It's nearly 20 years since 10 strangers first entered the UK Big Brother house, voluntarily stepping into a self-isolation of sorts, albeit televised.
Does the lockdown feel like being back in Big Brother?
It had been heating up for a day and a half in the Big Brother house over Nick writing people's names down and trying to manipulate us to vote for each other. It was building up tension in the house and I was getting wound up myself. I'm quite calm and patient and can normally detach myself from a situation and look at it from a different angle.
I fell out with lots of my friends and family because 10 days before lockdown, we started self-isolating. Nelly was our priority. I'd only go out to the shops wearing a mask and gloves and everyone would move out of my way. Now everyone's wearing them. In Big Brother, I think I remember us playing hide and seek, which was ridiculous because it was just a house and we were hiding in really obvious places.In Big Brother, you knew that you had 12 weeks, and it was summer, and ultimately it was a bit of a doss and you were potentially going to win some money at the end of it. But now, we could be in this lockdown for three weeks, or three months, or six months… we just have no idea.
I think because of everything they made us do in there, time went more quickly. If we weren't playing games or doing challenges they'd say to us,"Tidy the house, it's a s***hole", and we'd have to tidy it up, because so many people in the house didn't pull their weight - me included.Personally, I think it's important to establish a routine.
