Nadia comes calling
MEET Nadia Almada, the British Big Brother winner who will enter the Gold Coast house tonight.
But not all is what it seems with the UK series five winner.
Nadia was born a boy and at the age of just 12 underwent surgery to become a woman.
Having won the hearts of British viewers with the story of her transformation, producers here have brought Nadia to Australia to liven up the last week of the series before the winner is announced next Monday.
The last-minute decision saw the network airlift the London-based bank clerk from Portugal where she was visiting family and onto the first available flight to Australia at the weekend.
She touches down on the Gold Coast this morning and goes into the house for three days.
She will not be eligible to win the show, will not receive any prizes and will talk openly to the housemates about her sex change.
So popular was Nadia in the UK, she won the show with 74 per cent of the nation's vote.
She has become such hot property veteran punk band The Gonads wrote a hit song, Nadia I Love You, dedicated to her.
From her high-pitched laugh to her hissy fits when her cigarettes were taken from her, the Brits have labelled her the "best contestant Big Brother has ever had".
In the overseas show Nadia explained why she didn't want to tell the housemates that she used to be a man.
As for showering naked in the house? All she wears is a pair of 10cm high heels.
