Get ready to hear singing all throughout Celebrity Big Brother, because vocal powerhouse Marisha Wallace has made herself at home.<\/p>\n

The West End and Broadway star joined Big Brother during last night\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

For Wallace, her \u201clife is a musical\u201d, so housemates can expect a lot of singing. \u201cI love to sing and I sing all the time, even doing random chores and activities,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

But at the same time, Wallace wants people to get to know the real her. \u201cI hope to let the world find out more about me as a person and not just the roles that I play,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m 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\u2019t have a lot but who dream big, and hopefully I can inspire them to dream bigger.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for her dream housemates, Wallace lists Michelle Obama, Beyonc\u00e9, Oprah Winfrey, Hannah Waddingham and RuPaul. The CBB house has none of these (so far), but they do have Sharon Osbourne for a week.<\/p>\n
