The new normal series of Big Brother will feature fourteen housemates, all of whom are 30 years old or younger, it has been confirmed.

On tonight’s edition of spin-off show Bit On The Side it was confirmed that, out of 10,000 auditionees, seven men and seven women – many of whom claim to be single – are set to enter the house on Friday.

Describing what Big Brother looks for in a housemate, casting producer Leon Campbell said: “It’s that special mix, you know, they’ve gotta make us laugh, cry. Very quickly, we’ve gotta get them. But it’s also about layers, looking for layers in people. They’ve got to last a long time.”

Campbell gave teasers about the identities of the new contestants, which follow below:

    Female, from Bromley. Likes to climb trees and walk naked with heels on around the house. Can do the limbo so well her head touches the ground

    Male, from Enfield, North London. Studying to be a therapist. Single, and would like to find a soulmate in the house. Can fit his entire fist in his mouth

    Male, 22, from Cheshire. He’s a ’150% Conservative’ entrepreneur and considers himself upper-class. Doesn’t have a sense of smell. Had the biggest hands at school and is yet to meet anyone with bigger

    Female, 25, from Manchester. Not a girly girl, hates talking about shopping and handbags. Only takes ten minutes to get ready

    Male, 23 from Peckham, South London. Runs a record label and produces his own music, has his own studio at home. Claims he pulled Pixie Lott five years ago. Modelled for Baby Gap as a child

    Female, 18 from South Shields. Obsessed with the colour pink, claims to have a gay chihuahua and is convinced she’s going to marry Dappy from N-Dubz

    Female, 30 from London. Model and holistic healer. Describes herself as a different species

    Male, from Solihull. Fat people make him angry. Says if he listens to sad songs he’ll mime it to himself in the mirror and he’s so good at it he can move himself to tears

    Female, 28 from the Wirral. Club hostess but doesn’t often strip, just gets paid for companionship. Says she’s got a walk-in wardrobe with hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of clothes

    Male, 28 from Windsor. Big animal lover – he recently saw a dying frog in his next door neighbour’s pond and picked it up, blew air in to it and brought it back to life

    Female, 19 from Tamworth. A keen wrestler, she says she goes to the gym twice a day and eats six or seven times a day, and spends all her money on food and protein

    Male, 27 from Newcastle. Works out six days a week, and parties until 8am. His mum is his best pal.

    Female, 21 from Oxford. Can speak five languages, and can shake her bum so fast it looks like a blur

    Male, 30 from Weston-Super-Mare. Cries every time he gets his hair cut. He got more scout badges than anyone else by lying to his troop

“We just want it to be fun,” added Campbell. “They’re all quite young, sexy, fun, up-for-it, and that’s what we want. We want it to be just exciting to watch, and there’s a good mix of people there.”

Campbell also revealed that a few ‘cosmetic changes’ will be made to the house for the new series, which will last 63 days. He refused to confirm whether or not the gym would stay.
