Big Brother fans puzzled as housemate appears to go 'missing' from show

Viewers left confused

Big Brother fans were left scratching their heads as one housemate seemed to go 'missing' from the ITV reality series, only to suddenly appear in the latest episode, prompting viewers to ask, "Who is he?"

Accusations against producers

Producers of the show have been accused of intentionally editing out footballer amputee Thomas Atkinson from episodes, with fans claiming he barely appeared on screen in the latest installment of Big Brother.

Confusion among fans

Viewers took to social media to express their confusion, with one fan on Twitter writing, "Wait who’s Thomas. I swear this is the first time I’ve seen him since the first episode." Another fan added, "Lowkey forgot Thomas even existed until he was on screen then."

Thomas's background

Thomas, a 20-year-old goalkeeper from Carlisle, was born without a left hand and overcame early challenges to become a key player for the England Amputee men’s team. Despite his low profile on the show, Thomas describes himself as "very energetic and always lively."

Escape from eviction

Despite his limited screen time, Thomas has managed to escape eviction from his fellow housemates and will not be up for eviction during the upcoming live show. Instead, other housemates including Daze, Ali, Lily, and Martha are facing the possibility of leaving the house.
