As a love triangle develops between Jordan, Henry, and Matty, Big Brother is progressively becoming a slow-burner romance narrative this season.
Jordan and Henry have become inseparably close, spending much of their time together in the home and providing viewers with hours of pleasure.
Henry has also made it very known that he has a special spot for Jordan that extends far beyond friendship.
While they’ve both freely joked about becoming one other’s ‘husband,’ it wasn’t Henry who Jordan confessed to having feelings for this week.
During Friday night’s episode, the 25-year-old lawyer told his 33-year-old mother Trish that he was ‘confused’ about his feelings for Matty.
This was after he and Matty had an extremely amorous dinner table interaction, according to spectators.
Jordan was caught on camera telling Matty, who is in an open relationship, that he is ‘intrigued’ by him.
Doctor Matty, 24, informed Jordan that he ‘appreciates’ their friendship, and Jordan commended him on how’sweet’ he is.
He quickly panicked and apologised, claiming that he was only complementing his character and comparing him to other roommate Yinrun.
The pair laughed together, and it was all really lovely, with Matty even arranging an elaborate queer night out for them after they leave the BB home.
Jordan later attempted to describe his sentiments in the Diary Room, well knowing that emotions are sure to be heightened in such a setting and not wanting to fling himself into anything.
After saying so, he walked into Matty’s room, embraced his teddy bear, and tenderly patted him on the back before saying goodbye.
Naturally, BB fans are captivated by the entire narrative, especially because Henry is unaware that Jordan is developing affections for someone who… isn’t him.
Taking to Twitter, one viewer wrote: ‘Jordan tucking Matty in? This man is too far gone.’
‘jordan’s got feelings for matty… things just got more interesting’, wrote another.
‘I’ve just spent the past 2 weeks shipping Jordan and Henry for Jordan to like Matty?! I’m done’, wrote one despondent viewer.
‘JORDAN CONFESSING HIS FEELINGS FOR MATTY WAS NOT ON MY BB BINGO CARD!!’, one wrote.
‘I voted for Henry to be evicted but if this Jordan and Matty situation is going to develop its probably for the best he doesn’t go anywhere yet…. could be juicy viewing’, another teased, ahead of Zak’s eviction.

Since joining the house, Matty has been honest about his sexuality and relationship status.
Previously, he perplexed Olivia when he emphasised that he wasn’t in an open relationship only to avoid infidelity.
‘It’s freedom to pursue other people instead of the preventative of cheating,’ he said.
‘Do you know what I’m trying to say? If you’ve never been exposed to it before, the only way that you can comprehend it is the prevention of cheating.’
‘How do you learn that?’, Olivia quizzed.
‘It’s not easy to learn,’ Matty confessed.
A stunned Olivia exclaimed: ‘It’s baffling me. How do you learn that?’
Matty went on to say that adopting open partnerships involves’rewiring your brain’ and ‘everything you were taught as a youngster.’
He went on to say that he doesn’t want there to be a ‘taboo’ surrounding his romances, but he understands why others do.
Fans will have to wait a few days to see how Jordan’s crush on Matty grows, if it develops at all, if anything changes now that Henry has been spared eviction, and if Matty expresses his emotions for the stoic yet adorable Jordan.
We enjoy all of the drama, Mick!
Big Brother continues Sunday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
