Big Brother News

Daley Ojuederie continues his stint in the Big Brother House but has ‘come out of his shell more’ it seems.
The Pro Boxer from London is causing a stir with his mutual attraction with model Hazel O’Sullivan.
However, the Irish beauty is currently up for eviction this week so Daley’s ‘connection’ with her may be short-lived.
Hazel dated Irish Olympic Bronze Medallist – Boxer Darren Sutherland, who tragically took his own life in 2009. Daley used to spar with him.
