We’re over a week into the ITV2 reboot of Big Brother – hosted by the iconic AJ Odudu and her BFF Will Best – and we have to say, we’re loving it so far.
There’s just something about BB that sets it apart from all the other reality shows like Love Island and Made in Chelsea. It is the OG after all.
16 contestants entered the Big Brother 2023 house on Sunday 8 October, and ever since then it’s been chaotic to say the least. We’ve witnessed Farida Khalifa and Kerry Riches butt heads (before Farida was sadly evicted), countless arguments over food and more than a few diary room meltdowns.
One housemate has remained relatively drama free is Matty Simpson, who viewers have described as a “ray of sunshine”.
The happy-go-lucky doctor, who branded himself a “hippie” before entering the house, has been getting on with everyone – but how long will that last? Not very long, if we know Big Brother and we KNOW Big Brother.
Here’s everything you need to know about him?

Describing how their relationship works, he told fellow housemate Olivia Young, “The way that you're looking at it is as if an open relationship is to prevent cheating so that no one gets hurt but if you switch your perspective, an open relationship gives you the freedom to pursue other people instead of the preventative of cheating.”
He added, “At the core of our relationship we just want each other to be happy.”
