EMILY, 25 NORTHAMPTON, POLITICAL EVENTS MANAGER image.png Why did you apply to be on this new series of Big Brother? I applied because I love doing things for the plot. I love a fun experience and meeting new people. And I guess this is just another crazy chapter in my very crazy life! What do you think you?ll bring to the House? I'll definitely bring a lot of noise. But also, a lot of excitement and enthusiasm. I'm so enthusiastic that people often think I'm being sarcastic. However, I will definitely bring fun, so I'll make sure that nobody is bored in the house. What are you looking forward to the most about being a Housemate? I'm looking forward to meeting all the other housemates. Working in politics, I've met all sorts of characters, so I'm definitely used to a big range of personalities. But I just love meeting new people and seeing what they have to offer. Do you have a strategy for making it to the final? I haven't really thought about a strategy, although I do think people look at me and think I'm very ditzy because I've got blonde hair and fake nails. So, I think that could definitely play to my advantage, because they better watch out! I'm actually a lot cleverer. What are you most likely to get nominated for?? I think I'm most likely to be nominated for talking too much or being too loud, because I just let the impulsive thoughts out when there's something I want to say. I can't stand silence. I have to fill the silence all the time. So, I'm sure that might give some Housemates a headache, but I think it's fun. Tell us one thing about yourself you think will surprise people the most. People are often surprised that I'm into politics because maybe I don't fit the normal stereotype. Also, I'm a massive football fan - I go to home and away games by myself. Up the Villa! What would you do with the money if you won? If I win the money, I want to go on holiday. First and foremost, treat the girls. But then, I think I'd be a bit sensible and maybe put some aside. But that?s kind of boring, so who knows, I might just end up splashing it all and having a good time! ENDS

ZELAH, 25 SOUTH LONDON, PERSONAL TRAINER image.png Why did you apply to be on this new series of Big Brother? I'm in this weird in-between where I've recently left the corporate world into having a bit of a looser schedule while I get qualified and build my business, so it felt like a ?why not? situation. I?m someone who doesn't have much of a social battery that runs out, so I'm very intrigued to see how far that goes in the house. Also, being trans, I think that a lot of the media narrative at the moment is taken out of our hands, and it will be nice to re-centre that and retake control. Shows like Big Brother show the normality of people - you can't get more personal than watching someone 24/7. What do you think you?ll bring to the House? I'm quite an energetic person. I think that's both a strength and a weakness. I might get a little bit unbearable without the gym - that's definitely my main coping mechanism for the chaotic-ness of the energy I have. I'm very social - I'm someone who takes on the role of the rounder-upper. I like to organise things, I like to do things in a group. I?d like to think that I'd contribute to group work in the house. And I'm really looking forward to the tasks, so I think I'd be someone who can throw themselves into that. What are you looking forward to the most about being a Housemate? I've set myself an aim to make at least one good friend in the House ? I?d love that. I think being able to connect with people will be something I?m quite intrigued by. It will be nice to be around a combination of different people that otherwise I wouldn't necessarily have met. And the tasks - I think the tasks could be quite fun. Do you have a strategy for making it to the final? No. I have a strategy for coping. I?m aware that when you?re in there you apparently forget about the cameras. I'm hoping I do because there's a lot of pressure to try and get things right. My main aim is to not hold my personality back out of fear of getting things wrong. I would like to win, I would like to get to the final, but I don?t really have a strategy on how to get there. What are you most likely to get nominated for? I can be quite opinionated but I'd like to think that wouldn't necessarily be a reason to nominate me. My strategy for those situations is to talk it out. I think also maybe food (or lack of) might be another reason for me being nominated. I can get very hangry. That might get to people. Tell us one thing about yourself you think will surprise people the most. That I am trans is usually quite surprising, because I have a combination of stereotypical masculine traits in the fact that I?m a PT and I like the gym. But I think the more surprising element is that there?s a level of femininity to me, and I think that is shown in the way that I connect with people and the way I carry myself. What would you do with the money if you won? I've had a few thoughts about this - I think the biggest thing would be that I?d contribute towards my business - training LGBT people and women. On a smaller note, I?d like to take my girlfriend on a really lovely holiday to say sorry for leaving her while I?m in the Big Brother House.
