Shabby - John James

John James

John James Parton (born 1985) was age 25, an ex-vehicle body builder from Melbourne, Australia. He was born to parents from the United Kingdom. Parton was single on entering the house and lives with his mother. He once had his name changed to Achilles, but later had it changed back. His father, also called John, died in a work accident when a steel frame in the factory he was working on collapsed in high winds in April 2008. John James became close to fellow housemate Josie Gibson and since leaving the house they confirmed their boyfriend/girlfriend status and lived together in London. He was evicted on Day 73 with 34.2% of the public vote. On 28 March 2011 it was announced in OK! that John James and Josie's relationship wasn't working and the pair were taking a break. John James had already returned home to his native Australia when the article was published. On 4 April 2011 Josie confirmed on Twitter that "JJJ" (as the pair were branded by fans) were "no more". She stated: "Its done guys. No more jjj. Sorry. Looks like OK were right. X"
