From: Kent, originally from Thailand
Occupation: Thai massage therapist
Food crazy Kathreya is Big Brother?s first Thai housemate. She came to the UK from Thailand seven years ago to study, and has since become a British citizen.
The larger than life character was given one of the biggest cheers on entering the house and the housemates seemed genuinely pleased to see her - with some remembering her from the audition process.
The 30-year-old works as a Thai massage therapist but her main obsession in life is cookies.
Kathreya says she's addicted to them and she carries a cookie jar with her wherever she goes - even offering the housemates some as she entered. Her dream is to travel the world and taste cookies in every country.
Apart from the sweet treats the therapist would love to one day open her own Thai massage agency, or alternatively open her own restaurant as she?s also passionate about cooking. Kathreya is a Buddhist, believes strongly in Karma and will do anything to avoid an argument.
She loves wearing bright clothing, and wears platform boots at all times to give her extra height as she is only 5ft tall.
On the subject of her physical attributes, Kathreya likens her shape to a potato, saying "If you like jacket potato you will love me".
