Fans convinced Zak and Noki are falling for each other
Excitement is brewing among Big Brother fans as they believe they have witnessed the beginnings of a romance on the reality show. Viewers of ITV2's Big Brother are certain that sparks are flying between Zak Srakaew, aged 28, and Noki Simbani, aged 26.
Reality check: Zak's girlfriend
However, their hopes of a blossoming romance may be dashed as Zak was overheard discussing his girlfriend during the live feed broadcast last night. Fans took to social media to express their thoughts, with many agreeing that Noki has caught Zak's eye, despite his relationship status.
Fans taken aback by Zak's contradictory actions
One fan tweeted, "Zak is in a relationship but he was moving to Noky last night?? the math isn't mathing." Another fan added, "Oh, Zak is just oozing with affection for Noky, can't you tell? It's absolutely crystal clear that she's taken a fancy towards Paul, despite his unwavering preference for blondes. How delightfully ironic #BBUK my interest is peaked for sure."
These comments were followed by another fan who said, "Zak saying he's in a 3-year relationship but was chatting up Noky last night." Another fan chimed in, saying, "Noky and Zak, I'm here for it yup."
The beauty queen and the model
Noki, who represented Great Britain in last year's Miss Universe pageant, would certainly be a catch for Zak. With a single finance worker and a master's degree in chemical engineering, Zak is no slouch himself. He has modeled for high-profile brands such as Asos and BoohooMan. Furthermore, Zak's experience of growing up in the Thailand jungle makes his time in the Big Brother house a far cry from his roots. He shared, "People automatically think I grew up in Manchester but when I tell them my life story they are quite surprised. When I was a kid, I used to collect snakes and everything."
