Gareth Thomas is a retired Welsh professional rugby player who is highly commended for his success and achievements in his sport. After starting his career playing at youth level, Gareth continued his first class career at Bridgend where he stayed and returned to for a number of years.
He made his debut for Wales in 1995 before scoring a Welsh record in 1999 by becoming one of only seven players to score four tries for his country. He continued to break records and in the 2007 Rugby World Cup he created sporting history when he became the first Welshman to win 100 international caps in Rugby Union. He is now listed 11th in the world on the international list of leading rugby union test try scorers.
Known by the nickname “Alfie”, Gareth is famous for his unusual celebration technique. When he scores tries, he slaps his head and has sparked this popular phenomenon amongst his supporters.
Since his retirement in 2011, Gareth has continued to take part in charity work, using his influence to help others. He was voted top of the Pink List 2010 of the 101 most influential gay people in the UK and he received Stonewall’s Hero of the Year award in October 2010.
Since coming out as an openly gay man, Gareth has become a vocal supporter of Childline and has commented that “if [coming out as gay] makes one young lad pick up the phone to Childline, then it will have been
worth it.”

there is somthing about gareth i dont like he seems a bit of show off iliked him at first but now not so sure
how could u not like him he is the most amzing chap in there.
what’s amazing about him?lol i’m 20, i’d never heard of him b4.
aw hes so lovely, proper like this guy
I like Gareth, but please someone tell him to eat with his mouth shut!! Natalie is also one who eats with an open mouth occasionally and it’s very off putting. Mind you as far as table manners go this lot are miles better than the last lot (I’m thinking mostly of Aden here)I still shudder when I think of him eating.

Don’t be daft, you saved the situation, so pleeeease don’t apologise, love Fudge xx
Gareth is kind of like Steve from the 2010 series – they both have interesting pasts (Gareth coming out and Steve with his war trauma) – but beyond those stories, they don’t actually have much to talk about. I have a feeling that Gareth will cruise to the end for being a bland yet likeable housemate and finish third or so…
You may be right there, my first instinct though when I saw him enter was that he would win. My hunches have been wrong though many a time but I wouldnt be surprised tbh. I think my favourite at the moment is definitely Michael but we have another week or so to go.
Gareth has become favourite to win with oddschecker. He is my second favourite so yesssssssss!!! Natalie is 2nd and Michael has gone down to third, most likely due to the fact that he is up for eviction and through his spats with Denise, who, by the way, has gone down to 6th.
who is garagh from big brothers partner called
Gareth is the only one I originally had as fav left now. ,,,nat I don’t know what wrong there ,,and Romeo. He’s running out of time now ,as much as I like him. I don’t think he’s done enough to warrant winning cbb Oh
With Romeo Micro I thought it strange that he should give the reason for nominating Michael as “he should have more respect for Denise, the mother” words to that effect but, he was ok sleeping with her in the single bed. Have gone off of him a bit tbh. x
Gareth and the balloon dance,ha ha.
why do people like him so much! :s he hasn’t done or said ANYTHING!

Evening Microsis. How is the voting going? I’m heading off there now and will probably take some time! Will put a few in for Romeo on your behalf!…..and you do the same for Michael.

why on earth are poeple like him so liked by the house and pulic. he’s downright boring. hasnt contributed nothin to the show. n what little he has said has been mostly insignificant.
WE DONT KNOW THE GUY SO WHY WULD U WANT HIM TO WIN
zac come back missing you.

thught gareth was great tonight so funny, think this could win him the show , what a star, such a nice character. Tonights show brilliant for them all.
Gareths Awsome !!!!!!!!1
Genuinely lovely housemate
LOVE HIM !!! SWEET ..
…STRONG..
FUNNY..
Not sure about Gareth, think he is a nice guy but you have to wonder about the way he deceived his wife about his *** side and of course he also deceived his Rugby mates, sure they are not too pleased to have been naked with him in the showers, dont think he should win, got to be Frankie !!!
just seen last nights bb.gone right off gareth when he told denise he did’nt want to know even though she was upset.but he went up the stair’s to comfort drama queen nicola.could’nt he see with nicola it’s all an act
Sue I get the impression that Gareth is totally fed up with Denise, he said rightly that he didnt want to get involved, the same as Romeo did. It was also the way he told Denise to go to bed, they have had to put up with it since day one. Nicola was trying to get out of the front door it would have been cruel to just to leave her. Denise had Frankie but I feel that Frankie only fuelled the row.
What I cannot understand though is why was it only the girls who were dancing, why not the men? Were they afraid of the final outcome of drink with the girls? The men have been pretty sensible with the exception of Kirk and Frankie and their old chatter.
Nicola wasn’t trying to get through the door, she was doing her old feel sorry for me act. She was trying to get everyone to turn agaiinst Denise and didn’t like it when she tried to get Frankie to not go and see her but Frankie could see what she was doing. Denise shouldn’t have done what she done but she did say sorry and give her a hug. The twins are milking this for more air time. Nicola is like a nasty school bully. if frankie hadn’t gone to her she would have had no one where nicola had the twins.
Sorry Sue I just feel it must be lovely to know what each individual is feeling, none of us can be sure of that. I felt that her emotions were real, they were all upset they had had a bloomin good argument. It ewas upsetting for all.
thats my opinion.im going to stick with it.thanks for your’s.seen her so many tims turn on the tear’s when she’s in the wrong.she didn’t give a sod about anyone else with the letter’s on came the tear’s again then she was getting huged.she knows what she’s doing
Gareth is a dreary old bore.
Jules I do agree that nicola was genuinely upset. Who wouldnt be in that situation.I get upset my self when people get stressed perhaps thats why I feel for Denise .You have to admit she has had a rough ride,more tears than laughter for her.she does bring it down on her self.denise should be singing.
Sorry Sal love, I cannot agree you see in my mind she made it so bad for Michael and she turned the whole house against him. Anyway darlin I think Denise has a good chance of winning with Frankie second. Tonight will tell eh, then we have Friday and then next time BB may be a different story altogether. xx Hope this forum stays open and we have the popularity bar again.
He is so boring and he dose nothing
I totaly agree
Gareth is soooooo Bouring
and he should never win it
Nice enough bloke. I like him, I wouldn’t mind him winning but he has been very quiet at times.
I’d always prefer a good person to beat a bad un.
Gareth gone to second place to win….Oddschecker.
Frankie 1st: Gareth 2nd: Denise 3rd: Michael 4th:
There has been a lot of support for Gareth on the forums today.
