That Connor guy just tweeted about 'looking forward to summer' with the side-eyes emoji too

That's different though, they were one or two housemates in the same series and a lot of housemates these days are recruited (don't even think about it, anyone), but eight of them from TV or established backgrounds? That's a little bit different

Also this may be contentious but I'd argue that people from Gogglebox are more known than any of the others here, you cannot put two people from there in a civilian series just as regular housemates without something else actually going on, whether it's a theme, twist, as guests, whatever. It's just not realistic
