While most of the other housemates have acknowledged that they have entered the Big Brother house to find fame, Laura Williams has a whole other reason for giving up her summer.

Laura told the other housemates that she has ballooned from a size 10 to a size 20 in just one year due to her fondness for curries.

Her aunt, Gill Seldon said: “She said if she went into Big Brother she would use it to shift the flab.

“She is a great cook and is always making curries. But while she is in the house food will be rationed and she can’t snack.”
