Manx housemate Matty Simpson goes into Big Brother house

The newly relaunched series of Big Brother has a Manx housemate.

24 year old Matty Simpson said he'd always thought about applying as he saw himself in the usual cross section of characters that would make up the contestants.

Matty is a trained doctor and currently works in the geriatric unit.

He said he's ready to have fun in the house, but doesn't expect he'll last too long in the series.
