I didn't watch his series (Channel 5 BB is a no go) and I'm not actually sure what series he was in. I've seen him on a few different things and today he was on This Morning, he actually seems quite nice (apart from the company he keeps *cough Rylan *cough) for a Channel 5 housemate.

I think he would've been good on the proper Channel 4 series. Does anyone agree?

Detective Dan "I KNEW IT!!!" Neal?

I think he would've been insufferably annoying in any series.

I wasn't a fan, though there were worse housemates in his year. He was a bit of an irritating busybody for my liking. That being said, the Dan/Jackie/Jemima "dead daughter" debate was hilarious.

Well, I have no problem in saying that I liked the bloke........he was a bit of a pain when he kept trying to 'detect' anything that moved in the house.........but otherwise, good for him.......

Didn't he have a boyfriend who supported him in the house but when he was evicted, he dumped him for Rylan?

I remember him coming across as quite cruel.

Looks like his affair with TV darling Rylan is finally paying dividends.

He was a favourite of mine. I found him quite compelling viewing.

Unfortunately, he went to soon Another one of BB's twists - which backfired

I went back and forth with him. His sense of entitlement to say whatever he wanted to whoever he wanted began to grate after a while, but if I remember rightly he was the first person to realise that not everything was super damn perfect with Wolfy...

Couldn't bear him. He liked to think he was really smart and deep, but he was so desperate for attention and a controlling, deluded, paranoid wreck.
Showing intelligence to him is speculating on every single circumstance that could and may happen, turning it into an obsession, draining the life out of the room and turning himself crazy.

Don't think the BB house was a good place for him, especially where the best strategy is to just go with the flow.

Or, you know, because he had fallen in love with someone else? Few of us regard ourselves as betrothed for life to our first partner, and dumping is part of life.

He was a good housemate imo, and it was a great shame that he was out in a silly, entertainment-free twist. He was affectionate and vain, touchy, insensitive and kind by turns. I like to see people with three dimensions to them.

Yep, this is how i felt about him. He definitely wasn't one of the worst ever HM's. I found him pretty entertaining and actually quite "normal" compared to most!

He was seriously hot, a good housemate for about 3 weeks but he soon became insufferable. The twist that ousted him was amazing, especially as his eviction was sealed by being up against Sam and Sophie, even if he "KNEW IT".

They literally couldn't have kept their relationship quieter - no interviews, no tweets, nothing. Funny way to be fame hungry, don't you think?

I wonder why people are so remarkably reluctant to believe that Dan and Rylan got together because people just do that when they fall for each other. I mean hands up who has never dumped anyone or been dumped in their life?

There is no reason to suppose that Dan is particularly fame hungry, by BB terms. It is not Dan who has been picking every more desperate fights on twitter in the hope of getting into the papers, or telling a lot of idiotic lies to fans in the hope of landing a reality tv show is it? I suggest that Sallie and Gina were the two most fame hungry, and Dan a long way back in the queue.

I was gutted when he got evicted as he was the only HM I liked last year, I found him good to watch and I think he went out too soon.

Was never a fan. Why he always had to know everything and spoil the tasks was just dumb. Getting with Rylan shows how desperate for "fame" he is... Funny have never seen him on BBBOTS. Surprised he was on this morning? What was it for? Surely not big brother... must have been something about operation yewtree.

I found him really annoying. i don't think I'd want to watch anything with him in it as pretty sure the annoyance would return!

It was infinitely preferable to Steven's ubiquitous green vest, don't think I can stomach much more of that
