And when asked about the different groups that form in the castle, Mr Jenkins conceded that “human bias” plays a role, but stopped short of suggesting it was of the “racial and cultural” kind Ms Herrold complained of.
“Yeah. It’s a human bias, I suppose. Subconsciously you gravitate towards people you would spend time with outside of the castle,” he told The People’s Channel, on behalf of Buzz Bingo.
“So I went with Ross, Harry, Johnny, those people, I suppose, and Mollie as well. There were different pockets around.”
Rather than race or gender, Mr Jenkins claimed his experience of bias in the castle appeared to revolve around the age of contestants.
