The West End star will be singing all around the house!
Get ready to hear singing all throughout Celebrity Big Brother, because vocal powerhouse Marisha Wallace has made herself at home.
The West End and Broadway star joined Big Brother during last night’s live launch and will be living alongside Gary Goldsmith, Fern Britton and Louis Walsh, as they all take part in nail-biting evictions and awkward nominations.
For Wallace, her “life is a musical”, so housemates can expect a lot of singing. “I love to sing and I sing all the time, even doing random chores and activities,” she says.
But at the same time, Wallace wants people to get to know the real her. “I hope to let the world find out more about me as a person and not just the roles that I play,” she adds.
“I’m excited to represent the theatre community on this huge platform. I want to tell my stories and inspire people who come from small towns who don’t have a lot but who dream big, and hopefully I can inspire them to dream bigger.”
As for her dream housemates, Wallace lists Michelle Obama, Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey, Hannah Waddingham and RuPaul. The CBB house has none of these (so far), but they do have Sharon Osbourne for a week.
