Will Jennie make a lasting impression?

Jennie, 18, of Valley Road, this week joined the main part of the show after first spending time in a 'secret' house next door.

The former South Cheshire College student, who works behind the bar at the Earl pub on Nantwich Road, will now be watched by millions of viewers as her every move is tracked by cameras.

The TV phenomenon is now in its seventh year and has maintained its popularity, putting contestants through their paces with a range of bizarre tasks and challenges.

Housemates have to nominate who they want to be evicted from the show each week, with the public making the final decision in a telephone vote.

The winner stands to win £100,000, although publicity deals and dubious celebrity status usually welcome those who do well.

Jennie recently completed a two-year course at college in Crewe, completing a B-tech national diploma in business studies.

Her personal tutor Kirsty Valentine said: "She was a lovely student and very, very lively.

"She always had a smile on her face and always had something to say. She was a very popular girl.

"I think she will cope well in the house, but she has been pretty quiet and I don't think we've seen the real Jennie yet.

"I have definitely got to watch it, so I can see what she says about us!"

On the show Jennie has already had heart-to-heart discussions with fellow housemates about her boyfriend of two years, Ben Vickers, aged 20, of Brookland Avenue.

Adam Harper, who works with Jennie at the Earl, said her friends have been watching the show and cheering her on at the pub.

He said: "I have been mates with Jennie for years and she is a really likeable person. She is really outgoing - much more so than we have seen yet on the show.

"I think she will love it now that she's in the main house. But she is someone who speaks her mind and who will tell people exactly what she thinks so we will have to see how people react to that."
