The free-spirited yoga-lover managed to avoid nomination this week after his housemates were asked to give positive nominations, choosing two people they wanted to stay in the house.

And despite being one of the show’s more "marmite" contestants, as it were, Lewis Flanagan received two positive noms, meaning he’s looking more and more likely the favourite to win.

However, concern is quickly growing among fans over the state of the bartender’s health.

The hunky contestant has been displaying some rather erratic behaviour in recent weeks as he struggles to deal with life inside the house.

In between numerous rants and tears in the diary room, there was also that awkward breakdown in the bathtub.

And let’s not forget multiple arguments with pretty much all of his housemates.

But Tuesday night’s show saw Lewis show off his perhaps jealous and insecure side, furthermore as he revealed he wasn’t too happy about best pal Cameron getting close to Akeem.

And after bringing up the subject with Cameron in the kitchen, viewers at home were quick to express their concern over Lewis’s mental health.

One user wrote: “He shouldn't have gone in if he has all those issues, he needs help.”

Another user agreed, tweeting: “I’m starting to really worry about Lewis now! He clearly has severe anxiety and even his 'best friend' is using it against him! @bbuk if housemates wellbeing comes first, why are you letting him get like this without trying to help him? It's triggering #BBUK.”

While a third viewer chimed: “You can be surrounded by people but if you feel no-one understands, it can make you feel alone. Anxiety is very hard to control if things around seem to back it up can fuel it even more. Lewis felt that Cameron was different. He’s not dumb, so naturally he is upset. Cameron was his bestie in the house, he’s hurt because he’s human.”

And a final person tweeted: “Feel quite uncomfortable watching #bbuk⁠ ⁠the last few days. Lewis clearly has issues with anxiety among other things. Comments and lack of understanding from those inside and outside the house are awful to hear #bbuklewisf @bbuk @iamlewisdean."

Although, not everyone was quite so concerned, with some viewers insinuating that Lewis might be playing up to the cameras.

One user tweeted: “Lewis always suffers from ‘anxiety’ and ‘paranoia’ when 1/ he wants to be a headline on the show (which is at least every 15 minutes) 2/ doesn’t get his own way 3/ gets nominated 4/ doesn’t get nominated 5/ when someone tells him how much of a d*** he is. Funny that!”

While a final person didn’t hold back, writing: “Public, do not let this hateful guy win!”
