Big Brother is finally back on our screens and we couldn’t be happier with the 2024 line-up, not to mention the dreamy hosts, AJ Odudu and Will Best. The housemates have finally moved in, and so far we’ve already got a twists, some touching confessions from Ali, and a possible budding romance between Lily and Thomas. We’re in for quite a series.
One housemate we’re keen to see more of is Khaled, so here’s all the info you’ll need on the soon-to-be star.
Who is Khaled?
Khaled is one of the newest housemates on Big Brother.
How old is Khaled?
Khaled is 23 years old.
Where is Khaled from?
Khaled grew up in Manchester. He was born in Lebanon and came to the UK as a young boy.
What does Khaled do?
Before he entered the Big Brother house, Khaled was a sales manager and a model for Nemesis models. However, Khaled claims he has no interest in fame, and even says that he had no idea what the show was about before applying. He told producers, ‘I thought it was a show about being a carer – because I worked at a kids’ camp. I thought it’s a new opportunity in life. I have no interest in being famous.’
This standpoint didn’t stop the model from going through with the application and staying in the house, so we’ll see if his opinion changes at all throughout the series.
Why did Khaled go on Big Brother?
Khaled told BB producers, ‘I’m Lebanese and Palestinian and I thought this would be a great platform to discuss it from the point of view of someone that grew up in the west and has Middle Eastern heritage.’
What would Khaled do with the money if he won Big Brother?
The 23-year-old has big plans with his potential winnings, and told producers, ‘I’d donate to Palestine, donate to Lebanon, take my family on holiday and invest in a business in the UK – something around health because I’m really into fitness.’
Does Khaled have a girlfriend?
Khaled is a single man, so feel free to slide into his DMs when he leaves the BB house. He’s open to love, telling the producers in his promo video, ‘I do like a traditional romance, I do like the idea of being in love.’ Maybe if Big Brother doesn’t work out, Love Island could be in his future?
Does Khaled have an Instagram account?
While all the housemates’ accounts are set to private while they’re in the house, Khaled’s is nowhere to be found - he already has a fair few fan accounts, though.
You can watch Big Brother every night except Saturdays at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
