She’s already making an impression in the Big Brother house, days after her entrance, and viewers are falling hard for Ali Bromley.

‘She’s my winner – saying it on night one,’ said one viewer commented, with another telly watcher adding, 'Woman crush.'

Even Former contestant Kerry Riches remarked, ‘She seems nice.’

Before she entered the famous house, Ali vowed not to change who she is for the sake of winning votes or housemates over.

‘I’m going to be myself. My strategy would be getting to know people in the house and trying to make friends,’ she said. ‘Hopefully [I’ll be] getting people on side and being liked. But not to the detriment of sacrificing who I am or my self-respect.’

She added, ‘I hope that I will bring humour, friendship – I’m quite understanding and caring. I would also be someone that people confide in and come to for advice. That always happens to me – when I tell people that I’m a psychologist.’

What is Ali from Big Brother’s job?

Ali works as a forensic psychologist. ‘I think the fact that I’m a forensic psychologist will surprise people,’ she explained. ‘It’s not your everyday, typical nine-to-five office job. It’s quite difficult, it’s quite demanding and I work in highly stressful situations.

‘But I’m quite chilled and probably don’t look like the sort of person who can hold my own – in a prison for example.’

Why did Ali apply for Big Brother?

‘There are a few different reasons. The main one being that I wanted to do something really exciting and something I can talk about for years to come,’ Ali said.

‘I want to meet new people and have an amazing experience and do something really different.’

Who is Ali’s dream housemate?

Ali would love to share a house with an American reality star. ‘I really like Chrishell Stause from Selling Sunset,’ she revealed.

‘I think she’s really funny and cool. And I’d like to hear from her perspective about being on a TV show – because it’s so crazy and it’s so wild compared to anything we do in the UK.’
