Big Brother made its spectacular return to our screens on Sunday (6 October 2024) and, predictably, we're already obsessed with each and every one of this year's sixteen recruits - including the first housemate to walk through those front door, the iconic Rosie Williams aka Baked Potato.

And by iconic we mean she's already put gum in her hair, drank a cheese sandwich smoothie and changed her name to Baked Potato in the name of Big Brother 2024.

Here's everything you need to know about our new reality telly queen..

Why is everyone calling Big Brother's Rosie Williams 'Baked Potato'?

Rosie was dared to change her name to Baked Potato by Big Brother during the 'dare cards' challenge, which she took part in alongside Thomas Atkinson. Now everyone must call Rosie 'Baked Potato' (seriously, Rosie's even called Baked Potato on ITV press releases LOL).

During the challenge, Rosie, sorry, Baked Potato, was also dared to put gum in her hair and eat all of her meals in liquid form until further notice. Savage.

What does Big Brother's Rosie Williams think she is most likely to be nominated for?

From what we've seen so far, we disagree with this wholeheartedly, but according to Rosie, 'If people get to know me, I’m so calm and chill but I can come across quite chaotic. I think I’d probably be nominated for being the most annoying.'

No, queen. Back (hilariously close to the word 'bake') yourself, Baked Potato.

What does Big Brother's Rosie Williams plan to spend the prize money on if she wins?

No, but this is SO lovely...

Prior to entering the house, Rosie told producers, 'I have a few friends that I’d love to pay for them to have IVF treatment. I would also like to help people with mental health issues. I like helping people anyway but if I had money I’d be in a better position to do that. I’d also love to help dog charities - I love dogs!'
