Age: 39

Hometown: Coventry

Job: DJ

Dylan hails from Coventry and was the 10th cast member to join Big Brother house.

When asked why he decided to apply for Big Brother 2023, he said: “I saw one of the ads on TV and I thought, I’ve had so many people over the years say to me that I should be a reality TV show because I’m a character. So when I saw it, I thought, you know what, I’ll give it a go and now here I am!”

Dylan is an amputee, and is hoping to prove he can do whatever is asked of him “without having any problems”.

The 39-year-old revealed during the show that he got into a car accident with his foot snapping in half, which resulted in him having to get it amputated.

The DJ describes himself as “a loud, positive and musical person”, and if that freestyle was anything to go by, he will be bringing all the entertainment in the house.
