Gloucestershire's Chris Hughes & UWE's Angellica Bell chat all things Celebrity Big Brother

Last night, the launch night of Celebrity Big Brother aired on ITV and the initial set of 13 new housemates were revealed.

Included in the line-up was Gloucesteshire born Love Island star turned sports pundit Chris Huges and London born TV presenter Angellica Bell who actually lived in Bristol for a number of years, having studied a Poltics degree at the University of the West of England (UWE.)

Ahead of their entrance into the famous house, both stars had a chat with producers all about their predictions for the show so take a look at what they had to say below...

Chris Hughes

What are you looking forward to the most about being in Celebrity Big Brother?

I'm looking forward to the fact that it’s very much an unknown, to meeting new people, getting to spend time with people who are from very different environments to myself and the whole social experiment behind it - the whole Big Brother experience, really.

What are you going to miss the most while you're in there?

As much as it’s going to be nice to be around other people, I think just having my natural comforts around me - the ability to walk around and have that freedom, be able to go to the gym, see my animals. And friends and family and being able to talk to people as you do candidly each day without thinking about it.

How do you think you'll get on with the other housemates? Anything that's likely to annoy you?

I think I'll get on fine with them. I think things can grate on you, but I think it's how you deal with those types of situations. Obviously, we all live as ourselves as individuals, and we all have our own way of living. I think people's habits can rub certain people up the wrong way. But I think I understand, and I appreciate it - some people snore, some people do things differently in the kitchen. But I think you just have to understand that you’re individuals for a reason. Everyone is very different.

Do you think you'll be an easy housemate to get on with?

I'd like to think I'd be an easy housemate to get on with everyone. When I meet people for the first time people say ‘God, you're so easy to talk to’ and I think people think that because you're in the public eye you’d be robotic. But I'll talk to anyone, so I think that's like a good trait to have. So I should hopefully get on with everyone.

What are you most likely to be nominated for?

Hopefully not loads of things. I don't think I have too many to be honest. But I'd like to say it won't be a ‘Oh, Chris doesn't pull his weight’. Because I'll be very hands on. I'm enjoying cooking at the minute, so I'll try and be on hand and help whoever's in the kitchen and doing different bits and bobs. I actually don't know what my weaknesses are when it comes to living with people. Maybe I'm a little bit messy at times but I'll try my best to be as neat and tidy as I can.

Angellica Bell

What are you looking forward to most about being on Celebrity Big Brother?

I'm really looking forward to meeting a cross section of people - people you wouldn't necessarily have the opportunity to sit down and just chew the cud with. I like to be kept on my toes and I know BB likes to throw in curve balls but I'm also looking forward to a bit of dressing up, role playing and generally having a bit of fun – just being silly. I'm all about enjoying the moment and having a good time. To sum it up, the general experience - it's Big Brother. It's iconic.

What are you going to miss most while you're in the house?

I'm going to miss routine! I don’t have to do things at a certain time because in my job you’ve got to be flexible but I like to have a clear idea of a plan. I also sometimes like to go to bed early and get up early, go to the gym, get things done, send emails etc. So that is going to be hard. Just living by the seat of my pants and going ‘OK what's happening now?’ without answers will be hilarious...at times!

How do you think you'll get on with the other housemates? Anything that's likely to annoy you?

Everyone is different and that's what makes the world a wonderful, beautiful place. I think I'll get on well with the other housemates and hopefully make new friends beyond the time in the house. I think what might annoy my housemates about me is probably my laugh – I've got a loud laugh. People hear me coming a mile off! I'm also upbeat as well - early doors and before bed.

Do you think you'll be an easy housemate to get on with? What are your strengths?

Listen, drama isn't my thing but I've not been locked up before! I think my positivity is a strength - the glass is always half full. That's one of my mantras. We've all had adversity in our lives and it's one way to deal with obstacles that come our way. I'm good at listening to people too. I've grown as a person because of my job. I've met all sorts of people with different backgrounds - listening to them, listening to their experiences. It's easy to judge people but until you know their story you can't make informed decisions about them. I’m also organised and tidy. I don't like mess. I do a lot of cooking – I think a well-fed house is a happy house. Let's hope we win the shopping tasks!

What do you think you're most likely to be nominated for?

I think maybe for being too inquisitive or even too upbeat. And like I don't like injustice. I will address it, but there are ways of doing it. It's not about embarrassing others but a quiet word or taking them to one side to deal with it always works best. I tackle things head on and wear my heart on my sleeve.
