Big Brother contestants revealed in live show – as one contestant reveals bizarre royal ties

The Big Brother contestants have been announced as the series kicks off.

The brand new series of Big Brother kicked off on Sunday night, with a brand new load of contestants being announced on the night.

All 16 contestants have been announced for the new series of Big Brother and it’s chock-a-block with talent.

AJ Odudu and Will Best have returned as hosts, and were delighted to introduce viewers to 16 new faces who are set to fill our screens with entertainment over the next few weeks.

Rosie, 29

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

Segun is a Charity Videographer from Watford.

‘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.

Nathan, 24

Nathan is a pork salesman from Dumfries in Scotland.

Nathan kicked off the show by saying in a VT that he ‘admired Nigel Farage’ and was a Tory voter.

He also revealed that before he sold pork he used to be King Charles’ butler.

When asked what he’d do with the prize money in a pre-show interview he replied: ‘I’ve had loads of thoughts about that. I’m quite vain. I got composite bonding on my teeth last year. And they stain – I love a glass of red wine so I would get a new set of veneers so I could enjoy a glass of red wine again – I’d like to get back to that.’

Daze, 24

Daze is a Climate activist from London who was the fifth contestant in the house.

The bubbly star looked delighted as she waved to her mum in the crowd as she was welcomed to the stage.

Daze said she wanted to be the ‘best version’ of herself on the show as she said she was looking forward to ‘living in a community.’

‘I’m really looking forward to living in a community. A lot of my work is about how do we upgrade democracy, how do we think about how the world can be governed differently. And a lot of it is about community, and meeting people that you might not meet in your everyday life.

And figuring out how you make solutions together, how you learn to be together, how you learn to set parameters that end up benefiting everyone. This show is a micro version of that,’ she said in a pre-show interview.
