ONE of the latest Big Brother stars is being fiercely defended by her friends after she was branded ‘fake’ by viewers.
Dental nurse Rosie, 29, was met with scepticism during yesterday’s launch, with show fans insisting she was an actress and mole sent in by bosses.
In the comments section of her introduction VT on Instagram, one person wrote: “Seems fake or forced? Idk, some acting going on there.”
Someone else agreed: “Shes an actress . Def not a real housemate?????”
But some of Rosie’s real life pals soon swooped in to defend her, with one writing: “she’s not I can assure you! I work with her and she’s real and very much like this.”
Another added: “she’s one of the kindest people I know!”
A third said: “She’s one of my best friends, she’s a little eccentric and that is who she is. She is so genuine and has a massive heart! She’s just nuts, but not fake or forced.”
While a fourth chimed in with: “As someone that knows Rosie, What you guys are seeing is 100% the real Rosie & she is the most loveliest & sweetest person!”
One more claimed: “She works with my mum… I can genuinely say she is exactly like this in real life!”
Originally hailing from Essex, Rosie, who now lives in Cornwall, was the first contestant introduced last night.
Speaking about why she wanted to be a BB housemate, she told ITV: “This is something I’ve always wanted to do and I know it’s so easy to say but it’s the best opportunity. I can’t tell you how grateful I am.
“I can’t even believe it’s happening!”
Rosie went on: “I’m hoping it’s going to be a little something different.
“I think I’m going to bring positive energy. I am a good listener and I can be there to support people – I’m a supportive person.
“I’m quite an enthusiastic person so if people are feeling a bit low, I can get them back on track.”
Becoming a reality star
On October 6, 2024, Rosie entered the Big Brother compound and became a fully fledged reality star.
Speaking about why she might get put up for eviction, she said: “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.”
Rosie also revealed the heartwarming reason she wanted win the £100K prize.
“I have a few friends that I’d love to pay for them to have IVF treatment,” she told ITV.
“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!”
