Jack P Shepherd’s furious brother slams CBB housemates as he faces axe TONIGHT
JACK P Shepherd’s brother has launched a scathing attack on the Celebrity Big Brother housemates in a fiery Instagram post.
Protective sibling Tom defended the actor as he faces potential eviction from the house tonight.
Posting to his private Instagram account today, he shared a selfie of the pair alongside a meme that read: “Everybody just wants to be liked and accepted. Except for Tom. Tom doesn’t give a s**t.”
As seen by The Sun, he then unleashed a blistering commentary on Jack’s co-stars, who had nominated him for the boot.
He 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!”
He went on to single out singer Chesney Hawkes and TV personality Patsy Palmer, who plays Bianca Jackson in EastEnders.
Tom added: “Meanwhile Chesney Hawkes is fuming Jack won’t let him touch him so he’s gotta go! And Bianca is upset Jack looks like the Joker on a morning instead of her beloved Ricky!”
Jack is currently up for eviction alongside Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke and former MP Michael Fabricant – both of whom were criticised in the same post.
Tom continued: “So…….. my Litte Bro is up against Hollywood Titan Mickey ‘homophobic sex seducing’ Rourke and Micheal ‘let’s show my arse by the hot tub for views’ Fabricant!
“Who goes YOU decide. Just be like me Jack x.”
Fans were left baffled when Jack, who rose to fame playing David Platt on ITV’s long-running soap, racked up a whopping eight nominations from his fellow housemates.
But for many, the bigger shock was how little airtime Jack had received in the lead-up to the bombshell result.
Some believe producers are deliberately cutting scenes to give the soap star a favourable edit – especially after suggestions he’d been making jokes that some housemates didn’t find funny.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one wrote: “I think ITV are protecting their own talent by not airing Jack P Shepards ‘dark humour’ jokes.”
Another added: “Jack getting the most nominations, but the least airtime means ITV are giving him a very good edit.”
Someone else agreed: “He’s an ITV employee and they’re protecting the image of one of their own.”
A third said: “jack seems unpopular in the house,” while one more noted, “Lots of nominations for Jack… interesting.”
Jack faced the harshest criticism from his co-stars during the first round of nominations.
He was picked by comic Donna Preston for wearing too much aftershave, and by Towie star Ella Rae Wise for having “a game plan”.
Patsy accused him of “looking like The Joker” in the dark and said it terrified her.
Trisha Goddard chose Jack because he behaved like “a snake” – saying he sits quietly before “biting” – while Danny Beard said the actor told jokes to offend rather than get a laugh.
But whoever stays or goes, the star will walk away with a massive pay cheque.
The Sun revealed Jack is one of the higher earners pocketing £100,000 for his time on the show.
Tory MP-turned-reality star Michael, 74, is raking in an eye-watering £120,000.
Mickey, 72, landed a mammoth £500,000 fee – the most out of all of the cast.
The eviction bombshell was revealed after housemates were called to the Diary Room to give their nominations.
Angelica Bell picked Michael saying he makes her feel “invisible” in the house.
In a surprise move, Michael nominated Patsy Palmer because she offended him when she asked his reason for wearing a wig.
A shaken Ella Rae Wise was seen nominating Chesney Hawkes, accusing him of ignoring her all week, and also Jack – accusing him of having a game plan to win.
First Week Nominations Results Revealed
Chris Hughes and Daley Thompson were immune - while Mickey Rourke was already put up for eviction by JoJo Siwa's killer nomination.
- Angelica Bell nominated Michael and Jack
- Jack P. Shepherd nominated Danny and Donna
- Michael Fabricant nominated Patsy and Ella
- JoJo Siwa nominated Michael and Jack
- Ella Rae Wise nominated Jack and Chesney
- Daley Thompson nominated Michael and JoJo
- Chris Hughes nominated Michael and Angellica
- Mickey Rourke nominated Patsy and Michael

Rourke is already facing the first public vote after JoJo Siwa was handed a killer nomination earlier this week.
He sealed his spot on the chopping board when he used a homophobic slur which left her in tears and then received a warning from Big Brother.
Daley Thompson and Chris Hughes are also immune from the nominations, after Guardian Angel Rourke offered to ‘protect’ Daley and Chris won an immunity prize.
With Jack and Michael receiving the most votes, they’ll now face the public vote in the live eviction.
If either is booted out they’ll have spent just four days in the house and will still walk away with six figures.
