Name: Dylan Age: 39 From: Coventry Occupation: DJ What made you apply to be a Big Brother housemate? I saw one of the ads on TV and I thought, I've had so many people over the years say to me that I should be a reality TV show because I'm a character. So when I saw it, I thought, you know what, I'll give it a go and now here I am! What part of the experience are you most looking forward to? I always like meeting new people and having new hurdles to jump as an amputee. It's going to be an interesting journey to see if I can do whatever we’re asked without having any problems with staying on my leg for a certain amount of time and doing all the tasks.

I've got multiple sclerosis and so the reason why I never applied before is because I always saw those whacking great big stairs to get into the house. It just felt a little bit unachievable because for the first three years of my illness I was in a wheelchair. When I saw it was coming back and searching for real people from all walks of life, I thought, this is my year. What part of the experience are you most looking forward to?

Name: Olivia Age: 23 From: Glasgow Occupation: Dancer What made you apply to be a Big Brother housemate? I grew up watching the show and I've always said if it ever comes back, I want to do it. I just think I fit the brief because I've got personality to sell and this is the best place for it. What part of the experience are you most looking forward to? The fact that it’s gonna be like being in a completely alternate universe. It’s a totally surreal experience. I like to meet people, I’m quite a social being. I think just the overall experience of getting to disappear for a few weeks and take part in something that's so excluded from normal day to day...[Read more] |

Name: Henry Age: 25 From: Cotswolds Occupation: Food Writer What made you apply to be a Big Brother Housemate? I’ve been a fan of the show, particularly in its later years. I think it's a very unique opportunity that not many people get to do. I don't think I really had my moment of craziness growing up. I know a lot of people went to do a gap year after uni but I went down quite a normal road and I thought, if not now, then when? What part of the experience are you most looking forward to? I am actually really looking forward to learning lots of life skills, like learning how to cook, clean, or do the washing. I'm 25 but I'm not an adult. These are some big...[Read more] |

Just being in there because I’ve always wanted to go in. Just the experience as a whole. How would your friends and family describe you? Extroverted to say the least.

Name: Matty Age:24 From: Isle of Man Occupation: Doctor What made you apply to be a Big Brother Housemate? I want to experience everything before I die, and I just thought why not do something mad like this? I used to watch Big Brother when I was like, 9 or 10 past my bedtime with my mom. I grew up in such a small place on the Isle of Man where I didn't really see many people who felt like me. I remember watching Big Brother and I could see myself in all these characters from a cross section of society, and I thought like, oh, maybe I would fit in there. So I just always wanted to apply.

I feel like it's one of those shows where you can get your personality across and I've got one of those personalities I feel the world needs to see. My friends and family have always told me I should do TV and I never really wanted to do a dating show. I want to do a show where I could just be myself and get my personality out there and have a laugh with people. What part of the experience are you most looking forward to? Doing the tasks, having fun and getting to know loads of strangers. I'm excited to meet everyone and see what everyone's about. I don't really know...[Read more] |

I was quite disillusioned with life so I suppose boredom made me apply to some extent. I honestly applied on a whim. I'm interested in the social experiments side of Big Brother. I don't really like the idea of living with people but I thought I might as well give it a try. And I wanted to challenge myself. What part of the experience are you most looking forward to? Being fed and watered, not having to pay bills and having that decked out house in which to live. How would your friends and family describe you? ...[Read more] |

I I think it's another adventure for me. I'm a pretty adventurous person. What part of the experience are you most looking forward to? I’m most excited about being surrounded by so many people from different walks of life. I don't think I will ever live in a house again with so many different kinds of people. I’m from China and I think it will help me be more immersed in British culture. How would your friends and family describe you? My boyfriend would describe me in three words -...[Read more] |

I always wanted to apply back in the day, my friends would always be like ‘I think you'd be good in there, you're quite mouthy’! When I saw it was coming back I thought it was the universe telling me something so I just went for it. Also because I want to humanise refugees and immigrants, especially in this political climate. I want people to see that behind the stats and figures, there are real humans. We are important simply because we exist, not only when we participate in capitalism. We matter because we are alive and breathing - no human is illegal! What part of the experience are...[Read more] |

Name: Farida Age: 50 From: Wolverhampton Occupation: Make-Up Artist What made you apply to be a Big Brother housemate? I'm very proud of who I am and I feel like Asian women and Asian culture is underrepresented on TV. A lot of people think that wearing a headscarf might stop you from having opportunities, whereas for me, it's been completely the opposite. I embrace it with confidence and it's actually given me lots of opportunities. I want to let people know that us Muslims, we really aren't suppressed. I'm far from suppressed - I used to be a holiday rep! What part of the experience are you most looking forward to?

Loud and messy and irritating probably. Tell us an interesting fact about yourself... I'm fluent in Welsh, that’s a slay? And I can probably rap Cardi B's album start to finish.
