BIG Brother fans have been left doing a double take after housemate Jenny’s real age was revealed.
Viewers of the ITV reality series – who previously hailed the Derry lass as the early show winner – were left floored by her recent confession.

Jenny has become a stand-out star on this year’s Big Brother thanks to her quirky antics and kind and caring nature.
She has become a voice of reason in the house with fans praising her ability to ask difficult and pressing questions to her fellow housemates in a calm manner in order to find out about their juiciest backstories.
The make-up artist discussed at length with Gani about his forced cousin marriage, sexuality and fatherhood as well as helping Elsa Rae with her romance woes and Zelah on his gender transition.
Yet it is her own personal information – this being that she is aged 20 – that has sparked a fresh debate.
One show fan took to X to write: “Can’t believe Jenny is only 20.”
Another commented: “Sorry just found out Jenny is younger than me?! Wdym 20 huh.”
WINNING MATERIAL?
Jennys bubbly persona has seen her rise in the ranks among fans with many now predicting that she will be crowned the champion.
Taking to X, former show runner-up Raph Korine even got behind her as he said: “Jenny could become the new host of the show, I love how inquisitive our Derry Queen is.
“Winner material right there.”
Someone else echoed his thoughts as they said: “Idk about you guys but right now Jenny is so so up there for one of my fav #BBUK housemates ever.
“Definitely winner material for me.”
A third said: “Desperately need Jenny to make history and become the first person from the north of Ireland to win.”
TOUGH TIME
Yet despite her popularity, Jenny has endured a tough time in the spy house of late.

She has ben called out for a rule break by Big Brother after she was caught out for discussing nominations.
She also was criticised for accidentally revealing housemate Zelah as transgender.
Pulling him aside later in the evening, Jenny told him: “I’m really f***ing sorry. I didn’t know that everyone didn’t know.”
Zelah said: “OK. I don’t think it came from a malicious place.”
Jenny cut in, adding: “I didn’t mean it. It wasn’t from a bad place at all.”
Viewers reacted to the difficult moment, with one writing: “Love Jenny but that was such a weird thing to say I’m sorry.”
Someone else added: “Oh Jenny. I feel bad for her but also Zelah because that must’ve been hard for him to have the others find out like that.”
Another said: “Oh Jenny. It wasn’t malicious but it was very thoughtless.”
“Jenny, why would you say that?”, asked a fan.
Zelah – who is a personal trainer – transitioned two years ago.
Zelah has explained that if he did walk away with the prize money it would go towards his business, “training LGBT people and women.”
