By Big Brother's new housemate Chloe Wilburn is feeling a bit scared. "I had a bit of a cry yesterday," she admitted when we met her at the contestants' top secret hotel, where they're being holed up before Tuesday's launch. And things are only going to get worse for Chloe. "I'm going to be absolutely s**tting myself [when I go in the house]," she confessed.
But there's still a couple of days before that happens, so we had time to exclusively quiz Chloe on what happened when she got arrested, why she wants a normal life after Big Brother, why she gets into so many fights and much, much more...
1. Chloe isn't interested in fame after the show.
"I am going to just work nine to five forever," she said. "I'm going to stay in Doncaster, be Northern. I don't mind that. I'm an administrator, I love my job. I'm probably going to hopefully come out of the house, get married, have kids and just be a normal Northerner. So I just think that I've got a few weeks to do something a bit crazy so I can look back when I'm older."
After all, she doesn't think she's ever going to have a gap year. "Normal people go off to uni and then they go off to Australia," she said. "I'm never going to go to Australia for 12 weeks or whatever. I'm never going to wear harem pants and get dreadlocks and do anything cool. So this is as cool as it's going to get." And she's more than happy to go back to normal after the show: "I'm the kind of person that goes into Asda with no shoes on and my pyjamas, and I'm hoping that I can just still do that."
2. Chloe's mum does everything for her - and has given her some advice.
"My mum has warned me, 'Whatever you do, you've got to pull your weight', because I'm a proper scrubber," she said. "So I'm going to try and help out but I'm hoping there's a mum figure in there that's going to help me. I've never hand washed anything, I wouldn't have a clue what to do."
Another piece of Chloe's mum's advice? "Not to say the C word - I swear a lot!" (She later said: "There's no way I'd just sit there and let someone be a c***... Oh, can you put, 'Sorry mum?'") In fact, Chloe's mum wrote her a letter which also included the tips "not to sit back and watch people get bullied", "just be yourself", and "enjoy it". Chloe is worried about embarrassing her mum, though - she compared her to Hyacinth Bucket and called her a "ten bob snob".
What to Read Next
3. There are a few types of people Chloe doesn't think she'd get on with.
"I'm not keen on posh people," she said. "I really wouldn't get on with anyone who's a snob. Snobby, posh, wants to talk about politics and s**t like that. I'm not interested."
Also: "slappers". "Girls who think they're one of the boys," she explained. "I'm a proper girly girl, so I can't understand why anyone would want to hang around with boys. They're minging, aren't they? So if there's a group of girls and a group of boys, and there's a girl who would sooner hang out with a boy, it just wouldn't make sense to me. It wouldn't bother me, I wouldn't let it bother me, but I wouldn't think it was normal."
4. Chloe is really, really in love with Benidorm.
She'd even spend her £150,000 winnings on trips there if she won Big Brother. "I've been going there forever, I absolutely love it," she said. "I just love the fact that everyone's English, normal, just like me, the kind of people who eat chicken nuggets, chips and beans for breakfast. You can have a pint of vodka and coke with your breakfast. It's my favourite place in the whole world."
And yes, she would be quite keen on a cameo in Benidorm (she described Crissy Rock as one of her idols). "That would be fricking amazing, but I'd be s**t at it, like," she said. "As long as I could just be in the background. That would be good for me."
5. Chloe has been warned not to get too drunk in the house.
"I get paralytic," she said. "Everyone could be that drunk having a good time, but I'd be just comatose. I get so bad. My parents and my boyfriend know that so they've just been like, 'Just be careful what you drink'. But I get drunk off excitement – I could have one mouthful of vodka, and if I know I'm going to have a good time, that's it. I just am already drunk."
And what does drunk Chloe entail? "I dance non-stop," she said. "I just come home black bright, roll all over the floor, roly polys, sausage rolls. Literally, everyone would have to look down on the floor - people just scoop me up and pop me back on a seat and then I'm back down again. I can be a mess."
