BB star Marcus wins immunity from live nominations

Brentford's Marcus Akin has another week in the Big Brother house after winning immunity from nomination.

Wolverine lookalike Marcus, 35, has been saved from facing the public vote after Siavash bestowed a knighthood on his best pal in the house.

As the carpenter's popularity increases, friends of the mullet-loving singleton were asked to appear on Big Brother's Little Brother to get their hair cut into Marcus' trademark style.

But camera crews had to pull out of filming at Brentford hairdressers Jeffrey's, in Albany Parade, as no pals of Marcus had long enough locks.

A BBLB producer even called the Hounslow and Brentford Times looking for volunteers and revealed plans to take the appeal nationwide.

BBLB is now looking for anyone who fancies a mullet -complete with long sideburns - to get in touch and get their hair tamed by Marcus' barber of more than 10 years, Roger Poole.

On the official Big Brother site it said: "Are you stuck in a rut? Fancy a new do? Then BBLB may have the answer. We’ve got Marcus’s barber ready and on hand to give one lucky viewer a makeover like his most famous client, live in the studio.

"To be in with a chance of getting his unique look you need to have long hair below your shoulders, and an overwhelming urge to have your hair cut like Marcus. If we think you are worthy, you too could be sporting this summer’s must-have hairdo."

Fans have been speculating whether Marcus, who once set fire to his own face, was getting his claws into Irish beauty Noirin after the pair were spotted getting close in the most talked the house.
