Find out more about this year's Big Brother housemates

Name: Rex Newmark
Age: 24
From: London
Occupation: Executive Chef

Already a successful chef and businessman, London socialite Rex’s three favourite things in life are food, money and success.

As a top chef at some of London’s most renowned restaurants, Rex says: “My job is to be a professional bully: people always tell me to stop being aggressive”.

Born into a successful family of restaurateurs, Rex’s proudest moment of his life so far is winning a cooking competition at his culinary training college. He still lives at home with his family and despite being in the food industry, he loves the fact that he has all his meals cooked for him by the family housekeeper.

Rex considers himself very lucky in love as all the girls he’s met have fallen in love with him. He hopes his fellow housemates will include some blonde girls and admits he’ll go bonkers if there aren’t enough girls in the house.

Rex hopes that by going on Big Brother he’ll make new friends and let people get to know the real him by stripping away his usual comforts. He doesn’t want to be nominated early for coming across as too bigheaded or for squashing people’s personalities. He would be happy to do the majority of the house cooking.
