Meet Kerry – one of the Big Brother 2023 housemates

BIG Brother has returned to our screens with a fresh batch of housemates.

Here is everything you need to know about contestant Kerry.

Who is Kerry?

Kerry, 40, is one of the hopeful contestants in the new reboot of Big Brother.

She has been a long fan of the show but always felt "unachievable" for her due to her multiple sclerosis and being in a wheelchair.

She told presenters AJ Odudu and Will Best she “almost wet [herself]” when she found out Big Brother was returning.

The NHS manager is really looking forward to "meeting new people".

She said: "I'm quite plugged in and I've got quite a bit of emotional intelligence so I think I'll know if someone is having rubbish day and we'll have a chat.

"I'm quite inquisitive and nosy. I'm also really, really looking forward to the challenges and the tasks."

While she hopes to get on with everyone, she revealed her fellow housemates could put her up for nomination for being "a bit bossy".

She explained: "I'm gonna really try not to be but I really like things to go my way. I definitely talk too much and I'm loud.

My husband always says that even my whisper is a normal person's talking voice."

Kerry is no stranger to TV having previously starred on Deal or No Deal, where she won £35,000.

But can she win another £100,000 from this reality show?

Who is in the Big Brother 2023 cast?

The BB housemates have to live together whilst competing in tasks, and putting each other up for eviction.

Over six weeks they will slowly be whittled down, with one lucky winner scooping the £100K.