6. In fact, it was a drunken moment that led to her and her best friend's arrest...
"We were sick in a taxi and it was like £36 to get the sick cleaned up, but we were paralytic and we didn't have the money, so the taxi driver stopped in the middle of nowhere," she explained. "He figured out that we'd been sick and had no money, so I rang 999 and pretended that he'd abducted us when he hadn't. The police came and they were like, 'Right, we're going to give you a chance, girls', but we were so drunk and wetting ourselves so bad – you know when you're with your friend and you know you shouldn't be laughing? They just went, 'That's it, we've had enough' and we got arrested."
Chloe paused to reveal that she's not sure her dad actually knows this story, before adding: "The next day when you have to give a statement, they were like, 'The girl in the dirty cream top' and I was like, 'Oh s**t'. I was literally black bright. I bet this police officer thought, 'You're a mess'." But what did she think of her night in the cells? "I loved it," she said. "I absolutely loved it, yeah. Because I just wanted to see what it was like, and what a good story now for me and my best friend to say, 'Remember when we got arrested?' And if you're going to get arrested for something, that's got to be like the least naughty thing you can do."
7. Chloe also gets into a lot of fights.
Sorry - she did say she hasn't been in a fight for a while ("Maybe I've grown up a bit"). "It's not that I go out looking for fights, I think it's that I'm always so drunk, I'm irritating," she said. "I'm dancing, chucking my arms all over the place, so I bet people are like, 'I'm going to knock her out in a minute'. I did get in a bit of trouble with this police [officer] but she dropped the charges so nothing ever went further. But the worst fight was after a house party once in the next village, and we were walking home. Some girl just kept going on at me and we got into a massive scrap."
So is she worried about losing her temper in the house? "Yeah," she said. "I don't think I'm going to punch anyone. My thing is empty threats. I'm not going to be able to not say, 'I'll smash your face in, I'll rip your f**king hair out'. And you get in trouble for that. I don't know, where I live that's what you all say – even though you don't. If someone was in my face and they thought they could pick on me and I was going to be a target and they were going to make themselves look better – I don't know, I might just grab them. Obviously, I'm going to try not to – that's not going to look good, is it?"
8. Chloe's feeling a bit nervous about the tasks.
"I'm dreading having to wear a lycra outfit or owt that's skintight," she said. "The tasks are probably going to be a nightmare, but you've got to get on with it – what's the point of doing Big Brother if you're just going to moan? Have you ever seen the task where you've got to wear a skintight outfit and they put an electric shock pack in your bum? That would be a nightmare. I'm going to look like s**t, all my cellulite will be out and I'm going to be getting electric shocked. That would be torture."
9. Chloe isn't interested in causing drama for the sake of it...
"If I am getting in arguments with people, it's because they're genuinely f**king me off!" she joked. "I'm not going to go in there and purposely start on people and be nasty and cause dramas and hide bananas and whatever else people do. I'll hopefully be normal." But what will rile her up? "Just being fake, being sly," she said. "And bitching. See, I love gossip, but hopefully I wouldn't sit around and bitch about people. If someone goes around telling tales all the time from group to group, that would piss me off. I don't know. Maybe everything's going to piss me off! Maybe I'm saying all this and then I'm just going to go in raging and I'm going to be the biggest dick in there, I don't know. Hopefully not!"
10. Chloe is a bit worried about the basic shopping budget.
"I wonder what you get to eat," she said. "I don't eat any vegetables whatsoever apart from onion rings. I don't eat salad, I don't eat anything healthy. But I do want to lose a bit of weight, so if I come out of here and everyone hates me, but I'm a size four, then I'm a winner. But no, yeah, if I was being starved – my life revolves around food. Processed junk food. I eat some right s**t. Chips and curry! I just love junk food. So in there, no food, people being dicks, I don't know. It's going to be hard, isn't it?"
Big Brother begins on Tuesday (May 12) at 9pm on Channel 5.
