Samuel Minkin divides viewers with his animal impressions on The Bachelorette

He had a short-lived stint on The Bachelorette, after failing to get a rose from Elly and Becky Miles during the show’s premiere episode. 

But it seems Samuel Minkin, 27, has won over fans with his hilarious animal impressions.

On Wednesday night, viewers flocked to Twitter to share their appreciation for his unique and bizarre talent, including one who wrote: ‘Samuel is just my favourite! What a dork!’

‘I love Samuel. I want him all to myself,’ another commented, before a third shared: ‘Samuel might be weird but he has more personality than all of the other men put together.’ 

Others, however, were a little put off by his party trick, with one tweeting: ‘I don’t know if the dolphin kiss is cute or disgusting.’ 

‘Oh dear, Samuel. No,’ quipped another, before a fan of the dating series harshly added: ‘Samuel is fun at parties. For kids. Under 4.’ 

Meanwhile, another fan raised the bar, ever so slightly. ‘Samuel is every guy in year 10,’ they wrote. 

Samuel wasn’t the only gent to show off his talents on screen during The Bachelorette premiere. 

Andrew Thomas, 30, also revealed his ability to mimic Sir David Attenborough. 

As the other men became rowdy and showed off their own animal sounds, the tour guide gave his best impression of the famed natural historian. 

‘Here in the mansion… two sisters wandering, happy, looking for love. And here we have 20… little bit boozed men,’ he said.

Fans clearly liked what they heard, with one tweeting: ‘This David Attenborough bit was a masterclass in video editing! Delightful! Thoroughly enjoyed!’
