Who is Ellis Hillon?
Ellis, 20, is a fast food worker from Glasgow, who lives with her mum and two sisters just outside the city.
The teenager, who is only 4'8", entered the house on launch night on Friday, September 14.
Speaking before the show began, she said: "I have always been a fan of the show.
"When I was watching Celebrity Big Brother in January with my friend, and I said I would really love to be there, my friend was like, ‘Why don’t you apply?’
"And I was like, ‘No, I will never get on it,’ and she was like, ‘Go on.’
"So I applied, and I honestly thought I would never hear anything back.
"And then one day, I was having a really bad day, like I was honestly really upset, so I went to my friend’s house – the one who helped me apply, she filmed my video - and then I got a phone call from an unknown number.
"I normally don’t answer them, but they asked me to come to an audition day. I was like, ‘Oh my.’"
When asked what she would bring to the house, she added: "Lots of laughs, lots of fun. I am quite upbeat, so if anyone is in a bad mood I feel I will put them in such a good mood.
"I can always bring people’s moods up. I am always singing and stuff. I don’t care if I annoy anyone, they can deal with it."

Why was Ellis removed from Big Brother 2018?
Ellis was kicked out of the house following an investigation into tweets she had previously posted.
A message on the show's official Twitter account read: "As a result of our investigation into offensive and unacceptable posts on social media, Ellis Hillon has been removed from the Big Brother House."
It followed the revelation Ellis had posted messages about the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The tweet was circulating online after Ellis wiped her Twitter account clean before going into the house on Friday night.
A number of tweets which she had previously deleted were grabbed by followers who then shared them.
One of the messages included a sick post about the 2001 attacks, which left nearly 3,000 people dead.
The messages includes several expletives as well as a vile racial slur.
The tweet - posted on September 11, 2014 - read: "Oh f*** aye its 9/11!! RIP to everyone who died n f*** they smelly p*** terrorist b*******!!!"
Several other messages, alleged to have been posted by Ellis, are said to have included the N-word. They have been deleted.
