As he refers to it as a “social experiment,” former Big Brother star Marcus Akin has posted a request to fans on GoFundMe asking them to donate £3,500 to help him pay for medical treatment.
A former Big Brother star who appeared on the shown sixteen years ago has taken the drastic step of asking for £3,500 in donations in order to pay for ongoing medical treatment. Marcus Akin , who also goes by the name of The Dark Horse, has claimed that his desperate plea is more of a “social experiment” than anything else.
Marcus had been working as a window fitter while living with his mother before entering the popular TV show, where he stayed for 13 weeks.
Marcus made the most of his newfound fame by making appearances in two movies, including Zombie Hood and Zombie From Ireland, after his eviction.
However, he has started using GoFundMe to ask the general public for money more than ten years later.
He remarked, “Hello friends, this is my appeal. Let’s get to the point. There is no other way I can get things done than by trying this. Please bear with me because it has many layers. I need private medical care in particular, but getting money is what matters most to me. Later, I’ll talk more about that.
He continued, “I’m sick and tired of working myself to death without any reward.” I’m sick of paying too much for food. I and everyone I know struggle while watching bad people (mostly the political class) lead an easy life. A man created a crowdfund asking for £1, which I saw on social media and saw go viral. The same thing applies to this one, but it’s a little different.
Marcus continued: “I have been on the waiting list for actual treatment (an operation, rather than injections that do not work) for over 7 years now. As part of the experiment I must now conclude that the bean counters who run the NHS do not think I am worthy of treatment. I’m pretty sure given the current climate that I would not receive any benefits should I not be able to work, besides it not being in my character to even ask.”
Any money raised would be used for private operations, according to the former reality TV star, adding that “they aren’t cheap.” According to Marcus, the overall cost is a staggering £37, 000.
He went on to say: “Despite my ailments, I have only taken time off work when I have had operations (lumbar injections that did not work in 2024, and a gastronemeus release last Christmas).”
He claims to have already purchased “private treatments and medical” equipment for £10,000. Finally, it might seem as though I detest the NHS, he said as he finished his argument. I don’t . I detest the heartless management class, which funnels money to dedicated doctors and nurses. The real heroes are. Everyone, I appreciate you. See what this will lead to.
Marcus had raised £10 of his target of £3,500, according to The Sun at the time of publication.
If only he would launch a Facebook page to review his series or provide behind-the-scenes information, said a reality TV show fan. I’d be happy to subscribe and make a month’s worth of that. I recently watched his series, which made me want to see what he was up to, and I noticed how sad his Twitter is all about begging for assistance from the alt-right pipeline.
Another user wrote, “I hope he gets better, but writing you’re above applying for benefits when you’re in a position where you’re obviously needing them is a wild take.” Is he trying to fit into the big brother social experimentation, as he would refer to it as an “experiment”?
A third person continued, “Yes, absolutely! I wonder how much of his pride is there. He wants to ask for money or assistance, but is attempting to use it as an experiment to avoid coming across weak or desperate? I sincerely hope he improves and would voluntarily sign up for a Patreon if he so desired, as I sincerely believe he will have a keen eye for nostalgic/bts content fans’ desires.
A fourth person chimed in and said, “Whether you want to claim welfare or not, there is a benefit pot.” What’s the point of paying taxes if, however, you can’t use funding when you need it? In any case, he appears to be a self-pitying waster.
