Stout later became a spokesman for the Hall of Clestrain in the BBC television seriesRestoration, and has also co-presented the BBC Scotland series Teen Commandments in 2004 with Edith Bowman. He has also stood in for Robbie Shepherd on BBC Radio Scotland.

Stout writes regular columns for The Sunday Post and the Aberdeen Evening Express, plus a guest column for The Sunday Post, when Big Brother is on air in the UK. He has appeared in pantomime in Aberdeen and Glasgow and is involved with various charitable events.

In 2004, Stromness Museum opened an exhibition about Stout's times in the Big Brother house. Objects included in the display include his letter of acceptance and his suitcase.

In January 2008 Stout was preparing for an overland trip to China, called Paisley - Peking, with Alex Richards. They aimed to use the trip as a fund-raiser for the Glasgow-based charity, Sanctuary in the City.
