Speaking at the show’s press launch last week, the former Big Brother champ revealed he hopes that this year’s inmates won’t just be after quick fame and money.
“My ideal housemate is someone who is fun, someone who is open minded, and someone who is here because they’ve chosen to be, rather than they want something after the show,” he said.
While we don’t know anything about the Big Brother housemates yet, we do know about three potential wannabes.
This year we’ll see a Big Brother wild card twist, with the viewers invited to select one of three hopeful housemates to join the house.
They include an “Indian Brian Dowling”, a Dr Who fan and a girl nicknamed The Hurricane.
Viewers will be invited to vote for their favourite during launch week, with only one entering the house to become a housemate.
Bit On The Side star Jamie East was given the power to pick the wild card finalists from the hundreds of rejected auditionees.
He said: “I went in with a plan to pick housemates that Big Brother would never put in the house.
“I think I’ve succeeded.”
We wonder if Brian will approve!
