Has his family really got stables, tennis courts, swimming pool etc or was he just winding the others up ?

I think he has. The night that they went in my son said 'oh spot the private school/boarding school lad'.
He did look the part.

He does give off that public school boy image alright . If he is from a privileged background that's something else kept pretty quite .

Not really.

I can't see any reference to it in his profile on the BB site . The first I've heard of it tonight .
Unless as I said he was just winding the other up .

I thought it was clear from his VT and everything else that he's said in the house. He's obviously from a privileged background. I have no reason to believe he was lying about the stables, etc. Nor do I think that that would wind up the other HMs.

What else has he said? Does he live in a big mansion like that other HM from a past BB, Freddie .

Me too I thought it was clear that he was doing nothing, because he could.

Also he does seem like the type, and weirdly I like him anyway.

Mansion is a subjective term, and he hasn't specified the dimensions, but yes, I suspect he lives in his parents' rather large house.

I like him too, but it doesn't surprise me. Wealthy people can be decent sorts, just like anyone, and you can hardly judge somebody for being born into wealth, can you?

True, I meant more the lazy ass part. But I can't really judge there lol I do think he is an interesting introspective type guy my fav at the moment.

The difference between Nick & the character that was Gina Rio, is she was totally inconsistent with her accent & her back story. I believe Nick has had a privileged upbringing & like him as he seems to be a good lad underneath the 'I am not likeable' facade.

Ah.. Sorry. Yes, he does seem like the type to live off his parents. And I suppose that could be seen as an indictment of his character, but he's only young, so I just take him as I find him; a pretty nice chap.

To me, Nick seems to be a bit of a Boris Johnson, Gina seemed to me to be a Hyacinth Bucket.

Wonder why he was expelled from two schools and has no qualifications .

I believe and so far like him too. His diction and enunciation alone would be near impossible to mimic, Gina didn't even know how to properly hold her cutlery. I'm just afraid of a repeat of the sleuthing and ensuing wars over a housemate's background that dominated the forum for weeks.

I read somewhere, Private Eye, I think, that his father was the boss of William Hill's bookmakers

As someone who knows several Will Hill employees, I can confirm this.

You could well be right . Just checked and a person called James Henderson is the CEO of William Hills .

He made it perfectly clear in his VT that he has never worked because he doesn`t have to & didn`t he also say he tried it out for 5 mins by getting a job in MacDonalds & he felt he was too good for that. Seeing his social awkwardness around girls, I agree he is likely from an all male public school.

Further down in article it names Nicholas Henderson ( James /David Henderson's son ???) as stable boy for a Cheltenham Gold Cup trainer

I have liked him from the beginning except for when he was entwined with Jade

didn't he say (very early on )he worked for 2 years as a jockey and regretted giving it up ? I think he may have told Adjoa this

He worked for two years as a stable boy. Considering he is only 19 I doubt that he has been out of work for long. His own father worked his way up from the bottom over many years with William Hill.

Except his VT when he went in pretty much left us in no doubt he was from money. I have no idea why people didn't get this.
