Interesting facts: Kooky Caroline made a very dramatic entrance in a white faux fur coat and sequinned cowboy hat but admitted she was more of a 'loner' than a 'social butterfly' a fact she said would surprise her fellow housemates.

She revealed after working with the likes of Kylie Minogue that her PR business wasn't doing well after she moved from London to Yorkshire.

'I went to the job centre and the woman looked at my CV and said, ‘You should do something on the telly. You should write a book. You should go on social media, do videos. You’re too good to sit in an office, you've got too much going for you’.

Asked what she's spend the prize on Caroline confessed : 'I need to get some new patio doors. I need my house painted. I'd like a new front door. I need my shower mended. All the stuff that I've neglected while I haven't had a job'.
