GAY Irish farmer Cian Carrigan became the first housemate to enter the Big Brother house in what has been revealed to be the show’s final series.
The 23-year-old from Co. Tipperary looked shocked as he made his way through the crowd and when he discovered he was the first contestant.
“I’m not able,” he kept repeating as he wandered around the empty house, before making a beeline for the alcohol.
This farmer may be used to herding animals around, but will he be in charge of his fellow housemates? Say hello to Cian! #BBUK pic.twitter.com/sILJp8EJA7

In his introduction clip, Cian announced: “I deserve a place in the Big Brother house because you have not had a 23-year-old gay farmer from the heart of Ireland!”
Meanwhile host Emma Willis revealed that growing up, Cian wanted to be either a wrestler or… a Spice Girl.
Facts are facts! Cian says that he's always right #BBUK pic.twitter.com/zVFRIP8EhO

It may be early days, but the Irish housemate appeared to make a good first impression on Big Brother fans.

My only connection to Tipperary is that it’s listed on my passport as my birthplace. But now I’m glad to have that link to Cian on #BBUK.

Meanwhile it was revealed earlier in the day that this season of Big Brother will be the last.
Production group Endemol said they had failed to reach an agreement with Channel 5 for future series, however they added they “are excited about future possibilities for Big Brother in the UK”.
Could there be an Irish winner on the British edition’s swansong?
You can catch Big Brother on Channel 5 every night at 9pm, except on Saturdays, when it airs at 10pm.
