FORMER Big Brother contestant Dave Graham aka “the gay cowboy” is now a proud dad.

The 36-year-old, who finished third in the reality TV competition in 2006, revealed his exciting news on Nova 100’s Chrissie, Sam & Browny this morning.

“I am now part of the massive club that is the breeding fraternity,” he told the radio hosts.

“I am the proud dad of a little girl since yesterday.”

Graham, who now runs the Farmer Dave Dog Centre in western Sydney, said the process of becoming a dad was “very long” and “very thought out”.

“I met this amazing, amazing lady about five years ago,” he said.

“We were both at a LGBTI young event, where it was all about having a safe place for young people to go and I was speaking at the event. She was in the room and we just clicked. I was in an amazing relationship, she was in an amazing relationship, and the first thing I said to her is I want to have a baby with you.

“She didn’t speak to me, she was a bit gaspy. Then she came up to me at the end of the night and she said, ‘Were you serious about that?’ because she felt the same thing. It was just one of those cosmic things.”

The baby girl, whose name Graham didn’t want to reveal for privacy reasons, was born at 5am yesterday, after some initial troubles.

Dave came out to the other housemates on day four of Big Brother in 2006.

“The mother that was going to carry the baby couldn’t because of this thing and then the other mother was going to have the baby and then she ended up with some complications,” said the former reality TV contestant.

“It worked out whereby it was the eggs of the actual mother that I had the connection with were put inside the other mother.”

Graham told the Nova team that he’ll adopt the role of “special uncle”.
