Student Chanelle, 19, admits to modelling herself on Victoria Beckham. She stopped for the waiting photographers to pout before going into the house.

I'm not someone to be ignored. I will get my point across," she said. The final housemate to go in was 53-year-old Carole. The born and bred Londoner got the loudest cheer of the evening.
