The Happy Mondays maracas maestro Tim Westwood - who is hosting the [Pimp My Ride style] show, which airs on Sunday - surprised Bez by turning up at his house to take his tired taxi away.
Celebrity Big Brother winner Bez said of his 17-year-old cab: "It's the ugliest looking wheels you've ever seen. But it's my baby."
The team then spent more than £70,000 and fitted the cab with a 42in plasma screen, six sub-woofers, 13 speakers, a laptop, mixing desk, Xbox, lasers/strobes, smoke machine and a mirrored roof.
The star has now insured it for £50,000 and says: "It's f***ing ace, man. I'm double-pleased with it. I can't wait to be driving it and catch some attention on the road. I'm mad. My cab's mad. That's how I like it. I'm f***ing flabbergasted."
The Observer also spent some time with Bez.
