A full rundown of all the ages of the Big Brother housemates for 2023

Big Brother is back for 2023 with a full ITV reboot – including a brand new house, brand new hosts and of course a load of new housemates who are primed to make their legacy and give us the essential and classic reality TV Big Brother is famous for. ITV delivered on their promise of filling the house with a variety of normal people – so here’s a rundown of all the ages of the Big Brother housemates for this brand new 2023 season.

Chanelle Bowen – 29

Welsh icon Channel is 29 and from Llanelli. I can’t get over her declaring to Jordan that he must fancy her last night. Pure cinema.

Dylan Tennant – 39

Coventry DJ Dylan is the third oldest of all the housemates ages in Big Brother this year. But with that cartwheel he managed in the garden last night he surely shaved 10 years off his age.

Farida Khalifa – 50

Mother of the house Farida is the oldest, 50 years old. Icon.

Hallie Clarke – 18

From the oldest to the youngest – Hallie is only 18 years old. She’s a credit to herself that she’s so mature for her age, and her coming out as trans last night to the whole house in the current culture wars political climate stoked by the right wing press solidified her as brave beyond her years, too.

Henry Southan – 25

Young gay Tories are actually going to be the death of me, I swear to god.

Jenkin Edward – 25

Poor Jenkin has been through the absolute ringer for his first two days as a housemate. The Welshy from Bridgend is 25 – pretty much in the middle of all the cast ages.

Jordan Sangha – 25

Jordan is also 25, although his Downton Abbey inspired accent which he got whilst ridding his native Scunthorpe one suggests his interests are older than those of most his age. Bit of a character, though.

Kerry Riches – 40

Another housemate mum – mistaken this week for one of the Adele impersonators the singer pranked. Alas, Kerry is no Adele impersonator. She is an Essex icon though – the second oldest in the house.

Matty Simpson – 24

I’m yet to forgive Matty for taking his shoes off in his VT, to be honest. This Manx doctor is 24.

Noky Simbani – 26

The most beautiful woman in Derby and potentially the world is 26. How she’s younger than me and looks better and more put together than I will ever look in my past, present or future is a feat.

Olivia Young – 23

Of course Olivia is only 23. she’s giving it high kicks and tantrums every 10 minutes.

Paul Blackburn – 23

No shade to Paul because he’s obviously well fit, but how is he only 23? What 23 year old gets the Union Jack tattooed on their forearm? Be serious.

Tom Bryant – 21

Not shocked that Tom is the second youngest of all the ages of the Big Brother housemates this year, because has anyone ever looked more university student than him? I think not.

Trish Balusa – 33

The queen of shady facial expressions.

Yinrun Huang – 25

National treasure Yinrun is 25! I can’t tell if I thought she’d be older or younger actually – she’s an enigma.

Zak Srakaew – 28

The sexy Zak is 28 – not a bad age for someone we all know for modelling our ASOS clothes for what feels like a lifetime.
