life worth. He is a former student of his.
In the House, Benedict says he would hate to find himself with very loud or
very laddish people with "lots to prove but nothing to say". He thinks he has a

Surrey
Interesting Fact
She's the youngest housemate, has never had a boyfriend and her parents still
give her an allowance.
Description
Caroline, a 20-year-old former boarding school girl from Surrey, describes
herself as “weird, embarrassing and a bit of a loser." She also confesses that
she is terrible with boys, saying: "I'm not a very cool person; if I try to act
aloof I come across socially inept."
Caroline attended a private prep school "for very sheltered little girls",
where she was quite rowdy. Her bad behaviour included stealing all the wine at a
parents' evening and then stealing more wine at a school play.
The only paid job she's had was as a Chugger (Charity Mugger), which her
parents forced her to get when she dropped out of University. She didn't last
long as she dropped her phone down a toilet, meaning her employers couldn't
contact her.
She's never maintained a relationship for longer than a week and admits that
she "repels" boys. Caroline doesn't think she'll win Big Brother because she's
"irritable and really blunt".

Description
23-year-old Deana is currently Miss India UK and says that the greatest love
of her life is money. "I don't believe in love, as every man is, or will be, a
cheater".
Deana has successfully modelled in both the UK and India and, by the age of
18, had earned enough money to purchase her own house. She says she's very
ambitious and hardworking and that she finds boys easier to get on with than
girls because they are jealous of her looks.
As her mother has always done everything for her and she employs servants
when she is working in India, Deana has no idea how to wash up, iron and can't
cook.
She's single at the moment but says that finding love is not her main goal.
In the Big Brother House she thinks the toughest thing will be finding her own
space and worries that her blunt honesty will lose her friends, as it has done
in the past.

family and wife know, that's about it". From a young age he felt like "a boy in

people, as well as "chavs". He also doesn't like people who don't pull their
weight. He is confident that he can win. "I have a competitive streak and can be
Mr. Nice Guy, quite charismatic, but I can f**k people over to get on in the
House. It is a game and I plan to play it."

children before he turns 30. Better get to it then!

"including your girlfriend".
Luke thinks that he's always the best looking alpha male in any bar he goes
into and is a compulsive flirt; he likes the attention and having a hold over
people.
He dropped out of university to work in bars, and got well known in the
scene, which took him in another direction: club promoting. "Guys want to be me,
girls want to be with me". He's only had one serious relationship and says that
his ideal type of girl would have a "proper tight body" and not be stupid as he
likes a challenge. "If she frustrates me that’s a good thing," he says.
In the Big Brother House, he says he'll be super competitive. "I'm a bad
loser. I'd find a way of making it look like it was fixed if I lost. I'd have a
sulk". When asked if he thinks he can win the show, he’s clear on his intent: "I
wouldn't even bother applying if I didn't want to win. If I play monopoly, I
want to win. It's not about the taking part".
