Glasgow has a housemate in the Big Brother house - here's everything you need to know about new contestant Olivia.

The famous reality programme is back on our screens after last airing on Channel 5 in 2018. 

The housemates for the reboot series, hosted by AJ Odudu and Will Best, were kept under wraps until Sunday's launch show.

Contestants for the new series range from a butcher from Somerset to a DJ from Coventry.

Stepping into the Diary Room, Glasgow contestant and dancer Olivia, 23, has told all to ITV including why she's applied for the new series and who her dream housemate would be.

Who is Olivia on Big Brother 2023?

What made you apply to be a Big Brother housemate?

I grew up watching the show and I've always said if it ever comes back, I want to do it. I just think I fit the brief because I've got personality to sell and this is the best place for it.

What part of the experience are you most looking forward to?

The fact that it’s gonna be like being in a completely alternate universe. It’s a totally surreal experience.

I like to meet people, I’m quite a social being. I think just the overall experience of getting to disappear for a few weeks and take part in something that's so excluded from normal day-to-day life.

How would your friends and family describe you?

Loud, confident, annoying. I'm the type of person who is up for anything. I'm the life and soul of the party. I’m that friend who people invite to things because at least I'll be fun.

They know that they're guaranteed a good night if I'm there.

 

7 of the most successful Big Brother contestants in history

Tell us an interesting fact about yourself...

I’ve got a fear of jam.

What are you most likely to get nominated for?

I think when people are in that hangry state, that's when I'll wind people up and grind their gears.

Who would be your dream celebrity to live with?

Alison Hammond.

I think they'll nominate me for being full on, and for my brutal honesty and oversharing of opinions.

What would you do with the prize money if you won?

I want a new car. I’m an idiot with money, so I'd probably put it somewhere safe where I can only access a small amount or else it will all be gone within the first 24 hours.

Big Brother continues at 9 pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
