At first I had high hopes for Jackson, even though he tried to make out my city was a gun city, WHICH IT IS NOT!!!!!!!. I even old my mate "There's a lad on the show who's from Notts, he may even win it". I take my words back, he's a numpty, please fellow BB followers, believe me when I say we are no all like him, I speak decent English, I don't carry a gun, or think I'm a wannabe gangsta.Nottingham is nothing like he tries to make it sound like, in fact it's actually a lovely city with some very nice people living in it. That Jackson has a lot to answer for, shame on him!

Same here, from Aspley (prolly same age as you looking at your user name). The real Nottingham accent is actually quite nice...

Robin Hood is turning in his grave

Flying the flag for Nottingham.
I not from Nottingham but don't live to far away.

I wouldn't worry I rather doubt that anyone believes Jackson is a genuine representation of anywhere but his own fantasy land .

I'm an Arnold chap, Jackson is from Aspley as well, Aspley must be embarrassed by him, I will admit I say Duck quite a lot myself, but that's because it's a term of endearment and a nice gesture. I can definitely hear the Notts accent in Jackson's voice, I can just imagine him drinking down town on a Saturday night in Yates's, then off round the Square, ending up in Hockley in some club.

How sad that you judge people on the way they speak. Jackson doesn't carry a gun, or think he's a gangsta. Yes he does talk shite sometimes when he gets highly emotional, but not because he's gangsta, because that's how some younger members of society talk, inc Jackson and is close group of friends. It also may interest you to know that a good friend of his was shot dead in Nottinhgam only a few years ago, not GANGSTA related but wrong place at the wrong time. So please shush, you have no idea

Why embarrassed by him? He's a well known, well liked guy

I don't like the way he speaks either. But it does not make people snobs.

Who mentioned snobs?

When you said the poster was judging people on how they speak. I took it that you meant they were being a snob.

I'm from Arnold too, born and bred! Small world that it is!

No, I meant they were being judgemental

OK. Sorry.

Not a problem 😉

Raised in Cinderhill and lived in Broxtowe, Bilborough and Top Valley (all the best bits of Nottm lol) I just quite like hearing my home accent on the telly - Would love to hear him say Tony Hadley outa Spandau Ballet - possibly the best thing to say in a Nottingham accent

Don't you mean drinking dahn tahn?

Lol!

Or 'last night I had a f*cking lovely curry'!

Of course, Jackson isn't the first BB contestant from Notty. Remember Leah?

I forgot about her until then

Do you drink in The Arrow? I live quite near to it but don't go in it much now, I find it a bit clicky, I'd rather drink in town.

DP - delete please

I remember two things:

Carrot

'At least you weren't booed on the way in'

I'm embarrased to be of this world.

Who could forget those two

I don't drink in The Arrow, but I live about 200yds from there! The small world got even smaller!
