Glyn doesn't come across well at all on BOTS. He was an awful housemate, and doesn't seem to have grown up that much in the intervening years.
Some of his use of language was completely awful, and not becoming of any panellist. It's almost like he tries too hard to be funny, and ends up being totally unfunny, awkward to watch, and inappropriate about BB housemates.
I've never understood the Glyn admiration, but I guess we all like different things.
