A tweet by Sam...

The 21-year old graffiti artist made an impact on everyone from the moment he entered the house, and I’m not just talking about the other housemates either.Sam definitely made a lasting impression on people, and was often the subject of people’s chatter. Now he has also become a hit on social networking website Twitter, and has already gained more than 30,000 followers in just a day or two according to Matthew Wood, at digitalspy.co.uk.
Pepper – who was evicted on Friday night after just 21 days on the show – is said to have created his account on the popular micro-blogging site on Saturday evening, and has already built quite an impressive fan base. This apparently includes Premier League footballer Rio Ferdinand.
The prankster appeared quite surprised with the amount of support he has received since appearing on the Channel 4 show, and in one of his posts he tweeted: “Can’t believe I’m so close to 30,000 followers!” He then asked the question: “Are you sure you guys have the right page.”
What did you think of Sam Pepper?

Former Big Brother housemate Sam Pepper has made an instant impression online by gaining over 30,000 followers on Twitter.

After creating an account on Saturday evening, the graffiti artist has built up a large fan base, which includes Premier League footballer Rio Ferdinand.

Speaking on one of his tweets, the 21-year-old seemed surprised to have gained such a following. "Can't believe I'm so close to 30,000 followers! Are you sure you guys have the right page?"

Despite only spending 21 days on the show, the prankster has amassed over double the amount of followers that former winners Brian Belo and Sophie Reade have.

Another evictee from Friday, Australian John James, has managed to gain over 20,000 followers so far.
