BIG Brother viewers have branded one contestant ”awful’ as he was booed by the live audience before even entering the house.
Blackpool lad Ryan, 28, ruffled feathers after making a dig at those who self-identify during his introduction VT tonight.
The northerner, who currently lives in Stockport and works in marketing and events, vowed to “shake up” the house in his piece-to-camera.
He said: “I feel like over the recent years, it’s gone a bit tame and people are in there for other motives.
“I think having someone normal like me in there will shake it up.”
But it was when Ryan made his “anti-woke” views clear that fans turned on him.
He said: “I think I’m strong and opinionated. There’s a lot of woke people out there.
“It’s all well and good if you want to use certain pronouns, and I get that, but it gets a bit confusing sometimes with people identifying as a spoon or whatnot.”
Following his entrance interview with hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best, Ryan received some boos from the crowd,
Viewers at home weren’t keen either as they took to social media to make their thoughts clear.
One wrote on X: “Booing Ryan immediately as he deserves mmhmmm good job crowd.”
Someone else added: “Getting bad vibes from Ryan,” with a third agreeing: “Ryan talking about people identifying as spoons. Loserr.”
A fourth fumed: “boo’ing for him already KICK HIM OUT silly t**t i know ur going to be awful.”
The launch show saw 16 new housemates move into the Big Brother house.
Former Page Three girl and soap actress Emma Morgan, 53, is one of them.
She said: “To get this opportunity at my age, I wasn’t expecting it. I was getting ready to put my feet up and do a bit of knitting.”
And amputee footballer Thomas Atkinson, 20, from Carlisle, comes to the house fresh from captaining his side to victory in the FA Disability Cup.
The goalkeeper, who was born without a left hand, was also told he would never walk after having his left leg amputated when he was two.
But he now has a total of 26 caps with the England Amputee national team.
