Celebrity Big Brother: Jack P. Shepherd’s: The tension is thick in the Celebrity Big Brother house, and it’s not just the housemates feeling the heat. As the countdown to the first eviction approaches, Jack P. Shepherd’s brother, Tom, has stepped in with a fiery defense, taking aim at his sibling’s fellow celebrities and their reasons for nominating Jack for eviction. Tom’s response on social media has added an extra layer of drama to an already explosive season. But what exactly did he say, and how is this family showdown unfolding?
A Brother’s Defiant Stand: Tom Fires Back
On Thursday, as the drama unfolded on our TV screens, Jack P. Shepherd found himself at the center of a nomination storm. The Coronation Street star was voted for eviction by eight of his fellow celebrities, placing him in danger of being the first to leave the Big Brother house. Now, we all know that reality TV isn’t just about who gets voted out—it’s about the spice, the drama, and, of course, the social media responses that come with it.

And that’s where Tom Shepherd, Jack’s brother, decided to take matters into his own hands. On Instagram, Tom shared a passionate post that took aim at the housemates who had been critical of Jack, revealing a side of the drama that viewers don’t always see on camera.
The Housemates’ Nominations: What Sparked the Backlash?
So, why did Jack P. Shepherd land himself in the hot seat for the first eviction? Let’s take a closer look at the reasons given by the housemates, which Tom later tore apart in his post.
- The Aftershave Drama: Let’s start with Donna Preston, who seemed to have a real issue with Jack’s fragrance. In a bizarre nomination explanation, Donna complained that Jack wore too much aftershave, describing it as a “cocktail” of scents that “cut the back of [her] throat.” It’s hard to imagine this being a genuine reason to vote someone out, but hey, it’s Big Brother—anything goes!
- The Joker Comparison: Patsy Palmer’s nomination raised some eyebrows as well. She explained that Jack reminded her of The Joker—yes, the creepy villain from the Batman franchise. According to Patsy, Jack’s face gave her “nightmares,” and she simply couldn’t sleep next to him. This was, without a doubt, one of the most peculiar reasons for a nomination we’ve ever heard.
- The “Stand-Offish” Accusations: Chesney Hawkes joined the ranks, claiming that Jack’s “stand-offish” nature made him hard to connect with. Chesney described himself as “touchy-feely” and admitted that Jack’s reluctance to engage in that same type of physical affection made him question whether they were friends. But is being a bit reserved really grounds for an eviction nomination?
- A “Snake” with a Dark Sense of Humor: Trisha Goddard’s take on Jack was, well, a little venomous. She compared Jack to a snake, claiming his dark humor made him come across as “coiled up” and ready to strike. She seemed to suggest that Jack’s humor was a little too sharp and that he had a tendency to pop in and make sharp, unexpected comments.
- The “Game Plan” Theory: JoJo Siwa and Ella Rae Wise also weighed in, hinting that Jack might have a hidden agenda. JoJo described him as a man “doing Jack”—focused on himself and not necessarily caring for others. Ella, on the other hand, believed Jack was playing a long-term game and wasn’t revealing his true self to the group. Could Jack’s aloof behavior be part of a bigger strategy? Only time will tell.
Tom Shepherd’s Fiery Instagram Response: The Gloves Are Off
After hearing the harsh critiques, Jack’s brother Tom was not about to sit idly by. He took to Instagram with a scathing response, targeting the housemates and their reasons for voting his brother out. In a post that was later shared with The Sun, Tom wrote:
“So just to catch up… All the females in the Big Brother house hate my little brother because he either likes too much aftershave or sits back and listens to conversations without interrupting and saying too much!”
But Tom didn’t stop there. He took aim at a couple of specific housemates, including Chesney Hawkes and Patsy Palmer. He joked, “Meanwhile Chesney Hawkes is fuming Jack won’t let him touch him so he’s gotta go!” and took a dig at Patsy, quipping, “And Bianca is upset Jack looks like the Joker on a morning instead of her beloved Ricky!”
But the real zinger came when Tom fired shots at the other contestants. He wrote, “So… my Little Bro is up against Hollywood Titan Mickey ‘homophobic sex seducing’ Rourke and Michael ‘let’s show my a**e by the hot tub for views’ Fabricant! Who goes YOU decide. Just be like me Jack x.”
What Does This All Mean?
As Friday’s eviction looms, fans are on the edge of their seats, wondering whether Jack P. Shepherd will survive his first brush with elimination. Will the public buy into the drama surrounding his nominations, or will the Twitter and Instagram defenses from Tom Shepherd make a difference?
