TWO NEW MEN ENTER THE BIG BROTHER HOUSE
(tx Friday 8 June at 10.30pm on Channel 4)

Tonight, in a special show hosted by Davina McCall, another two men entered the Big Brother house. Gerry and Seány arrived separately and entered the compound in front of a crowd. For a week, Ziggy has been the sole man living in the all-girl household - will the arrival of two male companions herald a new era of male bonding? And what will the women make of their two new male housemates?

Name: Gerry
Age: 31
From: South London (originally from near Athens, Greece)
Occupation: Art Gallery Researcher
Status: Single

Gerry grew up in Greece and moved to the UK twelve years ago. He describes himself as "a hedonistic hypocrite". He was a university student for a total of nine years and has a degree in History and Theory of Art and an MSC in classical archaeology. He sees Big Brother as a "living specimen installation".

Gerry has had numerous jobs since graduating, and has worked in various well known art galleries and museums. His dream job would be managing the antiquities department at Christie's whilst being a successful historical novelist.

Gerry says he is offended by "uneducated, common people", admits to being a "total control freak" and deals with stress by practising Ashtanga Yoga. If he could meet anyone it would be Sigmund Freud "to discuss psychoanalysis, human nature, taboos and instincts". He believes in the after-life, has four wardrobes full of clothes but says his life would be vastly improved by a dressing room and a personal butler.

Gerry admires Paris Hilton and his music tastes range from Basement Jaxx to Scissor Sisters, Madonna to Nina Simone and his favourite book is "100 Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Being teetotal, Gerry says sex is his only vice.


Name: Seány
Age: 25
From: Manchester (originally from Derry, N. Ireland)
Occupation: Charity Worker
Status: Single

Seány says he was popular at school but missed out on being a head pupil as the teachers thought it would go to his head. In his late teens, as part of a project, he went to the White House to visit Hilary Clinton, whom he had written a poem for. Seány has dabbled in acting and had a bit-part in the movie Bloody Sunday, playing a character called Hugh, before realising that acting wasn't for him.

Seány went to the United States to watch the Michael Jackson trial with his friend who is a Michael Jackson impersonator. He says his dream job would be inventing and testing new toys and describes himself as having big hair and big attitude. In five years time he wants to be living up a tree in the Lake District.

Seány's guilty secret is that he loves Girls Aloud and admits he is heavy handed with the amount of toilet roll he uses. He says he would be a very energetic housemate as he's never really had an enemy in his life - he'd be the person who would make the public smile.

Seany using loads of toilet roll could be an interesting upset to the house, considering they are tragically short!

Gerry and Seány are just incredible, I think they are really funny and interesting to watch ! We will have a great show with them for sure !
Gerry has a great personality, it would be a big character in the house.
Seány is what we need in order to have some fun, he's "in an other world", that's wicked !
