List of Big Brother 2007 housemates (UK)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There were 24 housemates in total in the eighth series of Big Brother in the UK where they were observed by television viewers 24 hours a day and each week, one or more housemates were voted to be evicted by the general public until the winner, Brian Belo, was left.
All of the housemates that entered on the first day were female - a worldwide first for any Big Brother series; then on the third day, a male housemate - Ziggy - entered the house.[1] On June 7, 2007 it was announced on Big Brother's Big Mouth that Day 10 would see the addition of two male housemates, in replacement of the cancelled eviction.[2] These two housemates were Gerry and Seány. On June 15, four new male housemates entered the house. They were Billi, Jonathan, Liam, and Brian.[3][4] A new housemate called "Pauline" entered the house on 8 July, supposedly from Big Brother Australia, however, her true identity was actress Thaila Zucchi, and worked as a mole for Big Brother, before being removed on Day 42 after she completed her task. On Day 59, five new people entered the Half-Way House, becoming Half-Way Housemates. A sixth housemate was supposed to enter on the same day, yet after a pre-entrance pep talk with producers, he decided against it.[5] Two housemates from the main house swapped with two housemates from the house next door, and needed to battle their way back to the main house.[6]

[edit] Amanda and Sam
Amanda Louise Marchant[7] and Samantha Joanne Marchant[7] (born 26 June 1988) are the first set of twins ever to appear on Big Brother in the UK. Both are social-care students from Knutton[8], Newcastle-under-Lyme. Nicknamed by the press as Samanda, the pair celebrated their birthday on Day 28.[9]
When the two entered the house, they were classified as separate housemates. Following an offer by Big Brother, the twins chose to become a single housemate on Day 69,[10] meaning that the twins nominate together, participate in tasks together and face the public vote together. Amanda shared a kiss with Brian in the early hours of day 70[11] Amanda and Sam were voted second and left the house on Day 94 with an overall winning voting percentage of 39.7%.
[edit] Amy
Amy Alexandra[12](born 1986) is a 21 year old glamour model from Lincolnshire[13] who entered the House on Day 59 as a 'halfway housemate'.[14] Amy was evicted on Day 73 with 58% of the public vote.[15]. Amy has since recently been unveiled as the new face of adult channel Television X..
[edit] Billi
Nabeel "Billi" Bhatti[16] (born November 1981) is a 25 year old male from Uxbridge. He is a model who has appeared in several music videos, including the one for Jamelia's Beware of the Dog.[17] His model stage name is Massimo. He was evicted on day 31.[18]
[edit] Brian
Olawale Mohammed "Brian" Belo[7] (born 10 July 1987 in Nigeria) is the winner of the eighth series of British reality television show Big Brother from Basildon, Essex. Winning the show meant he became the recipient of the £100,000 first prize. He celebrated his birthday on Day 42. He has recorded all episodes of previous series.[19]
He believes in Cosmic Ordering.[20] He was noted for his apparent ignorance in regards to William Shakespeare,[21][22] although his mother stated she felt he was "play-acting a little bit".[23]
Belo had been considered by some second favourite to win after he entered the house, to Liam, but overtook him to become favourite until twins Amanda and Sam became a combined housemate. As Belo entered the final week it was speculated that he would come in second (some bookmakers had already paid out on fellow housemates Amanda and Sam Marchant winning),[citation needed] but upset the odds to win with 60.3% of the two-way vote, ahead of Amanda and Sam.[24]
[edit] Carole
Carole Ann Vincent[25] (born May 1954) is a former sexual health worker, political activist and demonstrator from East London.[26] She has been arrested on numerous occasions for breaching the peace during demonstrations.[27] She was given the loudest and most positive applause from the audience on entering the house on the launch night.[27] She stood for the Respect Party in the Markhouse Ward of Walthamstow in the 2006 UK Local Election.[25] Carole revealed that she had once taken part in an episode of the debate programme Question Time, but was edited out after being warned for interrupting.[28] Carole took 5th place with 4.9% of the winning votes and left the house on Day 94.
[edit] Chanelle
Chanelle Jade Hayes[7] (born 11 November 1987) is a student from Wakefield, West Yorkshire, studying Spanish, music and English at NEW College, Pontefract.[29] She models herself on Victoria Beckham. She was adopted at a young age, after her mother was murdered.[30] Chanelle started a relationship with fellow housemate Ziggy in the house, though they split up and got back together several times during the series.[31][32][33][34] Chanelle was tested by Big Brother and had the highest IQ in the house, scoring 114.[citation needed] On Day 61, (Sunday 29 July 2007), Chanelle left,[35] and re-entered the house after seeing a psychologist.[36] Chanelle left the house on Day 62.[37] She re-entered the House on Day 89 as part of a task, however she had to leave minutes later.[38]
It has been announced that Chanelle is to present a VH1 UK show, called Wannabe starting on the 23 November 2007.[39]
In November 2007 Chanelle launched her own perfume called Mwah...[40]
She has posed for her first calendar for 2008.[41]
[edit] Charley
Charley Kazim Uchea[7] (born 30 June 1985) is an unemployed self-styled 'it girl' from Lewisham, South-East London. She is a former lapdancer from Stringfellow's Nightclub (although she was fired twice for her over ostentatious dances[42]) and first cousin to Sunderland footballer Kieran Richardson. Charley's entry was speculated by the British tabloid press.[43] She was negatively received by the live audience on the launch night.[44] Charley celebrated her birthday on Day 32.[45] It was revealed that on Day 40 Charley had used the word "nigger", although in contrast to Emily (see below) this was not broadcast on the highlights show. She was fake evicted on Day 45, and put back after her interview.[46] It was rumoured that she had been signed up by agent John Noel, who takes care of Big Brother's Davina McCall and Dermot O'Leary, and ex-housemate Jade Goody, causing some people to believe that this is why both Davina and Dermot are such big fans of hers. This rumour was refuted in a statement by Big Brother, where a spokesman explained, "No housemate selects an agent until they have been evicted from the house... A number of different agents have represented evicted housemates over the time, and many have represented more housemates than John Noel... No decision has been made on representation for Charley and that will not happen until she is out of the Big Brother house" .[47] Charley was evicted on Day 59.[48] She later appeared on the Weakest Link, but lost out in the final round.
[edit] David
David Parnaby[49](born 1981) is a 25 year old visual manager from Ayr[50] who entered the House on Day 59 as a 'halfway housemate'.[14] David was evicted on Day 66 with 37% of the vote.
[edit] Emily
Emily Elizabeth Parr[7] (born 15 April 1988) is a drama student from Bristol.[51] She describes herself as an "indie rock and roll queen" and highly intelligent, saying she could read from the age of two.[52] Emily was put up for eviction in the first round of nominations when only Ziggy could nominate. However she was removed from the house as she was heard using the word "nigger" in reference to fellow housemate Charley.[53] This was due to stricter rules imposed by Big Brother[54] which have been put into place after the previous series of Celebrity Big Brother which caused controversy due to remarks made about Shilpa Shetty. Emily was called to the diary room to discuss this with Big Brother during the early hours, and had to leave without any further contact with the other housemates.[55] Her removal from the house was a source of controversy, with over 1,000 complaints about her removal.[56] Emily later complained to Channel 4 regarding favouritism towards housemate Charley when she was not reprimanded for using the same racial slur.[57]
[edit] Gerry
