A COTSWOLD "royalist" has decided to take his chances on the big screen and see if he can win this year's Big Brother.

Henry, a food writer from Toddington, near Winchcombe, is starring on the revival of the hit show and is competing for the £100,000 cash prize. 

Last night (Sunday), Big Brother returned to screens, where we watched sixteen housemates arrive at the house before a live studio audience.

The 25-year-old made quite the entrance on last night's episode on ITV2.

In a video shown during his entrance into the famous house, Henry said: "At the last election, I voted for the conservative party because, at the end of the day, Boris Johnson is the person I'd want to go for a martini with the most.

"I am definitely a royalist, and people who do not like the royal family should just leave the country, to be honest."

He also revealed how he is looking to learn life skills such as cooking, cleaning and washing on the show, having not shown how at boarding school.

When asked how his friends and family would describe him, he said: "I think they would say I'm particularly sociable and very chatty.

"I mean, I'll be honest, my parents would definitely say I'm a bit of a snob, but I take it as a compliment.

"I think it means you've got high standards and good taste. They'd say I was quite a peculiar child."

One by one, each housemate arrived by car as they were introduced to the nation and greeted by hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best.

The public plays a crucial role, voting throughout the series and ultimately determining the winner, who will walk away with the life-changing cash prize.

When asked what he hopes to do with the cash prize, Henry said: "I would definitely go on a fabulous holiday somewhere to start off with because I feel like I deserve one.

"Then I've got a couple of potential business ideas that I've been mulling over for a long time that I might be able to invest some of it in."

Will Henry have a chance at winning the prize?

Big Brother will be on again tonight (Monday), on ITV2 at 9pm.
