Primary School Teacher, 30, WA

Emily is a primary school teacher from WA with a big heart, quick wit, and many loveable quirks that define her sensitive nature. But she’s the first to admit she’s a hypochondriac and a germophobe!

Now happily married to her childhood best friend, she is in a secure and loving relationship – but that’s not always been the case, having previously endured a six-year relationship with a narcissist. That experience shaped her into someone who is deeply empathetic, wildly loyal, and not afraid to laugh at herself.

She’s the kind of housemate who will cry during a kid’s movie, over-talk when nervous and snore in her sleep. But she’s also the one who’ll bring warmth, humour and heart to the house. She’s here to show Australia that being quirky, emotional and a little bit chaotic is something to celebrate. An acquired taste… and Australia’s about to acquire a craving!
