Big Brother's Zak reveals verdict on the Henry Jordan Matty love triangle (exclusive)
Love could be blossoming in the Big Brother house as evicted housemate Zak predicted in a chat with Yahoo: "It could be a little romance."
Of course, viewers won't be surprised that the model was referring to the Big Brother love triangle between Jordan, Henry and Matty which has been a hot topic of conversation from the ITV2 show in recent days.
He told us: "I would always see them speaking to each other and when I would come over the topic would seem to change. It could be a little romance between them. It's been a little bit of a love triangle so I'm excited to see how it all pans out."
Big Brother love triangle
However, Zak pointed out he didn't feel Matty and Jordan's connection was a serious prospect - compared to the strong bond Jordan had built with "husband" Henry.
He added: "I feel it is not as deep as it seems on the TV. I feel like Matty and Jordan like to have a little flirt but really Henry and Jordan are TV husbands."
It will come as a delightful surprise to fans that Jordan and Henry share a kiss in the upcoming episode on Wednesday.
Fans have already fallen in love with Big Brother duo Henry and Jordan, one of the reasons Zak felt like he was voted out on Friday's live eviction.
"I felt like I had a disadvantage going up against Henry," he said. "A lot of people were saying keep Henry in for Jordan. So a lot of people voted for Henry just for the sake of keeping Jordan happy. Jordan’s got a big fan base out here."
Zak and Noky
Wearing his heart on his sleeve, Zak revealed he had formed his own special relationship in the Big Brother house with beauty pageant queen Noky.
But the model, who is in a happy relationship off-screen, ruled out any on-screen romance.
He said: "They were trying to paint a picture of girlfriend and boyfriend but it wasn't like that. We just got along. We shared a lot of stories and we came from similar backgrounds and we shared a lot of the same values. I love Noky to bits."
Zak also responded to Jordan's cutting comment about Noky crying "crocodile tears" over his exit.
"You would cry if Henry left. Why is it not ok for her to cry because I left?" He said.
He elaborated: "Those tears were 100% genuine. She was my little sister in there and we had times where we were just together, no one else was around. So I feel like no one actually knew our relationship and how tight we were in there.
"We shared a lot of moments together, a lot of stories together and we've got a lot of things in common. Me and Noky were quite tight in there."
He added: "It made me really sad watching it back... I'll definitely be staying in contact with her 100%."
The reality star said he "really hopes" Noky wins Big Brother - but he's also backing Jordan, Trish, Yinrun and Dylan in the Big Brother household.
Zak and Kerry's clash
Before his exit, Zak got into hot water when he told Matty what Olivia and Kerry had been saying behind his back over the topic of food.
Things got tense when Kerry confronted Zak and accused him of being fake but what really surprised the model was that he didn't get an apology following her outburst.
He said: "I thought the next day Kerry might come and say, 'Zak I just want to apologise for what I said to you. I just want to apologise for how I spoke to you' but she never did that.
"She just came over and said, 'I'm glad we can get over that.' I just thought that's really fake."
He added: "Kerry is too scared to own up to what she has done wrong."
Editing
Having watched some of the episodes back, Zak also shared his small disappointment over the editing of the show.
In the real world, he said he is like a "counsellor" to his friends, so he was sad to see his softer side didn't make it off the cutting floor.
Of the editing process, he said: "There's got to be a narrative to it and a storyline to it so I understand why they edited it the way they did.
"It's just a shame that they show my softer side. There was a lot of moments where I shared stories with Henry and with Yinrun. They just didn't show my softer side. They was trying to show that alpha male side of me. The 'yes, bro, how you doing?' and fist bumping.
"But there were a lot of times when I gave people hugs, there were a lot of times where people cried to me, where I shared my wisdom with people and it didn't get shown. It was quite sad because I would just wish to show the softer side of Zak."
