It's unfortunate. Probably put the weight on because he was bullied throughout childhood, assuming his cross-dressing isn't anything new. Turned to food as comfort. Admittedly, first time watching Big Brother 'anything' (UK, U.S., Canada), but actually know one of the U.K. house members, so a good reason to try it out. Noticeable time commitment.
