Biography[]
Caroline was a 37-year-old from Birmingham who came from a large family as one of seven children. She fears losing her mother but wouldn't say why. She had no further education but has completed an 'Open Access' course in Theatre.
Caroline was unemployed before entering Big Brother; her previous jobs have included mortgage consultant, telephonist, special constable for West Midlands Police, vocalist in a rave organization, cleaner in a gay bar, makeovers, and sold sex toys. She says her dream job would be in a creative role like writing or performing songs
She has two pet goldfish called "Hannibal the Cannibal" and "Hoover." She says "I like pets because you don't have to discuss how you're feeling, they just know."
Caroline likes curry powder, fresh coriander, chicken, bread, mysticism, and can't live without broccoli. She highly dislikes celery, turnips, red meats, cruelty, being without a car, no money, no garden, hypocrisy and to see others unhappy
Her favorite books are "Heal Your Life" by Louise Hay, "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" by Richard Bach, "Lords of the Night" by Monique Ellis, and "Robots Rebellion" by David Icke.
Caroline wanted to be on Big Brother for the fame, money, self-discovery, friendships, and "as an experiment". She describes herself as: "Energetic, open, truthful, great sense of humor, perceptive, and tolerant until pushed then apparently I'm scary." Her brother says she is "very much a non- conformist" Her friends say Caroline is fun-loving, a star in her own right, a good shoulder to cry on, and generous and optimistic.
Her good traits are positivity, good listener, good conversationalist, child-like, resilient, hospitable, and a team player while her bad traits are scattyness, untidiness, and smoking.
She likes a variety of music except "tinny techno rubbish and violent rap" and can play the saxophone. Her favorite songs are Ivory Madonna by UB40, High Hopes by Frank Sinatra, Finally by CeCe Penniston, like a prayer by Madonna and the classic Superwoman.
Caroline has a keen interest in holistic healing and alternative thought patterns. And, like most people, hopes to have met her Prince Charming and be living happily ever after in 10 years time.
