HOUSEMATES

Half are leftovers from other shows

®

BIG Brother kicked off last night filled with fame-hungry reality TV left-overs.

Half the 16 housemates reckon they are already “celebrities” because they have been on TV before.

Three have appeared on raunchy reality show Ex On The Beach.

Model Chanelle McCleary, 24, “honey trapper” Kieran Lee, 25, and clothing concession manager Kayleigh Morris, 28, all look set to flash the flesh again on Big Brother.

Chanelle counts reality star Calum Best and X Factor winner James Arthur among her exes.

She has spent more than £15,000 on cosmetic surgery.

Posh Arthur Fulford, 24, who is heir to his dad’s 3,000-acre estate, previously appeared on Channel 4 documentary The F***ing Fulfords and the 2014 BBC Three reality series Life Is Toff.

Party animal Ellie Young, 23, is a regular on ITV2 series Ibiza Weekender.

Holiday rep Ellie, who describes her occupation as “till operator at a trampoline park”, said: “I have always wanted to be able to say I have lived in the Big Brother house. Not many people have been given that chance.”

Uncle

Millionaire Rebecca Jane, who runs her own honey-trap detective agency, was a contestant on BBC show Dragons’ Den.

Dreamboy stripper Lotan Carter has appeared on his uncle Louie Spence’s show Pineapple Dance Studios.

And Hannah Agboola is the current reigning Miss Nigeria UK 2016.

Fifteen of the housemates were named before last night’s show began.

But in a twist, the 16th and final housemate was voted for by viewers with lines closing at the end of the launch on Channel 5.

The winner will be known as the “People’s Housemate” and will hold “great power” within the house, producers revealed.

Eight of the housemates are in pairs – two sisters, a husband and wife, a mum and daughter and an employer and employee.

Producers have promised a “culture clash” with a divided house.

One part of the house features posh decor including a water fountain and potted flowers.

Meanwhile the other has ripped wallpaper, worn carpet and graffiti.

The Channel 5 show also revealed a new-look Diary Room with an English countryside feel.

Housemates will pour their heart out while perched on a flowery sofa “surrounded by nature”.
