Is about to go into top gear.

Harry leaving was heaven on a stick for him, he gets her out of his hair and he can now moan on and on about being lonely without her...all he ever did when she was there was make fun of her and tell the others that she's a nightmare. lol

He is sneaky, sorry

It clearly isn't an act.

It really is an act.

All he ever did when she was there was moan about her and talk about her behind her back.

if it isnt then he's a bit of a wimp. neither a good look tbh

I also do not think it is an act. He is incredibly insecure, that's all.

I feel the same as you, I don't think it was ever an act

Ive said it before there's a hint of Lauren Herries about him!

Yes he was such a wilting insecure flower when he stole £5000 out of the kitty to weasle his way into the final wasn't he?

I agree

I don't think it's an act to be honest.
I think he is a bit 'lost'. But yes he is a bit pathetic and needed to grow balls sooner

If you thought he was pathetic before just wait till this week...all the boddy hugging hair touching nose touching will be ramped up.

It's not an act but I think he plays up to his insecurities and doesn't make much of an effort to get over them. It's a shame that an experience like this hasn't been able to help him, I think he'll leave the house as bad as he came in.

Surely he must be getting used to his squeezes leaving by now?

I agree ...no-one could keep that "act" up for so long!!!! I think that it is so sad that someone from his background etc should be so insecure..just makes you wonder why..and why he thinks everyone hates him...he does not even say that people won't like him..he says that they will hate him!

BIB Why do you think that. He seems to have coping strategies for the anxiety attacks, but they're not going to work every time.

And as for the OP...no it's not an act.

For God's sake, he couldn't be that insecure to audition and paticipate in Big Brother. Get a grip folks.

Well from what I have read and seen, he has spent most of his time under the duvet so keeping up the act would be fairly easy I'd have thought.

do we know he auditioned? maybe he bought his way onto the show like he bought his way into finals.

stranger things have happened, both bb can and bbusa sometimes takes people right out of bars and they go straight into the house a day or so later.

Doesnt UK also have ringers/ cast HMs??

What makes you think it isnt?

I have seen no evidence of coping strategies for anxiety attacks....in fact a person as young as Nick should never have gone through enough to be suffering from them!

I think he might reflect on his time in the house with regret.

After that is,the OK shoots with Harry.

Why has Nick continuously been given the benefit of the doubt?

With Jade he was defended, when he played just as much of a part as her...

Nikki forever proclaiming that she intends to rescue him... Rescue him from what?! He's an adult!

Then with Harry everyone molly-cuddled him also...

He's a vile individual and makes me feel physically sick. Always running his hands through his greasy hair, touching his face non-stop and putting his fingers in his mouth... Yuck!

As if his monotone accent wasn't painful enough. All I am saying is how I am baffled at how he has been painted as a saint by all of the housemates. Surely I can't be the only one who can see right through him??

Yes, anxiety is probably the wrong word, although the involuntary tics and jerks are often brought on by stress.

He walks or strokes his head to try and calm himself. He'll also take himself off to the storeroom.

Even if he didn't audition, why would any right minded person with anxiety problems go on National televsion on Big Brother...why

I don't dislike him, but I do find it hard to reconsile his little lost boy, twitchy act, with the resident lothario image he has portrayed in the house. It's all smoke and mirrors with Nick. Played a good game but it won't win him the crown.
