But enough from me, I know you’re all dying to find out who’s going into the house this year! So without further a do, let’s bring out the housemates and let them enter the Big Brother house!

Tell Us About Yourself: I’m a hairdresser, and good old Brizzle girl. I’m a bit blonde, a bit of a bimbo, but everybody loves me! Always smiling, always laughing, I love life really! Love my job, because I get to gossip all day and chat away! Like to go out and party with my girlfriends! Looking for love, I’m a hopeless romantic and love Sex And The City – maybe I’ll find my Mr Big in the Big Brother House!

Why Big Brother? I’ll try all things once. I love to have a laugh, a bit of fun, and I think I could lighten up the Big Brother house with my bubbly Brizzle personality.

Do you think you’ll get very far? I’d like to think so! I’m friendly! Nice! I get on with everyone really, so hopefully no one will nominate me!

Plans For The Future? Dunno really! I’d be happy cutting hair and gossiping away forever more me! As long as I’m smiling and having fun, I don’t care where I am or what I’m doing really!

Why Big Brother? For an artist, Big Brother is the ultimate experience, just a rich and diverse tapestry for me to get inspiration from.

Do you think you’ll get very far? Probably not! I’m a vegan, which will be awkward for the cooks! I also have strong opinions on a lot of things and I’m not afraid to debate them with others.

Tell Us About Yourself: I own my own real estate company, the biggest in the midlands, one of the best in the country. I’m ruthless when it comes to business, and will stop at nothing to seal a deal. I live alone, and am stuck in my ways. Some people say I’m arrogant and bossy, hopefully that doesn’t come across in the house! One think I haven’t got time for: attention seeking fame wanabees, any of them in the house and there will be guaranteed fireworks.

60 seconds with…Aleesha!



Name: Aleesha
Age: 27
Occupation: Media Consultant
Hometown: Southampton

Tell Us About Yourself: I've got a very good job, and I didn't need a man to get me there. I'm a very independant, sassy young woman. You're 21st century woman who can go out there, do a man's job better than a man, and still be femine in many ways. I'm never short of male attention, but I only ever go for taken men. The thrills in the chase? You know what I mean. I tend to get myself into a lot of confrontations with their other halfs, but I can hold my own. Will I ever change? Probably not!

5 Words To Describe Yourself: Seductive! Ball breaker! Uber bitch!

Why Big Brother? It's the ultimate platform for manipulation. The Big Brother house is a dolls house and all the housemates are Barbie dolls who I can twist the heads off of! Sounds like right fun if you ask me!

Do you think you’ll get very far? Someone with a personality like mine tends to make very few friends, so probably not. But I'll be damned if I go down without a fight!

Plans For The Future? Onwards and upwards! It's the only way to go!
