What is wrong with him?

I think there is a mental health problem, this is not entertainment

Completely agree, he shouldnt be in there :-(

treefr0g · 18/08/14 - 23:35

I can't believe that he's 70

[Deleted User] · 18/08/14 - 23:35

Why not? He's not depressed or suicidal. He seems very cheerful. Why discriminate against people with a touch of alzheimers? (if that's what he has).

Memory loss won't cause a breakdown, he'll just forget some things.

I wouldn't go that far. He's getting on in years, he's had issues with drinking and drugs which have left him confused and as Emma said, he's hard of hearing.

He's a true celeb though, unlike some who have gone in there. An "A" lister. Starstruck quality for anyone who watched Point Break or anything else he's been in

I do agree they need to take care of him, keep a close eye and make sure he's alright. Give him a chance first though before we cry cruelty.

Exactly. I'm sure the other housemates will make allowances. So far he's my winner.

I was never entirely comfortable watching Lauren Harries, but having someone with dementia in there is a bloody disgrace

mrsdidi · 18/08/14 - 23:39

He was in a motorcycle accident some years ago and suffered a head injury I suspect that the effect of that head injury is what we are seeing

[Deleted User] · 18/08/14 - 23:40

With what else is in that house he seems positively grounded

[Deleted User] · 18/08/14 - 23:40

holy shit. uncomfortable.

He does not appear to have any form of dementia to me, he defiantly does seem to have the residual effects of a head injury but that is not the same thing as a dementia type illness

He's a cock

Rylan is doing his best....

He's a character, not some brain dead Geordie idiot.

rfonzo · 18/08/14 - 23:45

I think he is going to get snappy with people as he is an ex addict.

He does a thing called "Buseyisms" in his head whilst people are talking to him, It can make him appear a bit slower than an average person but its something he uses to help him understand and cope with his disability.

For those that haven't seen Buseyisms before:

I don't find a brain-damaged person suitable for the cruel zoo that is BB People will take the piss because of ignorance, it's depressing.

He rode a motor bike without a helmet and crashed, read link below
