This year’s Big Brother has left us with so many questions… Will Jordan Sangha and Henry Southan’s friendship ever turn into a romance? Can the housemates put a shopping list together without arguing? Is there a better presenting duo than AJ Odudu and Will Best?

The answer to that last one is a firm no, btw. We’re obsessed with Slay-J and Will.

But the big question that’s, frankly, been keeping us up at night is: why the ruddy hell does Paul Blackburn never have a top on?

Let’s be honest, Paul is very easy on the eyes so we’re not exactly complaining. But, at this stage, we’re starting to question whether he even brought any t-shirts into the house with him.

We’re not the only ones wondering the same thing either. One Big Brother viewer recently took to social media to joke, “Someone get Paul a top, I’ll personally pay for it,” while another pondered, “How warm is the Big Brother house if Olivia is in a sparkly bikini top and Paul’s always topless? Their heating bill must be HUGE.”

A third remarked, “Is Paul allergic to shirts or something? Oh my days, get a top on.”

Well, Big Bro fans, we’ve finally got some answers and it turns out Paul… loves being naked. That’s accord to evicted housemate Zak Srakaew.

We recently caught up with Zak after he was sent packing and, of course, we had to ask why Paul’s always topless. Trust heat to ask all the big questions, folks.

Zak explained, “Paul says that when he’s at home with his family or his grandad he’s always walking around in boxers or shorts and that’s just who he is.

“He loves just being naked and he loves walking around comfortable. He doesn’t really care.

“He says unless he’s got something to do or somewhere to be, you’ll never catch him with clothes on.”

Riiiight… well, we guess being topless is the next best thing if you can’t walk around in the nuddy. That would be a VERY different TV show.

Zak also lifted the lid on Paul’s friendship with Olivia Young after viewers spotted a potential spark between them. However, there’s a plot twist: Paul has a girlfriend on the outside world – and apparently, she looks just like Olivia.

“I feel like they do have a little flirt here and there, but Olivia knows Paul’s got a girlfriend, so she’s taking a step back. But I do know if Paul was single in there, he’d definitely be all over her like boyfriend and girlfriend,” Zak said.

“He’s got a picture of his Mrs beside his bed and she’s basically Olivia, but in a different form. He definitely has a type – blonde hair, cute, smile. Olivia is his type to a tee… and the way he looks at her.”

Ooh err, it’s giving Steph Davies and Jeremy McConnell CBB 2017 vibes.
