Age: 26
From: Manchester
Description: Handsome Model
Fact #1: Ash's idol is David Beckham - he thinks he's a "younger, better-looking version of him". His words, not ours. He also plays football three times a week, and his favourite subject at school was PE (because he "caught the ladies' eyes").
Fact #2: Ash, who used to work for his dad's building firm and isn't afraid to "get dirty", is known by family and friends as "the local handy man".
Fact #3: Ash still lives at home with his mum and calls her "one of the lads".
Fact #4: Before becoming a model, Ash studied business and management at university.
Fact #5: While he's Manchester born and bred and can't imagine living anywhere else, he usually spends the whole summer in Ibiza "working and getting wrecked".

Age: 18
From: Derry
Description: Angelic School Leaver
Fact #1: Ashleigh is a big animal lover - she's vegetarian, spends a lot of her money on her dog Gucci, and is a fundraiser for a rehoming centre for cats and dogs.
Fact #2: Ashleigh is realistic about her career; while she does modelling in her free time and would love to become well known as a model, she says: "I know the chances of that are slim." She would like to send up an events and wedding planning business. She says she's driven to succeed after living on a council estate.
Fact #3: Ashleigh doesn't really suffer from hangovers.
Fact #4: Ashleigh is very opinionated and has "strong views which are generally not accepted among her community" - but she says her worst trait is talking about herself too much.

Age: 33
From: Hampshire

Fact #2: Chris explained that he wants to go into the because of "free rent, to lose weight, and I can't afford therapy".
Fact #3: Chris says both a) that if he loves someone he will "love them unconditionally forever" and b) that he has a big group of friends but is "trying to reduce it".
Fact #4: Chris says that his parents have taught him to be "obsessively polite": "If someone punched me in the face and they got blood on their knuckles I'd apologise for making their hands dirty." But he says his worst trait is seeing a sunny day and saying it will rain.

Age: 33
From: Surrey
Description: Grumpy And Spiritual
Fact #1: Jale says that it is a "proven fact" that she can't live with people - so she lives alone in a two-bedroom house. This is going to go well then.
Fact #2: Jale meditates every day because she gets wound up easily.
Fact #3: Jale had a tough time at school because she thinks a lot of people "hated" her; she also moved teams in her job as a customer adviser because a "girl thought I didn't like her, and like a moron, instead of speaking to me like an adult, told a manager and it got massively blown up".
Fact #4: Jale has very strong views on benefits and unemployment, and thinks the government are "making the rich richer and the poor are scrambling around trying to feed themselves".
Fact #5: Jale is a big fan of rants and can "tear someone apart" if she gets angry, saying she particularly hates "s**t drivers, terrible call centre workers, people who are s**t at their jobs and martyrs".

Age: 22
From: Croydon
Description: Flirty Jack-The-Lad
Fact #1: Marlon has an alter ego called Marlicio Silver.
Fact #2: Marlon wants to hook up with at least two women in the house, saying: "I don't mind getting my d**k out, it's huge." He also thinks he could "probably get in her knickers" if there is a woman that he finds attractive... and claims he could do this without anyone knowing.
Fact #3: The most expensive thing Marlon has ever bought is a pair of Louboutin shoes at £800... and he would rather have money than love ("I would rather be lonely in a Ferrari than in love in an old banger".)
Fact #4: Marlon thinks that he will be good at secret tasks because he is very good at lying.
Fact #5: Marlon says he can "make anyone smile"... but also that he likes to annoy people and "push their buttons".

Age: 29
From: London

Fact #1: Toya was once mistreated by an ex-boyfriend - so she auctioned all his items on eBay, gave him a link to buy them, and then donated the money to charity.
Fact #2: Toya is pleased she does not have a 9-5 job because she thinks that would be like "caging an animal".
Fact #3: The kindest thing that Toya ever did was invite a boyfriend to live with her... but she ended up kicking him out because he "took advantage".
Fact #4: Toya - who isn't ruling out love in the house - says she goes for alpha male types, but not short men. "I like beards, but well-kept beards, and I don't like skinny men who need a belt for their jeans," she says.
Fact #5: Toya was bullied so doesn't often get into fights - but says: "I'm not physical but my mouth does it for me."
