‘Please tune in on ITV1 at 20:55 pm to watch the episode, and see how powerful my brain really is!! Can you get the 1% question? Good luck.
‘P.S Just in case anyone is confused, I was given the name ‘Runrun’ on the show, but it’s still me, I don’t have a twin.’
Fans quickly took to the comments to say the name change was ‘outrageous’ and ‘unacceptable’.
‘Sad that a major production can’t pronounce your name.’
‘Seen loads of comments on changing ur name I find that outrageous! Completely unacceptable.’
‘I’m sorry they changed your name, cannot see how Yinrun could be difficult for anyone to pronounce. Even if it was, they should learn it. Glad you r joked the experience though!’

The show, which is hosted by Lee Mack, tests 100 members of the public’s intelligence, common sense and logic with questions that ascend in order of difficulty according to what proportion of the wider public can answer them – 90 per cent, 80 per cent, down to one per cent.
Yinrun was a fan favourite throughout her time in the Big Brother house and was the favourite to win for several weeks.
She ultimately made it to the final and finished in fourth place with her housemate Jordan Sangha winning the show and the £100,000 prize.
