Big Brother's Zak unveils show's 'biggest game player' - and it's not Kerry
Big Brother's Zak Srakaew has revealed who he thinks is the biggest game player on the show.
The ASOS model-turned-reality star, 28, was booted out of the house on Friday after losing out to Henry Southan. Much has been made of Zak's feelings towards NHS manager, Kerry Riches, 40, who he criticised for trying to blame her 'shady behaviour' on other people. However, the person he reckons is even more of a game player is Chanelle Bowen.
The dental therapist, 29, is, according to Zak, "playing a bit of a game" on the ITV2 show, which used to be on Channel 4. Speaking about Chanelle's behaviour in the house, Zak said: “Chanelle never really tries to be in conflict with anyone, but she’s sitting back and whispering in people’s ears. The more I watch it and the more I see of her, I feel like she’s one of those girls who slowly gets people on her side and speaks about other people.”

Before going in the house, Llanelli-born Chanelle told viewers she was "bubbly, quite resilient and humble". However, she also admitted that while she's book smart, she lacks common sense. Despite applying for Big Brother as a joke, the Welsh dental nurse said she was hoping to meet "friends for life" from her time in the famous house, which is packed full of cameras to catch contestants' every move.

While Zak has called out Chanelle for being the 'real game player', he also criticised NHS manager Kerry's behaviour, claiming she doesn't know how to take responsibility for her own actions and is blaming her faults on other people.

Speaking about hearing the boos for the controversial character, Zak told MailOnline: "I weren't that surprised to be fair because I feel like a lot of people are catching on to what type of person she is. Don't get me wrong, she's a really lovely woman, we had some really nice chats and deep down I know that there's a decent woman down there.
"But I feel like it is a game show, she is playing a game, and I feel like when she's done something wrong she just doesn't know how to own up to her own faults and she tries to blame it on other people. I feel like that's not a good game to play."
Kerry has come under fire in recent weeks after her use of inappropriate language during a live broadcast of the show. After being pranked by her housemates, Olivia and Jenkin, who had moved her mattress in the living room, the NHS manager used the phrase "This is gay" to describe the situation.
The housemate soon became a trending topic according to Google, with phrases including ‘Kerry Big Brother slur’ hitting breakout search terms. In response to the backlash, a spokesperson for Big Brother said: "Kerry was brought to the diary room to discuss her inappropriate use of language. Big Brother reminded Kerry of her respect and inclusion training prior to entering the House and the consequences of any further use of offensive language. Kerry understood and apologised for any offence caused.”
