If anything the intense hate for him from some just goes to show how unaccepting many are in this country.
He has his flaws like most other people and he has a past like most others too, it doesn't make him a bad person and tbqh the vile insults I am seeing about him make me sick.
He won't deny he had drug problems in the past like many other celebs btw, in fact he is proud that he has been clean from drugs and alchol for a while now and rightly so, yes the addiction will have added to his problems but he has disabilities fgs he was in the crash and then years later he also had a major operation to remove a golf ball sized tumor from his sinus cavity.
He is also 70 years old, I'm wondering how those housemates would feel if people were going around saying they wanted to 'smash' their granddads.
But on top of all this I just like him for being him, nothing to do with 'sympathy' before that starts getting posted in here too, I think he's a hilarious guy with a good heart and a bizarre attitude at times.

I agree with this.
Obviously we are only seeing highlights and he will no doubt be irritating at times.. everyone is... but he does try to integrate.
He is very strange... quirky... He was always a bit like that, but it doesn't harm anyone. Some of the HMs need to realise that not everyone thinks the same way and accept Gary for the oddball he is. I find him quite interesting and would probably tend to talk to him more than others in there as I think he would have more interesting things to say, given the life he has led.
