From Brentford to Big Brother - friends of carpenter Marcus Akin are rooting for their very own Wolverine to take over the BB house.

Friends of the 35-year-old, who walked into the most talked about house in Britain last night, have already set up a fan group online to get the mullet- loving Londoner through to the main house on Sunday.

Pal Sue Pelton, who grew up with Marcus, said she had no idea he was on the hit summer show until she tuned in last night.

She said: "I grew up with Marcus and like many of his friends I was shocked when I tuned in last night and saw him walk into the house.

"He is such a character, who can get quite angry sometimes but I am sure he will get along with everyone. All his friends are rooting for him.

"We will be voting like crazy to keep him in."

Fansites to Wolverine are already springing up on social networking site Facebook with calls for the cat loving carpenter to scoop the Big Brother 10 crown.

Marcus, who describes himself as "fearless and manly" has a siamese cat who he describes as a "bit of a b*****d".

According to reports Marcus' dream job is to be a porn star and he enjoys the company of naked ladies.
