Caroline for Big Brother 2025 / ITV
Age: 56
From: Canvey Island
Occupation: PR
Why did you apply to be on the show?
“I left my job to set up my own company and, in Yorkshire, there’s not that many celebrities, so I haven’t had much luck because I don’t live in London anymore. So, I went to the job centre and the woman looked at my CV and said, ‘You should do something on the telly. You should write a book. You should go on social media, do videos. You’re too good to sit in an office, you’ve got too much going for you’. I laughed it off but I went home and saw the advertisement for Big Brother. So, I just did the video and never thought anything of it. I went back to thinking, ‘what am I going to do in my life?’. And then I got the phone call, and it just went from there and now we’re here!”
What will you bring to the house?
“Quite a complex amount of things. One, I like to joke around, and I like to do practical jokes and stuff like that. Two, I’m very sensitive and caring. And I probably cry a lot. I don’t think I’ll be the mum of the house because I’m too naughty.”
Do you have a strategy?
“The only strategy I’ve got is to be myself, because I’ve never been able to be anyone else. My strategy is to try and have a good time, be good, no arguing with Big Brother, and to just get as many memories as possible.”
What would you do with the prize money if you won?
“I need to get some new patio doors. I need my house painted. I’d like a new front door. I need my shower mended. All the stuff that I’ve neglected while I haven’t had a job. So, I want to get all those little bits done. I don’t care about going on holiday or anything like that. I’ll probably just take the dogs to my mum’s and go off to Scotland to a nice cabin somewhere and then I’ll put the rest in the bank to live on.”
Big Brother airs Sunday to Friday at 9pm on ITV2.
