Why did you apply to be on this new series of Big Brother?
This is something I’ve always wanted to do and I know it’s so easy to say but it’s the best opportunity. I can’t tell you how grateful I am. I can’t even believe it’s happening!
What do you think you’ll bring to the house?
I’m hoping it’s going to be a little something different. I think I’m going to bring positive energy. I am a good listener and I can be there to support people – I’m a supportive person. I’m quite an enthusiastic person so if people are feeling a bit low, I can get them back on track.
What are you looking forward to the most about being a housemate?
Everything! There is not one thing that I am not excited about. I’m so excited to meet people – I love meeting new people. I’m so excited to play the tasks. Every time I watch it, I always think ‘that looks so silly, I want to do that so badly!’
Do you have a strategy for making it to the final?
No! I think it’s about being your most authentic self. The viewers aren’t dumb – they can sniff out manufactured drama. They are literally watching us all the time, they can tell who is real and who isn’t. People might not like it but that’s all I can do – be myself.
What are you most likely to get nominated for?
If people get to know me, I’m so calm and chill but I can come across quite chaotic. I think I’d probably be nominated for being the most annoying.
Tell us one thing about yourself you think will surprise people the most?
I’m really calm and chilled which people won’t be expecting. One of the things that I think is most surprising is that I’m quite realistic. I’m quite self-aware. But I’m always saying things and then thinking ‘why would you say that? That’s so silly.’
Who would be your dream celebrity to live with?
I bloody love Jordan North – I absolutely love him. I think he is so funny.
What would you do with the money if you won?
I have a few friends that I’d love to pay for them to have IVF treatment. I would also like to help people with mental health issues. I like helping people anyway but if I had money I’d be in a better position to do that. I’d also love to help dog charities – I love dogs!
