Who is Brandi Glanville? Evicted Celebrity Big Brother 2017 housemate and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star
BRANDI Glanville decided to swap the drama of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for the chaos of the Celebrity Big Brother house this summer.
In a shocking eviction night the CBB star was evicted along with Paul Danan after the public failed to give them their backing. Here's all the info on Brandi...
Who is Brandi Glanville, how old is she and what is she known for?
Brandi Glanville is a US socialite, reality TV and radio star, former model and author.
The 44-year-old mum-of-two from California is known for starring on the US series Real Wives Of Beverly Hills since 2011.
But Brandi started her career, aged 16, as a model after moving to Paris.
She took part in runway shows aged 17 before spending her next 17 years in the pages of magazines and working for fashion houses.
Despite no longer being a housewife, the divorced star joined Real Housewives in 2011 and became a permanent star in 2012.
On the show she's known for her furious clashes with co-stars including Lisa Rinna, Kyle Richards and Lisa Vanderpump.
She officially left after series five but sometimes makes regular guest appearances.
Her telly fame has led to spots on Celebrity Apprentice, Dancing With The Stars and a podcast of her own called Brandi Glanville Unfiltered.
She also struck up a close friendship with ex-CBB housemate Calum Best when they appeared on Famously Single, a reality dating show in the US.
Brandi has also written two books called Drinking and Tweeting: And Other Brandi Blunders, and Drinking and Dating: P.S. Social Media Is Ruining Romance.
Is Brandi Glanville married?
From 2001 to 2010, Brandi was married to actor Eddie Cibrian, star of Sunset Beach, Invasion and CSI: Miami.
They have two sons called Mason and Jake.
Since their divorce, Eddie remarried US singer LeAnn Rimes.
There is a great deal of bad blood between LeAnn and Brandi, with the latter claiming her successor is "copying her life" by going to her "dentist, dermatologist, plastic surgeon and trainer".
Brandi even teamed up with LeAnn's ex-husband Dean Sheremet on a FOX cooking contest My Kitchen Rules.
In turn, Eddie has called Brandi "sad" and "sick", accusing her of trying to stay "relevant" by attacking LeAnn.
When is Celebrity Big Brother 2017 on Channel 5 and who is presenting?
Celebrity Big Brother started on August 1 2017 with a two hour launch presented by Emma Willis.
The main show generally airs each night at 9pm, lasting for an hour, with spin-off show CBB’s Bit on the Side at 11.05pm, hosted by Rylan Clark-Neal.
The Saturday show is on a little later, kicking off at 10pm and there is no BBOTS at the weekend.
Celebrity Big Brother typically lasts around four weeks, with January’s series won by Coleen Nolan the joint longest in the show’s history, lasting 32 days.
Where is the Celebrity Big Brother house and has it moved for 2017?
The current setting for both Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother is a large compound in Borehamwood, nestled right next to where the original Star Wars was filmed.
The site is just a 22 minute train journey from London Kings Cross Station.
This year's makeover is designed to look like a "top celeb retreat".
Housemates can enjoy a large salon-style bathroom, pastel-coloured interiors, an array of plants and two jacuzzis.
