Pauline Bennett Big Brother 2014 is the tenth contestant to enter the BB house

Pauline Bennett is the tenth contestant to enter the BB house tonight. The 49-year-old larger than life joker from Wolverhampton, is strong and feisty and she does not ‘suffer fools gladly’.

She describes herself as idiosyncratic, opinionated and admits to being overly picky.

She had a promising music career in the early 90s and had a top 10 single with Kylie Minogue, but she told Kylie that she thought her songs were ‘shit’.

Her son is the most important person in her life and says they ‘only fall out if he brings home a girl for the night’.

She likes that she’s strong willed, ‘if I say something, I’ll stick to it’.

Her all time idol is Maya Angelou whose poetry helped her come to terms with her ethnicity when she was a youth, ‘her strong words empower black women and give them a sense of purpose’.

She also claims to be a good listener but will fly off the handle if things don’t go her own way or if someone calls her a liar.

Within her friendship group she’s the ‘opinionated joker that’s loved and adored by all’.

She has a phobia of anything out of the sea, red meat and would be mortified if asked to rap in public.
