When asked what she was most looking forward to on Big Brother, Yinrun told ITV before going in the house: "I'm most excited about being surrounded by so many people from different walks of life.

If she wins the show and scoops the £100k jackpot, Yinrun has dreams of moving to the countryside.

"And I’ll have eggs from the chicken, it will be so wholesome. This is my dream."
