Could Brentford star Marcus Akin be BB's irrepressible dark horse?

FRIENDS of Brentford’s long haired Big Brother star have said they are proud of their pal and wouldn’t mind if he was given the BB boot so they could all go for a beer.

Window fitter Marcus Akin is facing the public vote tomorrow night with all of his housemates after the Wolverine lookalike, who has started to refer to himself as ‘The Irrepressible Dark Horse, broke BB rules with his former love rival Siavash.

Despite the hairy 35-year-old facing the chop for the third time his best friend Helen Green said she misses Marcus and wouldn’t mind if he left the house.

And it seems Brentford’s biggest celebrity might want to leave after deliberately tampering with mirrors, shouting abuse at hungry housemate David and even begging BB to jet him off to America.

Pal Miss Green said: “Put it like this, he's had a good run and is looking a little bored so I won't be disappointed the day his name is called out! It'll be nice to see him! Having said that, he's being a lot more entertaining again now Noirin is out of the picture.”

Miss Green, who has tirelessly appeared on spin off show BBLB and is heading to Elstree Studios for eviction night said she missed her friend and life had been quiet without him.

But it looks like friends of the Irrepressible Dark Horse could be waiting another week as posh Bristol hippy Bea is odds on favourite to be chucked out after BB bosses asked viewers to vote for their favourite housemate not the one they want out.
