Thomas Atkinson

Thomas Atkinson is an English international amputee footballer, digital creator, and television personality who starred on Series 21 of Big Brother UK (2024). Born without a left hand and having his left leg amputated at age two, he completely defied medical predictions by developing a massive career in sports. He serves as a decorated goalkeeper, accumulating 26 caps for the England Amputee National Football Team and famously captaining Portsmouth to an FA Disability Cup Final victory. Inside the Big Brother house, his high-energy, chatty personality made him a central figure for 37 days before being evicted in 7th place. Following the show, he launched a daily running campaign to raise funds for the Amputee Football World Cup.
