Posh boy Benjamin has already appeared on television in American Princess and Ladette To Lady. The Tory supporter is extremely passionate about politics and is obsessed with the Middle East, where he wishes he was from.

He’s written diary pieces for the Mail On Sunday and The Daily Telegraph, and once told his family he was going to Egypt to write a book although the truth was he was just going on holiday.

Benjamin has not told his family and friends that he’s going into the Big Brother house, and doesn’t know what to expect as he has not watched much of it in the past.

Age: 30
From: London
Occupation: Writer and broadcaster
Love Life: Single – apart from being in two relationships he’s not supposed to talk about
Likes: Politics, the Middle East and getting his hair done
Dislikes: Admitting to his true age – he likes to claim instead that he is 27
Why He Will Annoy Us: He is prone to lying because he thinks it makes life more interesting, so watch out for his tall tales.
