Children's wear designer Sissy has lived with her flatmate, a close friend, for almost three years.

She's at her happiest when spending quality time with her boyfriend, friends and relatives and is annoyed by rude and selfish people. Soap powder adverts are another pet hate of hers.

Before becoming a children's wear designer, Sissy cleaned toilets and offices to fund her studies in fashion design technology, waited tables and worked as a marketing assistant and then as a fashion buyer. When she's not working, she'll be found at the gym, doing yoga, recovering from drunken nights out, tidying and going to the launderette.

Sissy says her family would describe her as "(having) a determined mind, a great laugh and fun to be with". She says her mum is her rock.

She would have loved to be a pop star but unfortunately can't sing a note, and so these days, her main wish in life is to grow old knowing that she's lived her life to the full.

The other Housemates, says Sissy, will like her for her energy, wit and one-liners, her good advice and mediation skills. They might dislike the fact that she hates mess or disorder and can get a bit quiet and moody for a few days each month.

Billie Jean by Michael Jackson is her all time favourite tune, while Seven starring Brad Pitt tops her list of great movies. The Roald Dahl novel George's Marvellous Medicine continues to capture the imagination it did when she first read it as a child and Phoenix Nights is her favourite TV show at the moment.

Will Sissy turn out to be the agony aunt of this House? Will she have the others laughing at her wit? We'll have to wait and see!
