I'm just looking at VTs from series 1 to 11 and I've just come across Jonty's one.

What did people think of him?

Jonty's VT was indeed
I liked him in the house

he was a right weirdo lol

More to the point I wonder what Pauline would have thought of his VT.

"Piss on my bears and I'll chop your cock off".

Yes, and here's another weird video by Jonty that I've stumbled across. He must be nuts!!! :

I liked him

He was the one who liked to walk around starkers if I remember rightly.

I liked him, but his teddy thing used to creep me out a bit.

The teddy was called Munkitty Tunkitty

You,ve got a good memory lol..

Awwwwwwwww Jonty and his purple willy and the lovely Monkety Tunnkety - those were the days

Ah bless! The great man himself makes an appearance and no sod notices!

Hi Jonty. You still working in Sir John Soane's Museum?

I remember a lot about series 5 to 11 as there was a live feed.

I remember him playing with them but i'd clean forgotten the names

Yes shocking isn't it!

Now a little inhibited at the thought that Jonty may still be lurking , but a rare example of a housemate where 'eccentric' does not mean 'contrived act to get more attention'. Jonty is a sweetie.

creepy , monkenty tunkinty shivers

Why do you think none of it was contrived? It wouldn't be inconsistent with him being a sweetie.

He seemed an inoffensive enough, simple soul.......with his teddy which he talked to and used to talk to others..........I found him a very strange man........he actually walked around naked one night.......

No he didn't. He was filmed ONCE in the bathroom drying himself after a shower naked. He had just had a shower with Kara Louise, who obviously thought nothing of it. He said afterwards that in the House Next Door (of which we saw virtually nothing) that was what they always did, so it was nothing.

After BB I unscrupulously walked round the Museum of London asking members of staff who had worked with him if he was like the person we saw on BB. They seemed to agree that he was liked but eccentric. So at least it wasn't put on for BB.

He was a classic old-school HM, never nasty to anyone, an all-round good guy.....

Hi everyone - thanks for the lovely comments!

@Radical Joe Yes, I still work for Sir John Soane's Museum.

That he's eccentric doesn't mean that nothing of what he did in BB was contrived.

He could be an eccentric sweetie -- and I'm happy to believe he is -- yet still have contrived some things for BB. There was certainly a big difference betwee Jonty when he first came in and how he was later, for instance when having a long talk with Sam.

He was one of the better housemates that series. That's not saying much though considering the other options available...
