BIG Brother 2018 is nearing its end, and it's brought drama, rows and fun.

Who is Sian Hamshaw from Big Brother 2018?

Sian Hamshaw is a 25-year-old waitress from Barnsley.

In her Big Brother clip she says: "I've had a pretty normal life. I'm a peasant, I grew up on a council estate."

"If you can make me laugh then you're in."

Why is Sian Hamshaw on Big Brother and is she on social media?

Speaking about going into Big Brother she said: "I’m spontaneous – I’m the type of person to book a holiday on my own and just go and see new things.
"I am in a routine – go to work, go to café, to home. I’ve never applied before, but when your mates push you to something and you get really excited.
"I’m going to see what will happen. I think my family and friends will be really shocked to see me going into the House."

Sian is a mother and a model who regularly posts pictures of herself and her son on Instagram.
She has over 6,000 followers on her account

When is Big Brother 2018 on TV and who is presenting?

Big Brother returned to Channel 5 on the September 14 this year.

Emma Willis is hosting the 19th series of Big Brother, having begun her stint on the show back in 2013.

The outrageous Rylan Clark-Neal continues at the helm of popular spin-off show Big Brother’s Bit on the Side for all the gossip from the house.

Traditionally BB airs in June but TV bosses pushed it back so it didn't clash with Love Island.

The launch comes just days after the final of the explosive second series of Celebrity Big Brother for 2018, which saw Ryan Thomas emerge as the winner.

BB housemates were told they may have to keep 14 weeks free as the series is set to be the longest since 2007, which lasted 13 weeks.

Where is the Civilian Big Brother house and has it moved for 2018?

The house has not moved for the latest series.

The current setting for both Big Brother and Civilian Big Brother is a large compound in Borehamwood, nestled right next to where the original Star Wars was filmed.

The site is just a 22-minute train journey from London Kings Cross Station.

Moving the Big Brother house to Elstree Studios in the Hertfordshire location has allowed housemates an extra level of protection.

The famous house was originally located in Bow, London, near the 3 Mills Studios.

Who won Big Brother 2017?

Last year's explosive Big Brother series was won by Isabelle Warburton.

The reality star - who won £65,000 - revealed she would be donating some of her winnings to a mental health charity.

Speaking to The Sun Online, she said: "I just think that mental health is really neglected because people don’t see it - so like, a broken leg is given more attention than like something that’s within your head.

"And until you’ve suffered from anxiety or anything along those lines you don’t know how people are feeling and it’s so important to raise awareness."

The 21-year-old was left shocked when it was announced she had won the latest series of the Channel 5 reality show.

Reflecting on her time in the house, Isabelle said she did her best to stay calm in the many arguments which ensued.
