As contestants stormed the stage during Big Brother’s revival on Sunday evening, viewers were left distracted by an audience member.
New hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best kicked off the launch show on ITV, after the reality show was axed in 2018 by Channel 5, introducing a new batch of 16 contestants – including 25-year-old lawyer Jordan from Scunthorpe.
As he chatted to the duo during his entry interview, many discussed his posh voice – the result of forging an accent based on Downton Abbey characters – while others were distracted by his stunning mother who stood in the crowd.
Viewers swarmed X, formerly known as Twitter, to comment on his mum’s youthful looks, after she wowed on screen in a busty khaki number with her hair worn in bouncy waves and a statement red lipstick and silver necklaces.
She was likened to a host of pop culture ‘hot mums’ – including American Pie’s Stifler’s Mom, Will’s mum in The Inbetweeners and Modern Family’s Sofia Vergara.
Wow! On Sunday night, Big Brother viewers went WILD for Jordan’s VERY youthful mum and branded the stunner ‘dead fit’ before demanding SHE enter the show
Chatting away: New hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best kicked off the launch show on ITV, after the reality show was axed in 2018 by Channel 5, introducing a new batch of 16 contestants – including 25-year-old lawyer Jordan from Scunthorpe
My boy! She was on hand to support her son as they show kicked off
Wow! Viewers were enamoured with the stunner as she watched her son
‘Jordan and his mum on the day of the BB interviews #BBUK… The should have brought Jordan’s mum on the show tbh… Jordans mum #BBUK…
‘Yeah Jordan’s mum is fit #BBLL… Why is Jordan’s mum Jennifer Coolidge #BBUK… This Jordan guy on Big Brother is Will from the Inbetweeners. Right down to the mum…. We need Jordan’s mum as a bombshell midseason housemate pls #BBUK…
‘Jordan’s mum!?… Jordan mum is fit but his dad is Jacob Rees mogg… Jordan’s mum looks younger than him #bbuk… Jordan’s mum wow… Jordan mum should have gone in big brother instead… The biggest shock of 2023…. Jordan’s Mum…
‘Jordan’s mum giving sofia vegara!!… Nah, send Jordan’s mum in instead… Jordan’s Mum On Big Brother Looks Like Stifler’s Mom [sic].’
One viewer liked the stunner to Stifler’s Mom from the American Pie franchise, in which Jennifer Collidge – the mother of the school bully – was the object of her teen son’s friend’s affections.
Additionally, others referenced Fountains of Wayne’s 2003 song Stacy’s Mom, about a red hot mother – played by Rachel Hunter in the steamy video.
Another reference to a desirable matriarch was Will’s mum from The Inbetweeners.
The main character was frequently goaded for his mother’s stunning looks and his pals’ affections towards her, including the line from pal Neil: ‘Will, your mum is so fit I reckon she could be a prostitute’.
Funny: ‘sarcastic’ lawyer Jordan quipped that he was most looking forward to ‘not having to pay bills’ during his time in the house
Nice! Twitter was dominated with talk of the stunning audience member
Woo! Will excitedly chatted to the hosts before entering the show
Cheeky! Ahead of entering the house, the ‘sarcastic’ lawyer quipped that he was most looking forward to ‘not having to pay bills’ during his time in the house
Ahead of entering the house, the ‘sarcastic’ lawyer quipped that he was most looking forward to ‘not having to pay bills’ during his time in the house.
He said he applied for the show on a whim and he is interested in the social experiment side of the programme, saying: ‘I have a face like a chastised backside hence I wear such wonderful shirts to make up for it.’
The admiration for Jordan’s mother comes after AJ , 35, was secretly battling an awkward wardrobe malfunction in her latex catsuit during the show.
According to The Sun, the presenter’s edgy outfit was so skintight she had to use lube in order to slide into it.
Not only that, but stylists had to take to the stage multiple times wielding a hairdryer to combat the frizz from her wig and static on her legs.
A crowd whistleblower said: ‘First, a producer said she had to be lubed up to get into [the catsuit] and then her extra long wig kept getting caught on the legs with static.
‘Her stylists had to keep coming on stage with a hairdryer to stop the wig clinging to her. It was hilarious for us but less so for her.
‘Then, all that hot air on her legs started causing air to escape, essentially making fart sounds, and AJ was, like, ‘It’s not me’.’
The audience member added that the crowd had been told this years show was to be ‘celebratory’ so no booing was allowed, like in previous years.

KERRY
AGE: 40
PROFESSION: NHS Manager
FROM: Essex
WHAT MADE YOU APPLY TO BE A BIG BROTHER HOUSEMATE? ‘I love the programme. It is, for me, the ultimate reality TV show ever. I’ve got multiple sclerosis and so the reason why I never applied before is because I always saw those whacking great big stairs to get into the house. It just felt a little bit unachievable because for the first three years of my illness I was in a wheelchair. When I saw it was coming back and searching for real people from all walks of life, I thought, this is my year.’
