Mikey tipped for Big Brother win
The winner of the ninth series of Big Brother will be crowned later.
Rachel, Sara, Rex, Darnell and Mikey have survived 93 days in the house, but only one housemate will walk away with the 100,000 prize.
Bookies’ favourite Mikey Hughes, 33, is a radio producer from Ayrshire, Scotland. At 23 Mikey lost his sight while undergoing an operation and is now a radio producer for the blind station Radio Insight.
The outsider is albino Darnell Swallow, 26, a songwriter from London. He was deported to the UK after getting involved with gang culture in the US.
He was born in Ipswich and raised in St Louis in the US and focuses much of his time mentoring community groups.
Australian Sara Folino, 27, was a late comer to the Big Brother house. She had a rural upbringing in Melbourne but moved to London five years ago. She now works as a personal assistant.
The housemates had a special supper on Thursday night to mark the end of their time in the house.
“What have you enjoyed the most about your Big Brother experience?” Sara asked Darnell.
Darnell replied: “Just meeting all these beautiful people. I came in here feeling lonely, with nothing, and I’m leaving with a whole lot of things dude.
“I definitely feel like I’m where I belong now, know what I’m saying?”
Also in the running is chef Rex Newmark, 24, from London. Before he entered the house he said his three loves in life were food, money and success.
And Rachel Rice, 24, a trainee teacher from Torfaen, Wales, will also face the public vote. She is a former child actor who featured alongside Hugh Grant in the film Night Train to Venice at the age of eight.
Big Brother marked their last supper by playing music into the house, including My Way by Frank Sinatra and I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston.
