Charlotte Nott, 18 and from Cowley, has told viewers she is “very stubborn” and to expect her to come across as a “bit arrogant” in the latest series of the hit reality TV show.

Having premiered on September 13, the 23rd series of Big Brother will be shown over the next 54 days on ITV2 and will be presented by AJ Odudu and Will Best.

So far 15 contestants have entered the iconic house including Ms Nott, who is a quadruple amputee.

She said: “Obviously, as a quadruple amputee, people are surprised at anything I do, even normal things like cooking, doing my makeup, getting dressed, stuff like that.

“And obviously they’re going to be watching me 24 hours a day so they’re going to see me do all those things.

“They’re probably going to be surprised at the most normal things for me, those are going to be the most shocking for everybody watching.”

A fan of the show – which was created in 1997 – she said she’s watched it every year since it was rebooted on ITV in 2023.

“I feel like I look quite sweet,” she said when asked about expectations, “but I’m very weird. I’m just going to be crazy”.

She said: “Obviously, it’s just such a strange situation. Being in the house, it’s just going to be such a different thing from normal life.

“Until I’m in there, I’m not going to know what it’s like, but I know that it’s just going to be a weird experience.

“And I’m just excited to put myself out of my comfort zone. I’m going to have no phone, no contact with the outside world. So yeah, I’m excited for that.”

Ms Nott called the whole process “surreal” having applied during the last week of auditions and being invited to London the next week.

“I’m just going to be myself,” she said, “if people like me, they like me. If they don’t, they don’t. They can get me out of there”.

She added: “I think sometimes I can get a bit carried away. Like, if I’m having a disagreement with someone or somebody doesn’t agree with something that I’ve said.

“I am very stubborn, and I think I’m very much a person that’s like, don’t give if you can’t take it. I think sometimes I can come across maybe a bit arrogant, like a bit stuck up, but I just am very sure of myself.

“And I like to defend myself.”

On what she would do with the prize money if she won, she said she’d put it into savings, noting that her prosthetic legs are about £25,000 per leg, or perhaps go on holiday.
