All Stars
Austin Armacost
Age: 28
Model and Reality TV Star
What are you looking forward to most about this series of Celebrity Big Brother and why?
I’m looking forward to going back in, as the last experience was great. Testing your social interactions, and in this case to the breaking point, is always a fun experiment. I’m really looking forward to meeting my new housemates and hopefully making a few friends.
Why Celebrity Big Brother again?
I had such an amazing experience during my first time in the house and found it very cathartic. I was able to learn a lot about myself and about my character flaws.
Describe yourself in three words…
Honest, eccentric and gregarious.
Calum Best
Age: 35
Model and TV Personality
What are you looking forward to most about this series of Celebrity Big Brother and why?
The unique experience that tests and brings all sorts of feelings and emotion. I like to be tested and like to learn from new experiences, sharing who I am and what I’m about with the public.
Why Celebrity Big Brother again?
Last time was a very memorable experience that only really worked well for me and my mindset after I left, so why not try to do the same again?
Describe yourself in three words…
Charming, generous and naughty.

What are you looking forward to most about this series of Celebrity Big Brother and why?
I’m looking forward to leaving the real world for a month; no phone, no emails, no school run, no cooking!
Why Celebrity Big Brother again?
My personal life is at a bit of a cross roads at the moment and I really need some time out to think about my future. CBB asked me at exactly the right time, any other time and I would probably have said no. Let’s hope I’ve made the right decision.
Describe yourself in three words…
Loyal, trustworthy and truthful.
Jasmine Waltz

Why Celebrity Big Brother again?
Redemption! I wasn’t happy with the last time at all. I’m hoping this one is much different and better.

What are you looking forward to most about this series of Celebrity Big Brother and why?
A chance to have more fun and cause more mayhem. People either love me or hate me. Everyone booed me…but I won’t play the game just to get cheers. I want people to like me for who I truly am.
Why Celebrity Big Brother again?
I had a really brilliant experience the first time around so I jumped at the chance to do it again. I know what to expect!
Describe yourself in three words…
Honest, fun and loyal.

What are you looking forward to most about this series of Celebrity Big Brother and why?
I’m most looking forward to having fun, letting my hair down and not having any responsibilities during my time in the house. Also, getting to sit in the Diary Room chair and say “Hello Big Brother” again.
Why Celebrity Big Brother again?
I wouldn’t have missed out on the chance to be an All Star. However much I got booed when I left last time, I know I was a good housemate.

Fun, emotional and confrontational.

A traitor; someone who isn’t a team player because I wouldn’t want them to make my life miserable during my time in the house.
