Big Brother viewers have expressed how they are 'fascinated' and 'obsessed' with the accent of housemate Jordan.
Jordan has become a favourite among the contestants of the 2023 series, with his dry wit and sarcastic manner drawing many compliments.
His posh accent might lead some viewers to assume he was from somewhere in the south of England, but Jordan in fact hails from Scunthorpe in Lincolnshire.
Jordan has mentioned that his time watching Downton Abbey in his youth inspired him to cultivate the accent.
Big Brother fans 'obsessed' with Jordan's accent
Many took to Twitter during the latest Big Brother episode when Jordan was talking about his time going to school in Grimsby.
One person posted: "Jordan fascinates me, every now and again I'm reminded he's from a council estate in Scunthorpe and I'm pulled out of the accent."
Many people expressed similar sentiments with one sharing: "Obsessed with Jordan being a council house kid from Grimsby adopting the accent and mannerisms from Downton Abbey."
Another wrote: "Jordan is from Grimsby? how much Downton did he watch for his accent to be like that."
One person added: "Jordan’s really taken copying your favourite TV character’s personality to the extreme and I adore him for it."
Another shared: "using downtown Abbey as a guide to learn how to fake your accent is…on brand for Jordan".
Big Brother continues on ITV2 and ITVX every day at 9pm except Saturdays
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
