A lot of people had the same reaction to Shane Lynch on tonight’s CBB

Sorry, wha?

We're mahoosive Boyzone fans (like, who isn't?) so we were very excited when the news broke this week that Shane Lynch was entering the Celebrity Big Brother house. The 41-year-old tonight followed in the footsteps of his sister Evanne, who took part in the show in 2014, and promises to shake things up. Between having grown up surrounded by women and claiming that he finds the way women are treated 'disgusting', we reckon Shane could get on very well in the house. Just one thing though - plenty of viewers (including many Irish ones) thought that the boyband star's accent sounded a little unusual on tonight's episode, with one even likening it to Conor McGregor's transatlantic twang.
