List of Big Brother 2007 housemates (UK)

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 7 June 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 15 June, 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]

Amanda and Sam

Main article: Samanda

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 and before entering the house were students at Manchester Metropolitan University.. 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] Despite being the bookies' favourite to win, Amanda and Sam came second and left the house on Day 94 with an overall winning voting percentage of 39.7%.

Amanda and Sam were the first housemates - since Stuart from Big Brother 5 - to make it to the final and to never have received a single nomination from their fellow housemates.

Amanda and Sam stayed in the Big Brother house longer than anybody else in the UK, 94 Days. Big Brother 8 was the longest series of Big Brother UK, and the twins were the first to enter on Launch night and second to last to leave on the final night.

Brian thereby became the youngest winner of a regular Big Brother series to date, as well as the first black regular series winner and the first series winner who was not in the house from Day 1.

Carole

Charley

Charley Kazim Uchea ^[7] (born 30 June 1985) is an unemployed self-styled 'it girl' from Lewisham, southeast London. She is a former lapdancer from Stringfellow's Nightclub (although she was fired twice for her over ostentatious dances^[25]) and first cousin to Sunderland footballer Kieran Richardson. Charley's entry was speculated by the British tabloid press. She has been fired from every job she's ever had.^[26] She was negatively received by the live audience on the launch night.^[27] Charley celebrated her birthday on Day 32.^[28] It was revealed that on Day 40 Charley had used the word "nigga", although in contrast to Emily (see below) this was not broadcast on the highlights show. Charley was incredibly unpopular with the public due to her aggressive and argumentative nature but was very interesting to watch, making good tv. She was fake evicted on Day 45, and put back after her interview.^[29] 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" .^[30] During her time in the house Charley argued incessantly with a lot of her fellow housemates, particularly Channelle whom she described as a 'posh spice wannabe'. She also had confrontations with both Billi and Gerry. Charley was evicted on Day 59 with 85.6% of the public vote. To her shock she received deafening boos from the crowd.

David

David Parnaby^[31](born 1981) is a-28 year-old Sales Adviser for Scottish Power from Ayr^[32] who entered the House on Day 59 as a 'halfway housemate'.^[14] David was evicted on Day 66 with 37% of the vote.

Emily Elizabeth Parr^[7] (born 15 April 1988) is a drama student from Bristol. She was removed from the house after she uttered the phrase: "are you pushing it out, you nigger?", when talking to her fellow housemate Charley. She 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^[33]

Since her Big Brother stint Parr has been landing small film roles and working in theatre based in the South West. In 2008, she landed a brief uncredited role as Amelia, a prostitute in the horror film, The Wolfman.

In October 2008 he released a dating manual for women, Treat Them Keen, and Keep Them Keen by Random House publishers.
