Big Brother fans support Jenkin as he breaks down in Diary Room
He's admitted he 'doesn't fit in anywhere'
It's safe to say the first 24 hours in the Big Brother house were a struggle for 25-year-old Welsh boy Jenkin! After becoming the first housemate to enter during the launch show, a harsh twist saw him not allowed hot water, before being made to watch bosses blow up his suitcase.
As if that wasn't enough to throw at him, poor Jenkin was then forced to state which housemate he thought would be the hardest to live with, and when he chose Scottish dancer Olivia, she was later put up for eviction, leaving her seriously unhappy.
On last night's show (Monday 9th October), it all got a bit much for Jenkin, which led him to breaking down in the Diary Room, as he admitted he felt like he 'doesn't fit in anywhere'.
He said: "Obviously having no hot water or clothes, obviously pushes you out of your comfort zone. This alone pushes you out your comfort zone.
"I want to take it in my stride and not let it get to me. So to come in and not even feel comfortable in an uncomfortable situation and then to be called the least trustworthy, the least funny when you know you can't fully be yourself because you don't feel comfortable is just hard.
"I don't even want to get emotional about it because it is just so stupid, I feel like I'm not fitting in anywhere.
"I knew it was going to be hard, I'll be fine... who would have thought I'd be crying on the second day."

After witnessing the difficult scenes, BB viewers took to social media to express their love and concern for Jenkin.
One wrote: 'I feel for Jenkin, people have made him a bit of a target & he comes across singled out', with another adding: 'I love Jenkins just wanna cuddle him ❤️'. (sic)
A third added: 'People putting Jenkin last are most probably threatened by him, they realise he could be really popular on the outside. He is funny so I don’t know why he would be least funny 🤷♀️'. (sic)
Another wrote: 'I feel so bad for Jenkin I love him so much', with a fifth writing: 'So unfair to Jenkins, @bbuk do better'. (sic)
As well as losing his suitcase and his access to hot water, during the first challenge, which saw the housemates having to rank each other's traits from least to most, Jenkin was voted least funny and least trustworthy.
Big Brother airs every weeknight at 9pm on ITV2/STV2.
