King Charles and Camilla's ex-butler divides Big Brother viewers as fans say same thing

Viewers tuned in for the launch of a new series of Big Brother on Sunday night, kicking off the second season of the rebooted programme.

Sixteen new housemates entered the Big Brother house, competing for a cash prize as hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best welcomed them.

Last year's winner, Jordan Sangha, was crowned champion and took home £100,000. He has since found love with Henry Southan after their time on the show.

One contestant who has sparked conversation among viewers is Nathan. The 24-year-old got people talking on social media after admitting that he was once King Charles' butler before becoming a pork salesman.

Elsewhere, many pointed out that he resembles a character from the Shrek movie, with some claiming he looks just like Prince Charming from the classic film.

Comments from fans included: “Prince Charles' BUTLER?? Admires Farage?? Votes Tory?? Nathan for the win.” Another person said:“Nathan is giving Prince Charming”; and a third viewer wrote:“Nathan looks like Prince Charming from Shrek in live-action form #BBUK.”

Opening up about himself during his brief interview with AJ and Will, he said: “I will bring a lot of opinions. I like to have a spirited debate. I’m quite a strong character. If I think something’s wrong, I’ll call it out as being wrong - I’m not afraid to do that.”

Before joining the show, Nathan shared insights about his time in the royal service, saying: “I've had the honour of serving at a couple of dinners during His Royal Highness's visits to Dumfries House.

“I very much enjoy being a butler here and there's always something very different to deal with.”

It comes after presenter Will Best teased that viewers can expect even bigger and more exciting tasks this series, as the team plans to step things up from last season.

He said: “The tasks were incredible last series but I've been speaking to members of the team and I think they're gonna raise the bar even further I think this series, they'll be taken up a notch."

The show, which has aired on Channel 4, Channel 5, and now ITV, is famous for its iconic tasks that have both entertained and challenged housemates throughout the years.

When asked about which classic challenge he would like to see return, Will had plenty to share. In an interview with the Mirror and other media outlets, he fondly reflected on past challenges: "I liked it when they were all just sat in boxes, they just had to sit in the box, the simplicity of that but it was so funny."

In a preview sneak peak of the new series, ITV has offered fans a lookinto the revamped design of the new house, including a change to the iconic diary room.
