BIG Brother fans have been left confused as a housemate ‘went missing’ just one episode into the new series.
This year’s 16 contestants entered the Big Brother house for Season 26 on Sunday night and now more than half are facing eviction.
The line-up of new BB stars includes King Charles’ former butler, a barber, and a girl who works in a Chinese restaurant.
And another contestant amongst them is Dean – but fans have complained that he’s ‘gone missing’ and has been given ‘no air time.’
Dean is a 35-year-old barber who hails from East London.
He has now ditched cutting hair and trimming beards to take part in Big Brother 2024
Before entering the house, Dean said: “I’m going to bring good energy, good vibes, some fun, some love, some charismatic charm.
“I’m just going to be me and that’s the only thing I know how to do.”
But since entering, he’s barely been seen on screen which has led viewers to take to social media to question his whereabouts.
One person penned: “We’re really not seeing much of Dean – We need to see more L Let us see Dean Big Brother.”
A second person added: “I really like Dean but we need to see more of him in the highlights please?”
Someone else questioned: “Has Dean gone missing Big Brother?” and a fourth added: “Didn’t even seen Dean after he entered, is he this year’s Matty?”
Speaking about why he wanted to be on the OG reality show, Dean told ITV: “I’ve been a fan for the longest time.
“I’ve wanted to do it from the age of 11 and never had the confidence to do it.
“As I got older, I was still obsessed with the show and as soon as it came back it was ‘this is my time to apply’.
“I really want to have a great time and experience everything that Big Brother has to offer – the highs, the lows, the good, the bad, the fun, the not so fun. I want it all.”
A brand new batch of Big Brother housemates are living it up in the famous compound.
Meet the cast of the 2024 series:
The Sun revealed how in 2014, Dean starred in Channel 4’s The Island with Bear Grylls.
The reality show sees contestants placed on remote island as a test of their survival skills.
Dean lived completely alone as he filmed himself on the island.
All he had to survive with was the clothes he was wearing, and basic tools and training.
Viewers saw him live on the uninhabited island of Isla Gibraleón, which is one of the Pearl Islands off the coast of Panama.
Fast forward a decade, and Dean is hoping for a second chance at fame on Big Brother – so long as viewers can see more of him on their screens.
