Who would be your ideal housemate, if you could choose anyone, and why? Why do you think you are so popular with students? Holly (Hagan) and Sophie (Kashei) are my ideal housemates. We get on really well and have such a laugh, and after having lived together we have become really good mates, which has helped us start a business together. Maybe because they can relate to me? Everything that’s happening on the show happens in real life, and students love to party so I think they can actually relate to everything that happens on the show! Who did you get on with most in the Big Brother house? Who would be your nightmare housemate and why? I got on really well with Carol (McGiffin) – she was really nice and great fun. Vicky and Bruce from the Celebrity Big Brother house. They are both too angry and judgemental and it is hard to live with people who are like that. Any tips for dealing with housemates you don’t get on with? Avoid them! In the end it is the best thing to do. When I went into the Celebrity Big Brother house, I couldn’t choose my housemates and I guess it is a bit like going to Uni and ending up in a hall full of people you don’t know. Some of them you will get on with and some you won’t. Just remember to choose carefully when you get the chance in the second year! What advice do you have for students who are about to get involved in a relationship with a housemate? I was only at college for a year and nothing really exciting happened there; secondary school was the best time of my life and I had so much fun with my friends. I guess that one of the best things about going to Uni is making new friends and, for me, the equivalent has been the experience of being in the Geordie Shore house. We’ve become like family so it’s impossible to ever feel lonely in there. We notice that you fancy being in Downton Abbey. Any other famous houses you would like to live in? Buckingham Palace! Don’t do it. It could get very messy. Just look at me and Gary. It ended up getting me thrown out of the house a few times. Although getting thrown out does give me a bit of a break and a chance to see my family, its probably not the ideal situation for everyone. www.accommodationforstudents.com 9 CHARLOTTE CROSBY – INTERVIEW Did you enjoy being a student?
