After months of anticipation, Big Brother has made a dramatic return with a new home on ITV.
The shiny new house is full of a fresh cohort of people ready to battle it out for the £100,000 prize, although we’ve already said goodbye to one contestant.
Both NHS manager Kerry and makeup artist Farida found themselves up for eviction on Thursday 12th October after receiving the most nominations from the other housemates.
But ultimately, it was Farida who was evicted the following evening after receiving the fewest public votes, meaning Kerry is still in the running for the £100,000 cash prize.
But could Kerry be next to go? Read on for everything you need to know about Big Brother 2023 housemate Kerry.

Age: 40
Hometown: Essex
Job: NHS Manager
Kerry is a NHS manager from Essex.
The contestant is 40 years old, and wasn’t impressed when Farida, who is 50, suggested they were a similar age during a discussion about cosmetic procedures.
Talking about herself and Kerry, Farida said, “Our generation never did it. We weren’t aware,” to which Kerry said: “I’ve never felt so old. Our generation?”
What has Kerry said about Big Brother?
Kerry has been a lover of Big Brother for years but admitted it has always felt “unachievable” for her due to her multiple sclerosis and being in a wheelchair.
When she saw the show was making a comeback and “searching for real people from all walks of life”, she knew it was her time to shine.
The NHS manager is really looking forward to “meeting new people”.
She said: “I’m quite plugged in and I’ve got quite a bit of emotional intelligence so I think I’ll know if someone is having rubbish day and we’ll have a chat.
“I’m quite inquisitive and nosy. I’m also really, really looking forward to the challenges and the tasks.”
While Kerry is hoping to have the best time possible on Big Brother, she admitted her fellow housemates could put her up for nomination for being “a bit bossy”.
“I’m gonna really try not to be but I really like things to go my way. I definitely talk too much and I’m loud. My husband always says that even my whisper is a normal person’s talking voice,” she explained.
Kerry is one of the 16 contestants in the Big Brother house. She will be living with the likes of butcher Tom, model Zak and doctor Matty.
