Ex-JFS student jeered on entering Big Brother house
Former JFS student Matthew Davies entered the Big Brother house last Thursday, telling viewers he was “not the typical 23-year-old Jewish boy”.
The media studies graduate from Hertfordshire provoked jeers as he entered the house, following a video clip in which he said, “I went to the largest Jewish school in Europe. Everyone was quite spoilt, money comes naturally really.”
Davies described himself as a “troublemaker” who can be “quite intolerant of a lot of people”. He also said he is “stereotypically feminine” and “camp”, despite having a girlfriend of five years.
