Not sure if this has been covered.. but do we know how Big Brother picked Chantelle? They didn't exactly run auditions for the part publicly. Was she selected based on a previous BB audition?

That's just what I wanted to know! I remember Rula asking that and Chantelle said that she di not think she was allowed to talk about that.

I reckon that perhaps one of the producers of Big Brother knew of her and her family and knew how appealing she was and so chose her like that.

I assumed she was a standby for BB6. They have about ten standby's don't they??

They answered this question on the first CBB show. She auditioned for the main BB6 last year. They then called her back for CBB.

Doh! ... sorry to repeat the thread. Delete me

She auditioned for BB 6 and was used in a house test I think

So Chantelle had been in the BB house before? (like Maxwell BB6) Perhaps this is what she meant about not talking about the circumstances to Rula. It certainly doesn't help contestant's chances if it know by the general public that they already have experience of the game!

A news article reported that Endemol contacted her agency looking to hire a lookalike. Actual names were quoted in the article to confirm this.

The thread is on the forum somewhere with the link to the article.
