Meet Big Brother contestant Jenkin

BIG Brother has finally returned and 16 housemates have gone into the famous TV house for the new series.

Jenkin is one of the contestants who has joined the 20th season of the ITV series.

Who is Jenkin?

Jenkin hails from Bridgend and is the first contestant to enter the Big Brother house.

He is 25 years old and works as a barman.

"I'm not the only gay in the village, I'm the best one," he said in his VT.

Asked why he decided to join Big Brother, he added: "I was bored and I thought I'd do something different, give it a whirl."

The Welsh native is most looking forward to "meeting new people" but dreading it at the same time.

He has already warned viewers that he could get on the wrong side of his fellow housemates if he lets his tongue wag too much.

"He admitted. I love a bit of a goss.

"I can't help myself to be a little bit of an instigator. I like bringing the drams."

He also joked that his dream housemate would be Queen of Clean Kim Woodburn as she’d do all the housework.

Revealing how he'd spend his £100,000 prize if he were to win the show, he said: "I'd pay my dad's house off and then do a giant online shopping order."

"If you wouldn't say anything to them in person, please watch out what you say to them online."
