Sarah Griffiths, a 27-year-old spa account manager from Shropshire, applied for Big Brother on a whim after also applying for The Chase. She shares her experience on the show, the impact of social media, and the challenges of reality TV.
Sarah Griffiths applied for the reality show on a whim, after also bidding to appear on quiz show The Chase. Earlier this year, 27 year-old Sarah Griffiths sent off an application to appear on ITV's popular quiz show, The Chase. The spa account manager from Bayston Hill, Shropshire, then decided on a whim to also apply for Big Brother , which she had been a fan of for years.

'The Shropshire lifestyle blew away – barn dances, tractor runs, shuffles… they were looking at me like I had three heads,' she laughed. The 2024 season of the show got under way on 6 October and Ms Grrifiths survived for six weeks before becoming the ninth housemate to be eliminated.However, she said a lack of sleep and the pressure of challenges had had an effect on her emotions.'All the emotions, every little fight, every word you overthink, feels like the end of the world.'After her eviction, she said comments on social media were difficult to handle. 'I should've taken more time to realise there's people that loved me before I went in, and there's people that are going to love me coming out,' she said. 'I would see 10 amazing messages… and it takes one to be like: 'You're this, that, and the other,' and it just brings you dow
