Big Brother Chat

Thursday 10 July

We caught up with some of the HOLLYOAKS cast to find out who they love, who should get the boot and how long they'd last in the Big Brother house...

First up we chatted with Hollie-Jay Bowes (Michaela) and Nathalie Emmanuel (Sasha)...
Who is your favourite housemate?
Hollie-Jay: Darnell, he's amazing. He's the best thing that's happened to the house because he's so lovely and nice. And Rex too!
Nathalie: Yeah I think Darnell is up there because he's so nice and he's a cool guy. He's very diplomatic in the way he handles himself. I think that the little bitchy group can't get to Darnell and Rex because they don't respond and that's why they don't like them. I think that Darnell and Rex are the most normal people in there.
Hollie-Jay: And I think that Rex is the prettiest ginger person I have ever come across.

Who do you think should go next?
Both: Becky!
Hollie-Jay: She is like a real version of Micheala. I can't stand her, she is so attention seeking! And also, how can you bully Kat, it's just wrong.
Nathalie: I know, I love Kat. She is one of my favourites too. I love the 'cookie love, cookie love' thing.
Hollie-Jay: I do not love the 'cookie love' thing at all.

Do you fancy any of the housemates?
Hollie-Jay: Rex. In fact I have never fancied a ginger person before and I am one myself. But I do like Rex.
Nathalie: Hmm I don't think there's that much eye candy in there so no.

What has been the best bit of Big Brother this year for you?
Hollie-Jay: Definitely Jen's tantrum. She just overreacted and made herself look like the idiot she is. I felt so sorry for Rex too.
Nathalie: I thought it was pretty funny when Rex called Becky fat, I know that's really wrong.
Hollie-Jay: Yeah like when he said that she needed two bed sheets under his breath, I thought that was funny.

Do you think you would last long in the BB house?
Hollie-Jay: No not at all, well I don't know actually, people would either love me or hate me.
Nathalie: I don't know, I don't think I'd be overly controversial. I'm very opinionated so I suppose that could be a factor in long I would last. But then I'd probably just ask to leave after the first day anyway.
Hollie-Jay: Yeah I'd probably last for a couple of weeks then leave anyway.

Who do you want to win BB this year?
Hollie-Jay: Rex or Darnell definitely.
Nathalie: Yeah Rex, Darnell or Kathreya.

Next up we spoke to Stephanie Waring, who plays Cindy Cunningham...

Who is your favourite housemate?
This is a tough one...actually I do like Stuart. I must admit I do have a little crush on him, just a tiny one.

Who do you think should go next?
Becky, definitely. She really annoys me, she just doesn't think before she speaks and she just follows the crowd and tries to be centre of attention.

What do you think has been the best bit of Big Brother this year?
The fight, 'picturegate'. It was definitely the highlight for me; I could take my eyes off the screen.

If you went into Big Brother would you have a game plan? No I wouldn't I would just get on with it. I wouldn't bitch, I think the public hate the whole two –faced thing and if you are a nice person I don't think there's any need.

Do you think you would last very long in the Big Brother house? Oh I have no idea! I would like to think so but it would just depend on the other people in the house.

What luxury item would you take into Big Brother with you?
I'd say concealer definitely.

What would you miss most if you were in the Big Brother house?
My daughter.

Who do you want to win this year?
It’s out of three: Darnell, Stuart or Cat. I've only picked Stuart because he's cute. Oh and Rex as well, I think he's very much himself and people are getting annoyed with him because he's successful. I don't think there's anything wrong with him talking about it if that’s what’s happening in his life.
