King Charles’ ex butler and football amputee – Big Brother 2024 line-up in full revealed as new ITV series kicks off

THE line-up of the new series of Big Brother has been officially revealed.

AJ Odudu and Will Best were on hand to welcome a new set of housemates for the second instalment of the reality show to air on ITV.

Pictures of the newly redecorated abode were revealed before the weekend as bosses geared up for the new series.

We previously revealed that execs have already lined up a secret twist as part of a new bombshell task.

For the next six weeks, who will call the ITV2 house their new home?

Rosie

Dental assistant Rosie applied for Big Brother because she said it was something that she “always wanted to do.”

Before entering the iconic reality show, the 29-year-old admitted that she wants to be the one to lift the house during heated moments.

“I think I’m going to bring positive energy. I am a good listener and I can be there to support people – I’m a supportive person.

“I’m quite an enthusiastic person so if people are feeling a bit low, I can get them back on track.”

Emma

At the age of 53-years-old, Emma could be the oldest housemate of the group.

The Aesthetics Business owner from Essex admitted that some people think she has an ‘abrupt’ side to her.

“If somebody doesn’t get my humour then they might think ‘she’s really abrupt and to the point and says it how it is’ but that’s my
humour.” Emma remarked.

“I’m still going to be me in there but sometimes I may come across as abrupt or say ‘get over yourself.”

Segun

The 25-year-old Charity Videographer comes from Watford.

He thinks that he might become the house clown with his “comedic energy.”

“I’ll bring energy, comedic energy, vitality and a lot of entertainment and being uplifting,” Segun said.

Nathan

24-year-old Nathan is only young, but he’s already had a lot of life experience.

The Pork Salesman from Dumfries revealed a surprise connection to the Royal Family.

“I was Prince [King] Charles’ butler. I think that’s one thing that will definitely surprise people,” he remarked.

On the launch show, he admitted that he admires politician and former I’m A Celebrity star, Nigel Farage.

Daze

Daze is a Climate Activist from London.

The 24-year-old admitted that she loves to eat, and she warned that there might be a problem if she gets hungry.

“I like food a lot. I know that can sometimes be a contentious thing in the house. So I’m going to try to not eat too much.”

Khaled

Big Brother built up a reputation over the years for attracting contestants who just wanted to be famous.

But this is not the case for the 23-year-old Sales Manager from Manchester.

“I didn’t actually know what Big Brother was,” Khaled admitted.

“I thought it was a show about being a carer – because I worked at a kids’ camp.”

Adding: “I thought it’s a new opportunity in life. I have no
interest in being famous.”

However, he also admitted that he intends to be very open with his fellow housemates.

“I’m very honest. I wear my heart on my sleeve,” he admitted.

Martha

26-year-old Martha currently works as an NHS Administrator in Scarborough.

The Margate native thinks that she could be the perfect housemate for the new series.

“I’ve always been a little in your face and a bit dramatic,” she admitted.

“I don’t take things too seriously. Life is serious enough. I think it’s important to enjoy the good moments and funny moments in life
and take it all with a pinch of salt.”

However, the reality personality admitted that despite her loud persona, she does have a quiet side.

“I’m actually quite an introvert,” Martha claimed.

“For somebody that’s quite loud and quite in your face I love
nothing more than getting in, getting in my pyjamas and reading a book or going to bed at 8pm – that’s my dream.”

Lily

Lily works as a Chinese Takeaway Server in Warrington and has a pretty ‘savage’ reason for wanting to go on Big Brother.

“I originally applied because it was my ex’s favourite TV show because we broke up.

“I thought ‘I’m going to go on his favourite TV show’. I’d never heard of it.”

But despite not knowing about the long-running format before, the 20-year-old wants to bring nothing but positivity to the show.

“I think I’ll bring good vibes because I think I’m a positive person and I bring that in my own house so I could bring that to another
house!”

Lily admitted that she would want to spend the winnings on a party holiday to Ibiza with a private jet.

Ali

The 38-year-old Forensic Psychologist wants her follow housemates to come to her with her problems.

“I will bring humour, friendship – I’m quite understanding and caring. I would also be someone that people confide in and come to for advice,” she admitted.

“I’m really intrigued about who else might be in the house – I’m so nosy.”

She moved to London all the way from Leicester in the East Midlands, but she fears her opinions might land her in hot water.

“I think I will say my opinion out of turn, and it will rub someone up the wrong way,” Ali remarked.

“If someone does something I think maybe isn’t kind, or could have been a bit better thought through, I have this thing where I
tend to tell people.”

Adding: “I can be quite direct. And it doesn’t always land well.”

Thomas

20-year-old Thomas comes from Carlisle and is an Amputee Footballer.

Before he entered the house, Thomas opened up about one of his pet-hates.

“I describe myself as a very energetic, always lively person – I hate silence!

