Brentford's BB celeb Marcus Akin "is the entertainment" say pals

Friends of Brentford’s best mullet Marcus Akin are pushing for the public to keep their Wolverine where he belongs -in the BB house.

Lovelorn Marcus could be back Brentford by tomorrow after it was announced the mullet loving window fitter and former love interest Noirin are up for the chop.

But pals of the hairy 35-year-old, who viewers watched woo Noirin before she canoodled with best pal Siavash, say their very own karate champion is the one who should stay as retail manager Noirin is cramping his style.

Best pal Helen Green said: "He is the entertainment. It's as simple as that. It's no co-incidence that he gets so much camera time in the highlight show. He instigated the voting rebellion, the funniest show so far, and the Natterjack Toad argument with Big Brother was inspired.

"He's a really funny guy but his personality doesn't shine through when Noirin is around. With her gone he'd soon be back on form"

Since Marcus, who once set fire to his own face, entered the house the window fitter has dressed up as a plant pot, smashed up the diary room and electrocuted fellow housemates.

Brentford shopkeepers, barmen, barbers and tattoo shop managers are also getting behind Brentford’s newest star.

Andrew Daynes, manager of Ouch Tattoo in Brentford, said his shop his a hot spot for Marcus. He said: “When we did his last tattoo it was great, he sat there and took it like a man.

“Now he is a local hero. If he does well we will design and give him his very own special tattoo, you can’t get fairer than that.”

Fansites have been divided on who will go tomorrow with 25-year-old Noirin just edging ahead as favourite to be evicted at ADD ADD.

Close friend Miffy Llwyd Williams said it is key Noirin goes to get her mate back to BB best.

She said: “It wouldn’t be worth watching without him. if Noirin goes we should see him back to his old self. He’s one of the few people on BB you can take at face value, you don’t have to agree with him, but you’ve got to respect his honesty.

“BB needs our Brentford Rock Rebel”.
