Mary O'Leary
Big Brother series 6 housemate, Mary O'Leary, who was aged 30 when she entered the house, was born in Ireland.
Mary was the first housemate to be evicted, after she and Craig had been nominated. The nomination was not a typical one. In short, Craig and Mary had been selected by Makosi.
Mary's reaction to her eviction and quotes by her on the other housemates are available from our news item on Mary's eviction.
The "white witch" is the daughter of a former priest an an ex-nun and describes herself as a cross between Worzel Gummidge and Inspector Morse.
Mary O'Leary arrived at the Big Brother house wearing a hooded black cloak and carrying a broomstick and was booed by the crowd.
Mary got rid of the cape and broomstick before going into the house. She claims to be ruthless, and extremely intelligent and hates TV programmes produced for the masses.
Mary said that she entered Big Brother for personal growth and because she needed the money.
It emerged that Mary O'Leary had worked at a massage parlour in North London shortly before going on Big Brother.
When she was evicted Mary said her Big Brother experience had giving her confidence and that she had learnt not to judge a book by its cover.
Mary believes that too much has been made of her witchcraft and that being a witch is about '1 per cent of me'.