I feel like I’m very good at communicating with people … people are going to see me as that giddy, young person.”

The athlete was also very transparent about his intentions and expectations about his fellow housemates.

“Everyone is going to go on to the show thinking they’re just here for the experience but I feel like that’s a lie,” he said.

“You would not be going on the show if you didn’t think about the prize pot and about being the winner of Big Brother.

“I think it’s important to try and have those connections but I believe a lot of them can be quite fake but that’s important in the show – play the game, play the environment.”

Ryan

The northerner comes from Blackpool but currently lives in Stockport.

He works in Marketing and Events, and as a life-long fan of the show, he wants to “shake up” the house.

“I feel like over the recent years, it’s gone a bit tame and people are in there for other motives,” he confessed.

“I think having someone normal like me in there will shake it up.”

He also admitted that he has a big sense of humour and he’s always cracking ‘dad’ jokes, but some people may struggle to take him seriously.

“[I’m] a bit loud and some people don’t like jokes all the time. People might think I don’t take anything too seriously.”

The star said that he wants to win the £100,000 prize to give back to causes close to his heart.

“I’d probably donate some to the Brian House Hospice,” he revealed.

“I ran a marathon last year for the Children’s Leukaemia Group. I’d like to give back especially to those types of causes.

Adding: “And then probably take my friends and family on
holiday.”

Hannah

The 24-year-old West London resident wants to bring some fan back to the house.

“I’m a fun, childish person who loves to laugh and banter around,” the HR Consultant remarked.

“I’m going to bring pure vibes – a West London babes in her element. Having a good fun time with the housemates while staying true to myself.”

However, the star says that she has no problem with saying her opinion out loud, and thinks that anyone who might nominate her is simple ‘a hater’.

“[I’m] an authentic person and saying what is on my mind.

“I feel like whoever nominates is just a hater, babes! I think it might be my opinions that people nominate me for.”

She also admitted that she wants to keep the house in tip top condition.

“No-one can nominate me for being a dirty babes, I’m far from that –
no-one can come for me in regards to cleaning,” she added.

Izaaz

29-year-old Izaaz currently lives in London but he is originally from Swansea.

Before he entered the house, the sales consultant warned that he is not afraid to tell fellow housemates the truth.

The estate agent admitted: “I might be a bit straightforward, I say it is as it is.”

“For example, if someone isn’t doing something then I’ll tell that person instead of beating around the bush.”

He added: “I’m louder than I look. As soon as I get comfortable, you’ll know.”

Meanwhile, he admitted that he wants to win the jackpot prize money, so he can provide a better future for his young child.

“I have a five year old son … £100,000 is a lot of money and a good amount of money to try and stabilise a better future.

“I would use it to help my son as he grows older.”

Sarah

The 27-year-old from Shrewsbury admitted that she wants to make lifelong friendships in the house.

She admitted: “I know from having worked on cruise ships that when you’re with people in an enclosed environment you make the strongest bonds.

“I’m really looking forward to meeting people I would never normally meet living in the country.”

The Spa Account Manager teased that she has an energetic personality as she revealed that some of the housemates might find her ‘messy’.

When asked what she may get nominated for, she revealed: “Being too loud, being annoying and being messy.

“I’m never one to shy away from asking people’s opinions even if it’s controversial.”

In her entrance VT, she labelled herself as “posh tottie hottie,” as she opened up on her farming background.

Sarah also admitted that she has the patience of a “boiling kettle” as she said she got frustrated with “slow walkers and slow talkers”.

Marcello

34-year-old Marcello has a new-found love for life, and he wants people to know it.

He works as a Youth Mentor in East London and said he wants to challenge himself in the house.

“I applied to test myself and see where I could take my new found confidence and the love I have for the world,” he admitted.

“From the moment I wake up I’m buzzing. I wake up full of love. I love having banter with people, I love winding people up. I’m cheeky, sarcastic but also very loving. I love to help people.”

Marcello is also up to take things further with one of his fellow housemates as he explored deep connections.

“I’d love to have a little bromance, maybe a little romance,” he admitted.

He also wants to win the prize money to make more “security” for himself, and he wants to treat his mother and grandmother.

Dean

35-year-old Dean has been a long-time fan of the show since he was a young child.

“I’ve wanted to do it from the age of 11 and never had the confidence to do it.

“As I got older, I was still obsessed with the show and as soon
as it came back it was ‘this is my time to apply’’.”

Although the barber may not have had the confidence previously, he plans to be true to himself in the house, although he is fully aware of playing the game.

“The strategy is to just be me. The more you’re yourself, the more the public will see you as you.

“I think housemates will see you as you. I’m going to play it as it comes. It’s a game.”

The star also wants to take a six-month sabbatical and go on holiday if he won the prize money.

Big Brother airs on ITV2 and is available to stream on ITVX.
