Who is Charlotte Keys? Big Brother 2017 housemate evicted in the final week
WHILE Charlotte Keys saw her mum evicted from the house early on, she managed to hang around until the final week before being booted out in the final week.
Here's what we know about Charlotte and how she, and her mum, ended up in the Big Brother 2017 house...
Who is Charlotte Keys, how old is she and what does she do?
Charlotte Keys is originally from Doncaster, but currently lives and works in London as an estate agent.
The 24-year-old took a big risk by appearing on Big Brother alongside her mother, Mandy Longworth.
Mandy claims that the pair have an "inseparable" relationship, which is ironic considering the mum was the first housemate to be evicted.
Charlotte claims to have had the same boy hit on her and her flirty 51-year-old mum.
She currently has a boyfriend, but has dumped all of her previous lovers and won't hesitate to end a relationship if it's not working.
Some housemates took time to warm to her – Charlotte's friends describe her as the 'Ice Queen', because of her coldness towards new people and the fact she never cries.
Explaining why she decided to enter the Big Brother house, she said: "It's the most bizarre situation I'll ever be in and it's something I will remember on my death bed."
When is Big Brother on Channel 5?
On weeknights, the reality show generally airs at 10pm, lasting for an hour, with spin-off show Big Brother's Bit on the Side following straight after.
However, on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays the fun kicks off at 9pm, with the live eviction shows airing on Friday nights.
Big Brother typically lasts around two months, with last year’s series the shortest in the show's history, lasting just 50 days.
This year's show is expected to run for about the same length of time, though nothing is set in stone yet.
Who is presenting Big Brother 18?
Emma Willis has returned to host the 18th series of Big Brother, having begun her stint on the show back in 2013.
The outrageous Rylan Clark-Neal is continuing at the helm of popular spin-off show Big Brother’s Bit on the Side for all the gossip from the house.
Where is the Big Brother house and what does it look like?
The Big Brother house is in the Elstree studios in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire just a 22 minute train journey from London Kings Cross Station.
This year, the house’s theme has been inspired by the General Election and Brexit.
Big Brother 18’s official title is The United Kingdom of Big Brother, and the house has been given a kitsch makeover, with rooms inspired by various aspects of British culture.
A devilish twist sees housemates forced to live and sleep in separate spheres in the house, in keeping with the series’ class-oriented theme, The United Kingdom of Big Brother.
Those sleeping in the grotty bedroom have to deal with graffiti on the walls and furnishings, rickety wooden bed frames, a dirty carpet, old hand-me-down bedding and minimal storage.
Meanwhile the luxury bedroom is the definition of cosy, with beautiful turquoise walls, animal imagery, pristine bedding and a homey atmosphere.
How long has Big Brother been running?
The Big Brother reality TV concept originated in the Netherlands, with the first series airing in 1997.
Following its success, the show came to the UK in 2000, with Craig Phillips the British version's first winner.
After 11 series on Channel 4, Big Brother moved to Channel 5 in 2011, where it has remained ever since.
The show has provided some of the most controversial moments in reality TV history, and catapulted the likes of Jade Goody, Nikki Grahame and Chanelle Hayes to fame.
