Big Brother fans can’t believe housemate Nathan’s age as Prince Charles’ butler joins new line-up
BIG Brother housemate Nathan has had fans talking, as many can’t get over the former royal employee’s age.
Nathan King has entered the Big Brother house alongside other housemates for the launch of the new ITV series.
The pork salesman used to work as a royal butler from aged 17, and despite having such a prestigious role and already switching careers he is only in fact 24.
Nathan’s age has been a shock to ITV viewers, with many left unsure if it was true.
Taking to social media, many viewers just couldn’t get over Nathan’s age.
One person wrote: “24?! He looks older than me!”
Another shared: “He looks 40!”
“24 in dog years,” joked another.
Before being a pork salesman, Nathan held a job in the royal household and worked for King Charles.
In 2017, he landed the position of butler at the royal household at the Dumfries House estate in Ayrshire.
Aged just 17, the role saw him carry out household and personal tasks in the 18th-century home for both Charles and Camilla.
At the time, he told the Daily Record: “I’ve had the honour of serving at a couple of dinners during His Royal Highness’s visits to Dumfries House.
“I very much enjoy being a butler here and there’s always something very different to deal with.”
However now the former royal aid turned meat salesman has now decided to try his luck at reality TV, and see what the Big Brother house olds.
Speaking about why he wanted to be on the show, Nathan told ITV: “I applied purely for the experience.
“I like to do new things, and like to try and push myself, and wanted to have an experience like no other.”
Before going on the show, he talked about what he’ll bring to the famous house.
Nathan said: “I’m enthusiastic and fun.
“I will bring a lot of opinions. I like to have a spirited debate.
“I’m quite a strong character. If I think something’s wrong, I’ll call it out as being wrong – I’m not afraid to do that.
“I think most importantly I’ll bring a lot of fun. I’m going in to enjoy the experience and have a good time. “
