Big Brother 9 - Lisa Appleton
Friday, 6 June 2008
One half of the first ever summer Big Brother couple, former bodybuilder Lisa Appleton has been dating fellow new housemate Mario for three years.
40-year-old Lisa is a health fanatic who teaches fitness classes alongside her regular job as a sales rep for tanning products. She is also involved in charity fundraising.
Lisa's the proud mother of an 18-year-old daughter, and has a spiritual side – she believes in reincarnation, life after death, clairvoyants, ghosts, spirit guides, and universal dynamics.
Lisa met Mario three years ago when she bought a crystal ball from him on ebay and met up with him to collect it. She says the most significant event in her life was when Mario pawned his Rolex to buy her a boob job.
Lisa says she's often likened to Xena Warrior Princess, and says she's "like a magnet exerting powerful attraction".
A "punk rocker" at age 11, she later developed an interest in archaeology at age 13, even going along to local excavations to help out.
She wants to be in the Big Brother house to unlock her inhibitions and to test herself, and would be very happy if she found the boyband Westlife in the house so she could have a bath with them.
