Zak Srakaew may have been booted from Big Brother 2023, but he’s still spilling some boiling hot tea in the aftermath.
The drama in the house has been heating up this week on the ITV series, with tension growing during the next shopping task.
Meanwhile, the love triangle involving Jordan Sangha, Henry Southan, and Matty Simpson continues to make headlines.
Viewers never know when a massive shock would appear out of nowhere, and according to Zak when speaking with fans, they should keep a watch on Chanelle Bowen’s shenanigans.
Before Zak, 28, was fired from the show, there was a lot of debate about his being a ‘gameplayer,’ with Hallie Clarke accusing him of being one.
However, the model believes that if anybody should carry that position, it should be Chanelle, 29, who has avoided major confrontations.
Zak admitted that in his opinion, Chanelle, 29, is ‘playing a bit of a game’, as she’s been pretty ‘quiet’ in the house so far.
‘She’s just trying not to get involved in people’s business too much so her name doesn’t come up with anything. But at the same time, she was talking about me quite a lot,’ he said.
Zak explained that near the start of BBUK 2023, when the housemates took part in a challenge where they stayed in a huge bed in the living room for hours together, Chanelle and Jenkin Edwards turned to him and asked: ‘If you were offered £5,000 now, would you leave?’
‘I was like, “No, £5,000 is not worth the experience,”’ he recalled, while Chanelle and Jenkin both apparently said that they would leave straight away.
‘And then they both looked at each other in a funny way and Chanelle came over to me, and she was like, “The only reason I think you’re a game player is because when we mentioned if you’d leave for £5,000, £10,000, and you said, “No” – that’s a lot of money, and when you said that, we just thought you’re only in here for the money,’ he continued.
‘We just thought you were in here to play a game, so that’s the reason why we think you’re a gameplayer.’
Zak stated that, in retrospect, he believes his time on the programme was worth more than £5,000.
Speaking more about Chanelle’s potential strategy, he speculated: ‘I feel I can kind of see what she’s doing.
‘I feel like she’s trying to stay out of everyone’s way, so her name’s not being brought up too much, but then slowly and slowly, she’s whispering people’s names to other people’s ears, so they’ve got her back and they don’t go for her. I do feel like she’s playing a game and I’m catching on.’
We’ll just have to see if the other roommates or fans come to the same conclusion!
Big Brother returns tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
