Bubbly Bourtreehill lass Sam Brodie, who used to be known as Samuel Brodie before he began dressing as a woman whilst at school, made it to through to the short-list of 25 possible new contestants for the hit reality TV show.o And on Monday, Sam, 19, eventually entered the house after current BB favourite Pete answered question correctly in a special task.
Housemates had not idea they were in with a chance of "winning" two new housemates and when Welsh lifeguard opened the boxes in a live show, Sam and another new housemate jumped out.
Pals of the former Greenwood Academy pupil, whose parents are from Girdle Toll, have this week called on locals to back Sam.
An ex-classmate from Bourtreehill who asked not to be named, beamed: 'She is a lovely, lovely lassie. She"s a bit shy at first, but she"s very open about everything.`
