Friends and team-mates of Big Brother contestant Nathan Dunn have spoken of his “larger-than-life” character.

Nathan, 25, from Bingley, entered the final Big Brother house on Wednesday night.

The Keighley Town Rugby League Club player has described himself as Yorkshire’s answer to Liam Gallagher.

Dale Spencer, Nathan’s friend and team-mate at Keighley Town, said: “As soon as we found out he had auditioned, we knew he would go on because he’s such a character.

“He’s not the sort of person who is in your face and upsets people, he’s funny and you just can’t not like him.”

Club chairman Tim Powell said: “I would imagine he’s going to be one of the characters in there – he will be quite a showman.

“I think he’s probably going to enjoy the limelight.

“I think he will get quite far because he has the right sort of attitude towards things.”

Nathan has described himself as ‘happy-go-lucky’ and the loud-mouth within his group of friends.

His biggest crush is Emmerdale character Charity Dingle and he once gave former Big Brother contestant Chanelle Hayes his phone number – but she never called.
