Rosie is a dental nurse from Cornwall who originates from Essex.

She was the first contestant to be announced and described herself as a tea addict who is frequently described as ‘weird’.

She said she was a ‘chill person’ and said she enjoyed fan fiction.

‘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!

Emma, 53

Emma was the second contestant to be welcomed into the Big Brother house.

The Aesthetics Business owner is from Altrincham, but originally hails from Essex.

The star teased that she doesn’t expect to act her age in the house in an interview before arriving in the house: ‘People ask me if I’m going to be the mother hen in the house – I might have times where I’m the mother hen but generally speaking I’ll be one of the girls. I don’t think I really act my age when I really should so I can’t see myself acting my age in Big Brother.’

Segun, 25

‘My strategy is to be at peace with everyone in the house. I just want to be at peace with everybody no matter how far I make it in the show,’ he said in a pre-show interview.

Segun also said he’s ready to mix with a range of people. ‘I think it’ll be an interesting social experiment to blend with people from all different walks of life,’ he said.
