A 50-year-old "better looking" version of Lea and a professional tennis player are among those to have won golden tickets.

In total, 56 lucky tickets were found and registered by the deadline of last Friday night. Their owners will now progress - subject to psychological screening - to the final round this Friday (June 9), where one will be randomly selected to become a housemate.

The winners include:

  • Professional gambler and journalist Ed Murray, whose association with Big Brother goes back to a £26,000 winning bet he made on Nadia to win BB 5 which cleared his student debts and turned him into a professional reality TV gambler!


  • Su Lindsey, 50, from Lichfield in Staffordshire, who claims to be an older, 'better looking' version of Lea. She is a huge BB fan who bought her ticket over Ebay for over £600.


  • Mohammed 'Nad' Butt, a 24-year old self-confessed playboy based in London who works for a celebrity and glamour model photo agency.


  • Susan Carter from Plymouth, 34, who found her Golden Ticket after buying over 10,000 KitKats - yet had to round up volunteers to eat them as she is actually allergic to chocolate.


  • 22 year-old Matt Oakes from Coventry, who was once an internet stripper, yet also admits to being a virgin.
