You might have already seen their faces before...The famous Big Brother house has welcomed a new group of reality stars, with familiar faces like AJ Odudu and Will Best returning to host ITV's latest series last night. The housemates include a climate activist from London, a pork salesman who is a huge fan of Nigel Farage, and even a former butler of King Charles, among 14 others. While they are all still getting to know each other, some have already revealed that this is not their first brush with fame. In fact, one of the housemates has previously appeared on a popular ITV soap opera, while another has tested their survival skills on Bear Grylls' The Island a decade ago.
Let's take a closer look at the Big Brother 2024 contestants and their past experiences in showbiz.
Emma is a familiar face to many viewers. She used to be a popular page 3 model for The Sun in the 1990s. After her successful career as a glamour model, she decided to venture into acting and has since landed roles in popular TV shows like Coronation Street and Hollyoaks. According to iMDB, Emma has also appeared in the TV drama Guilty Pleasure and the dark comedy show Men+al: Lockdown. Fans were quick to recognize her, with one viewer even tweeting about her previous roles as a nurse in Coronation Street. Aside from her successful career in the entertainment industry, Emma also made headlines in 2016 when she became a target of the notorious 'Fake Sheikh' reporter Mazher Mahmood. She even appeared in a 2023 Amazon Prime video that focused on the case, where she revealed some shocking details about her experience with Mahmood. Despite the false accusations, Emma never gave up and pursued a civil case against Mahmood for ruining her reputation and career.
Moving on to Dean, the barber from the house. He might be the last one to enter the Big Brother house, but he is no stranger to reality TV. In 2014, Dean appeared on Bear Grylls' show The Island, where he shared his journey of coming out and the difficulties he faced as a member of the Roma community. He is also a radio DJ for Glitter Beam Radio and signed off on air before entering the Big Brother house. Dean's fans were sad to see him go, but he promised that he would be back soon. In an interview, Dean shared that being on Big Brother has been a lifelong dream for him.
Khaled, the 23-year-old sales manager from Manchester, claimed that he had no idea what Big Brother was and had no interest in being famous. However, it turns out that he is already quite familiar with cameras. Khaled is a model for Nemesis Models and has appeared in various campaigns for the agency. They even posted an update on their Instagram page, revealing that Khaled is now part of the Big Brother house. His biography on their website also mentions his height, which is 5'11. However, it seems like his Instagram page has been taken down.
Lastly, we have Marcello, the 34-year-old youth mentor from East London. He describes himself as a cheeky and sarcastic person but also very loving. Marcello entered the house with a bang, showing off his rapping skills that some fans might already recognize.
