Big Brother is NOT playing this year; if he's not locking housemates up in cages in the pouring rain, he's blowing up their personal belongings. He's also not going soft on the evictions; if the public vote you out, you're OUT. Evictees don't even get a live interview on the main show anymore – they're shooed off to Big Brother: Late & Live and that's that the last we hear from them.

One housemate who has sadly already faced this cruel fate is hunky ASOS and BoohooMan model Zak Srakaew.

Upon leaving the house, heatworld managed to pull Zak for a quick chat (sorry, wrong show) and we have to say, it was surprisingly juicy (we'll confess, we thought he was all fence-sitting and Zoolander poses). Not only did he blast the housemate who "sabotaged" his chances in the Big Brother House, but he exposed the housemate who is definitely playing a game (and no, it's not Kerry Riches - although he wasn't exactly a fan of the House Mother either).

Where is Zak Srakaew from?

Can you not tell by the northern dulcet tones? Zak is from Manchester, although he was born and spent much of his childhood in Thailand.

He explains, "I actually grew up in the jungle in Thailand. People automatically think I grew up in Manchester but when I tell them my life story they are quite surprised. When I was a kid I used to collect snakes and everything."

The 2023 housemate reckons his fam would describe him as "cheeky, funny, and caring".

What does Zak Srakaew do?

He is a model. Please keep up.

Before entering the house, Zak added that he feared his fellow BB housemates might have misconceptions about him due to his career.

"People might judge me because I’m a model," he revealed, "People often have a misconception but I'm a council estate boy. I'm not like a typical model, I'm a down to earth guy. People assume I’m arrogant but when they actually get to know me I’ve got a lot more to offer."

Does Zak Srakaew have Instagram?

You can find Zak on Instagram at @zakyeah, where he already has 126,000 followers. Now he's out of the house his account is no longer private, so go on, indulge.
