon's Shakespeare Aloud initiative in March 2008 in order to bring the works to a wider audience. In July 2008, he released a single, entitled Essex Boy, which failed to chart. In October 2008, Belo appeared in TV horror series Dead Set, both as himself and as a zombie. From June 2009 onwards, Belo became a columnist for Heat Magazine's website, documenting the events of the tenth series of Big Brother and he also holds a regular slot on Big Brother's Big Mouth. In order to commemorate the tenth year of Big Brother, Belo temporarily returned to the house in July 2009 to participate in a task alongside Charlie Drummond, as he was struggling to find employment. In October 2010, Belo appeared on Gayle Tuesday: The Comeback, as Tuesday had made his likeness onto a potato on Can't Stand the Heat.
Big Brother 16
On 12 June 2015 (Day 32), Belo returned to the Big Brother House via the "Timebomb Bunker" as part of a "Time Warp" week twist. He was sent in with other former housemates; Big Brother 15 winner Helen Wood and Big Brother 7 finalist Nikki Grahame. They all later entered the Main House on Day 34. Belo's stay in the House was surrounded in controversy, mainly due to the heated arguments between him and fellow "Time Warp" housemate, Helen Wood. He voluntarily left on 23 June 2015 (Day 43) by climbing out of the House after an explosive argument with Wood.
