Why did Dean sign up for Big Brother 2024?

Like a fair few of this year's housemates, Dean has long been a big fan of Big Brother.

"I've wanted to do it from the age of 11 and never had the confidence to do it," he explained. "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.'"

He continued: "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."

At present, it's unclear if Dean has a social media account.

But like all the other housemates, his social media presence will be at a standstill regardless, as all contestants have to put their accounts on private during their time on the show, as per ITV's social media rules.

Big Brother continues Sunday to Friday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
