Celebrity Big Brother 2009 - Lucy Pinder's Tommy love

Monday, 5 January 2009

Lucy Pinder seems to have a secret obsession with all things politics so Tommy Sheridan might have a new best friend during his stay in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

Lucy is opinionated and likes talking politics but is worried "everyone is going to hate [her because she is] a bit of a Tory bird!" If there is conflict, she would like to be the mediator of the house.

Lucy describes herself as "officially the most indecisive person", not "very rock n roll", easy going and a good listener. Lucy is coulrophobic which means she is frightened of clowns. She is a lifelong Southampton Football Club Supporter and is an ambassador for Kick 4 Life, a charity that uses football to fight poverty and disease in developing countries.

Lucy has 3 cats – Tabby, Jackson and Mason and most admires Margaret Thatcher for being the first female Prime Minister. Her lifetime ambition is to hold a monkey.

Her guiltiest pleasure is expensive face creams.

Big Brother is a "lifetime opportunity" and Lucy would like to test herself to see what she'll be like living stuck in a house with a bunch of strangers.

Lucy says she is a bit of a "control freak" so the fact that she is "handing [herself] over to BB, is a challenge".

Lucy was discovered by a freelance photographer when she was sun bathing with a friend in her hometown of Bournemouth.

Lucy recalls: "I don't know why we agreed, but he took some pictures of us on the beach, and sent them off to The Daily Star and The Sun. The Daily Star wanted some more photos and on the back of that I got a contract".

Lucy would love to be in EastEnders and thinks she would make the perfect 'James Bond villain'.
