ASH HARRISON, 26 FROM MANCHESTER

As a male model, Ash says he's lazy and his looks have given him 'an easy, blessed life filled with women'.

Describing himself as an 'unabashed flirt, who doesn't want to settle down', his model status doesn't mean he hasn't got brains as he also studied law at college and business and management at university.

Well known on the Manchester scene, he loves to party despite still living at home with his mum who he says is 'one of the lads'.

He can't imagine living anywhere but Manchester, growing up and staying there for his entire life, and he says everything he's ever wanted in life he's gotten through his looks.

Family and friends know him as the 'local handy man', which throws back to his young age when he worked for his dad's building firm, unafraid to get his hands dirty.

Usually in Ibiza for the summer 'working and getting wrecked', he classes David Beckham as his ultimate idol seeing himself as a 'younger better looking version of him'.

With a boyfriend outside of the house, this young model is often told off by her partner or mother for talking about herself too much.

As a vegetarian and big fundraiser for a re-homing cats and dogs centre, she believes her opinion will never be swayed and she enjoys her confrontational nature.

On a typical weekend she spends Friday with her man, Saturday shopping and clubbing before lazing around on Sunday, fortunate not to suffer from hangovers.

Lazy and unhygenic people will grate on Ashleigh, and she also states her dislike for bullies and those who could make her life hard.

If she won the prize money she'd donate a portion to charity, buy a nice car and treat her family to a sunny holiday.

CHRIS WRIGHT, 33 FROM HAMPSHIRE

Asked why he wants to go in the house, Chris replies honestly 'free rent, to lose weight and I can't afford therapy'.

With hopes of becoming an actor he's now between jobs - a skilled artist who sells works of art drawn in biro.

Quick and witty with a dry sense of humour, he doesn't see class, but simply 'dic*heads or not dic*heads.'

Music, movies, ideas, girls, individuality, creativity, honesty and respect are some of what he sees as his main passions, and he says his parents have taught him to be 'obsessively polite'.

His pessemistic personality is his worst, but he claims his best is that if he loves someone he'll 'love them unconditionally forever - in friends and relationships'.

With that in mind, Chris isn't actually looking for love in the house but simply an experience.

JALE KARATURP, 33 FROM SURREY

Weakness in others is something Jale hates, who has a sarcastic, dry and strong personality.

Ranting about things she's passionate about is a hobby of hers, and currently living on her own she says she 'can't live with people, it's a proven fact'.

'A lot of people at school hated me' says Jala, who blames her strong mind and will, sticking up for herself wherever she can.

Always trying to see the good in people, she's sorry to admit she can sometimes hurt people with her words which she uses as a 'defence mechanism', verbally tearing 'someone apart' if she gets angry.

Meditating on a daily basis because of her lack of ability in keeping calm, she notes her strengths as 'thinking and strategising'.

She'll find it hard to keep her mouth shut in the house, and if she's tested or made a target, those who try her will 'not do well of it'.

MARLON WALLEN, 22 FROM CROYDEN

Spending every note he has on his appearance and club nights, Marlon would definitely choose money over love.

His alter ego is called Marlicio Silver, and he can't wait to show the world just what he is all about.

'Girls and having a good time' are his passions, as he describes himself as able to 'make anyone smile' because of his 'happy-go-lucky' personality.

Annoying people and pushing buttons however is another thing he finds amusing, admitting he can be incredibly stubborn.

Confident with the ladies, he's not looking for love when he goes in the house but if somebody takes his fancy, he'll try to 'put it on her', 'probably' able to 'get in her knickers' without anyone knowing.

Planning to get it on in the house with at least two different girls, he notes sex as a major thing for him - 'I don't mind getting my dic* out, it's huge.'

TOYA A WASHINGTON, 29 FROM LONDON

Taking a note out of Kenya Moore of Real Housewives fame, Toya isn't one to be crossed, loving Kenya's catchphrase 'don't come for me unless I send for you'.

An ex-boyfriend felt her wrath after mistreating her, leading her to put his possessions on eBay and sending him the links to purchase them back, giving any money made to charity.

Being self-employed as a video blogger, she doesn't see herself ever going down the 9-5 lifestyle because working a job like that for her would be like 'caging an animal'.

Her best personality trait is being very direct, but she notes on the flip-side her worst is that she has no tact or patient.

Friends would say she's 'hilarious and honest', and in men she looks for 'beards but well-kept beards, and I don't like skinny men who need a belt for their jeans'.

Not ruling out love in the house, any guy would have to be 'really special', and she feels when she enters the compound she'll take up the role of the 'fun one that is always laughing'.
