In a Big Brother plot twist few saw coming, BB royalty Tim Dormer has confessed his past feelings for fellow housemate, Ben Zabel.
Speaking on his podcast, The Big Mouth, Tim explained what happened with his and Ben’s friendship post the reality show, confessing there was a time he longed to be more than friends.

“I was wanting to come over and bang your brains out.”
After Ben laughed, Tim assured his friend that he was serious.
“And you left me on read,” the red-head added.
Tim and Reggie both returned for Big Brother 2022.

“You know I had feelings for you that I just didn’t know what to do with,” Time said. “I didn’t not choose you because you were the safe, boring guy, I didn’t choose you because I actually really did love you.
“I didn’t know what to do with it, I wasn’t really ready. And maybe the safer option was the one that I knew was reckless.”
Tim is currently dating Adam Freeth.

The pair quickly became fan favourites as well as frenemies during their time in the house.
Ben’s eviction was met with much despair both from his fellow housemates and those watching at home. Tim, meanwhile, went onto win the season and even made a comeback for the most recent season of Big Brother.
This time around, Tim managed to make it to sixth place, while fellow OG Reggie Sorensen re-claimed the crown.
Off-screen, he is happily dating Adam Freeth.
On Adam’s birthday in July 2021, Tim took to social media to share a tender message to the love of his life.
“Happy Birthday Adam. You’re kind, smart, sexy, strong and secure to challenge & bring out the best in me…everything I’ve been looking for!” Tim penned.
