BIG Brother has made a triumphant return to telly.
The reality show has been rebooted on ITV and one of the housemates hoping to last the distance in the famous house is Dylan.
Who is Dylan?
In the Big Brother house is Dylan, a 39-year-old DJ from Coventry.
When asked why he decided to apply for the show, he told ITV: "I saw one of the ads on TV and I thought, I've had so many people over the years say to me that I should be a reality TV show because I'm a character.
"So when I saw it, I thought, you know what, I'll give it a go and now here I am!"
The DJ describes himself as "a loud, positive and musical person".

How did Dylan lose his leg?
Dylan revealed during the BB launch show that he was hit head-on by a taxi in Tenerife, which resulted in his foot snapping in half.
Tragically medics were unable to save it, and in 2017 his leg was amputated.
Dylan fought to learn to walk and documented his journey online.
In his first YouTube video, Dylan explained that initially medics had saved his foot, but he could never really walk properly on it.

"Over the two years I've had problems with it," he explained.
"It gets infected, it swells up when it's hot, it hurts inside when it's cold.
"Every month for the past year and a half I've had some sort of problem with it."
But after antibiotics didn't work the second time, Dylan was told he would need a below-the-knee amputation.
On his Big Brother launch night VT he said he was hoping to prove he can do whatever is asked of him in the house, "without having any problems".
