EYNTK About The Celebrity Big Brother Housemates
Day 1 in the Big Brother house...
Celebrity Big Brother officially kicked off last night, and there’s a serious amount of celebs in there.
There’s also some people you might not recognise all that easily, as per.
But, never fear, because we’re here to give you the lowdown on each of the housemates as they kick off their first day on the show.
You’re welcome.
JoJo Siwa
What are you looking forward to the most about being in Celebrity Big Brother?
“Just meeting new people. I think it’s going to be really fun to live and try to exist with strangers who I feel like some may know each other, but I feel like I’m the blind bat going in – I’m not going to know anyone.”
Mickey Rourke
What are you looking forward to the most about being in Celebrity Big Brother?
“I have no expectations. I’ve never seen it. I’m just going to go in, do my thing, and we’ll see. I don’t care about winning. It doesn’t mean anything to me. I want someone to win who really cares about winning and who earns it.”
Jack P Shepherd
What are you looking forward to the most about being in Celebrity Big Brother?
“Probably just every experience that comes with it – the Diary Room, the nominations. I think I’ll like the tasks because that’s the big event – when you can all come together.”
Chris Hughes
What are you looking forward to the most about being in Celebrity Big Brother?
“I’m looking forward to the fact that it’s very much an unknown, to meeting new people, getting to spend time with people who are from very different environments to myself and the whole social experiment behind it – the whole Big Brother experience, really.”
Chesney Hawkes
What are you looking forward to the most about being in Celebrity Big Brother?
“I’m 53 and I’ve spent 53 years with myself, so I think I know myself pretty well. But I reckon I’m going to learn stuff about myself. If you can reach your mid 50s and there’s potential to do that, then that’s really exciting. And I think I’ll learn some stuff about other celebrities that I didn’t know as well – so that’s interesting. Oh and Tuesday night is the night we put the bins out so I’m looking forward to not doing that.”
Trisha Goddard
What are you looking forward to most about being on Celebrity Big Brother?
“Meeting new people. I hope I’m an easy housemate to get on with. My strengths are my sense of humour and not sweating the small stuff.”
Patsy Palmer
What are you looking forward to the most about being in Celebrity Big Brother?
“I’m really looking forward to walking through the iconic doors and meeting a group of brand-new people. It’s a fascinating experience and that’s one aspect that excites me. I’m also looking forward to having a break from technology. We all spend so much time on our phones etc so having no access to that will be incredibly refreshing.”
Michael Fabricant
What are you looking forward to the most about being in Celebrity Big Brother?
“Meeting interesting people and having good conversations. Having some fun and to find out what it’s like being trapped with people I don’t know!”
Ella Rae Wise
What are you looking forward to the most about being in Celebrity Big Brother?
“I think the most I’m looking forward to has to be meeting and getting to know new people and learning new things about myself and others, as well and being out of my comfort zone and under pressure, weirdly because I deal with pressure really well. I’m quite relaxed but it might be a bit different being in a house with loads of people that I normally wouldn’t spend time with, or know in normal day to day life.”
Daley Thompson
What are you looking forward to the most about being in Celebrity Big Brother?
“I am looking forward to the challenge of living with total strangers and getting to know them and hearing all their stories.”
Donna Preston
What are you looking forward to the most about being in Celebrity Big Brother?
“I think being away from my phone. I think we’ve forgotten about what it’s like to be human beings and to be present in the space. I love nothing more than sitting in my conservatory and looking out at my garden, without my phone. And I’m looking forward to actually having conversations with people and listening to stories – because there’ll be some fascinating people in there. As an actor I just love people watching.”
Angelica Bell
What are you looking forward to the most about being in Celebrity Big Brother?
“I’m really looking forward to meeting a cross section of people – people you wouldn’t necessarily have the opportunity to sit down and just chew the cud with. I like to be kept on my toes and I know BB likes to throw in curve balls but I’m also looking forward to a bit of dressing up, role playing and generally having a bit of fun – just being silly. I’m all about enjoying the moment and having a good time. To sum it up, the general experience – it’s Big Brother. It’s iconic.”
Danny Beard
What are you looking forward to the most about being in Celebrity Big Brother?
“I’m looking forward to meeting people from all different walks of life that I just probably would never meet or mix with. And I’m a massive super fan of the show so I’m looking forward to secret tasks, getting dressed up in ridiculous outfits, face-to-face nominations. I want the full Big Brother experience!”
Celebrity Big Brother airs each night on Virgin Media Play and Virgin Media Television at 9pm
