The latest series of Big Brother is officially well underway after hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best welcomed 16 brand new housemates into the most famous house in Britain and someone who we’ve definitely got our eye on is Dean Smith.
Dean was the latest housemate to walk through those doors, but he certainly made an impact in his VT when he warned, ‘Don’t piss me off. I’ll say what I want to say and how I feel at the time, regardless of who’s in the room.’
But despite showing his fierce side, Dean also insisted he’s a ‘big softie’ deep down. ‘I’m caring, loving and have a massive heart,’ he said.
