Big Brother’s Hallie breaks silence on Jordan and Henry’s romance – and defends ‘bully’ Kerry
BIG Brother star Hallie has broken her silence on the blossoming romance between Jordan and Henry – saying the house are rooting for the pair to get together.
Hallie, 18, who became the third housemate to be evicted on Friday, said that despite the posh pair keeping their flirting on the “down-low”, it is evident to see that they have “chemistry”.
The reality star also insisted that she and the other housemates are oblivious that a “love triangle” is happening between Jordan, Matty and Henry.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Hallie said: “I didn’t see the romance brewing at first but I’ve seen a spark with Jordan and Henry, but I was never aware that there was a little triangle, they lay very low, they definitely lay very low.
“I’m rooting for Henry and Jordan definitely over Jordan and Matty.
“Henry and Jordan are very compatible and cute, it’s amazing and their banter is jokes.”
Hallie was also quick to defend her pal Kerry despite fans slamming the NHS worker as a “bully” and claimed she has been “manipulating” the other housemates.
Crowds outside the house have repeatedly booed Kerry at the live evictions, which have been heard by the other housemates.
After Friday’s eviction, Trish told Jordan and Henry that she thought Hallie was given the boot because of her close friendship with Kerry.
Addressing those comments, Hallie said: “Kerry was my mum in the house and she said to me that I was the daughter she never had, I honestly in my heart feels like she wants nothing but the best for me.
“I had nothing but love from her and she was so genuine and kind to me.
“She was amazing, she was very genuine.
“When I heard the chats of ‘get Kerry out, get Kerry out’, it broke my heart because she is so lovely to me and it broke my heart thinking that her boys at home having to see that…it’s hard, I feel for that.”
When asked if she understood why Kerry has been branded “manipulative” by fans, Hallie replied: “I can’t see that, I only see the good side of her.
“Maybe when I watch it back, I will see things but I don’t know what to expect because I just saw the genuine side of her and nothing but love and she was honest and open.
“Even with Zak, she called him splinters and said he sat on the fence.
“So I don’t understand the manipulative side of it, I never felt like she planted any seeds in my ear, I never felt like she got me to do dirty work, we just had a genuine good relationship.”
She continued: “She moans, she’s a big character and maybe people don’t know how to take her, she’s like Marmite – you either love her or hate her.”
Hallie was also quick to shut down rumours of a “mean girl” energy within the house – with fans suggesting Hallie, Kerry, Olivia and Paul were part of the group.
“I don’t see that there is a mean girl group, I don’t like that,” Hallie explained.
“However, I do feel that me, Kerry and Olivia are big characters, we are outspoken, loud and upfront, so that could be perceived in a mean girl way but we were never mean or horrible or insulting.
“We just spoke our mind and maybe that got perceived in the wrong way, I don’t understand the mean girl narrative.”
