Its LESS deceptive than previous 'geordies' on the show. Liam was presented to us as a geordie, yet was from lanchester. Anthony was apparently a geordie, but he was from Consett. Alex was a geordie, yet she was from Shields.

I don't agree Vicky..... given his whole persona of being just a normal, hard working, no real money, wants to give his mam money - he made out on the show that he wasn't from a priviledged background: when clearly he has got trappings of wealth, and that is funded by a wealthy family.

Now nothing wrong with the wealthy family, or where he lived.....but it is the duplicitious nature and maner in which he portrayed himself (constantly) as being some regular Joe, struggling to make ends meet type thing.
