Who is David Potts? Celebrity Big Brother 2024 contestant and reality TV star
Here's everything you need to know about the celebrity housemate.
It was another dramatic evening on Celebrity Big Brother last night (Wednesday 13th March) as Lauren Simon said her goodbyes after getting the lowest number of votes from viewers.
She was closely followed by Sharon Osbourne, whose time on the show as a lodger came to an end.
They might slowly be being whittled down, but there are still plenty of stars in the house at this stage, including Fern Britton, Levi Roots and Colson Smith.
Another contestant who’s still in the running is David Potts.
David is no stranger to reality TV and finding fame on Ibiza Weekender and its subsequent spin-off shows: Kavos Weekender and the Magaluf Weekender.
Since then, David has become well-acquainted with the reality TV circuit, appearing in shows like The Big Celebrity Detox, Celebs Go Dating, Celebs on the Farm, Celebrity Karaoke Club and Celebrity Ghost Trip.
But who exactly is David Potts? What does he bring to the Celebrity Big Brother house? Here's everything you need to know.

David Potts is a former holiday rep and current reality TV star. He describes himself as the "loud and annoying one" from Ibiza Weekender — having appeared on the show since 2016 and becoming head holiday rep from season 6 onwards.
After rising to fame on Ibiza Weekender, he went on to appear in an episode of Celebrity Dinner Date, became a cast member on Celebs Go Dating, and finished as the runner-up in a range of competition-based reality shows including Celebs on the Farm, Celeb Karaoke Club, and Celebrity Ghost Trip.

He also appeared as a contestant on Apocalypse Wow, and guest-starred on shows like CelebAbility, Hey Tracey! and Home Alone with Joel Dommett. In 2022, he also was a co-host for dating show The Cabins.
On why he wanted to join the Celebrity Big Brother House, David said: "I wanted to do something different, I love throwing myself into new things and I just think I’ll have a ball with it. I’m also a massive fan of the show so how could I possibly turn down the opportunity to be part of the first Celebrity Big Brother on ITV1?"
Among other things, David says he's looking for his future husband in the CBB house, but added: "Well if I don’t get a husband, then just a good time is enough for me!"
Who is David Potts' twin brother?
David has a twin brother, Matthew Potts, who told MailOnline that he has to “provide evidence” that David is his brother because of how different they are from one another.
Matthew, who works as a physio for Championship football side Huddersfield Town, said: "We have gone down two totally different paths.
"It's a thing for people when they find out who he is... I don't go around shouting about it but when people do find out they are quite shocked and I always have to provide evidence we're related because they don't believe me, which is quite funny.
"We got put in the same outfits and as twins you get put in the same bubble but the reality is – and as we have proven – we're just totally completely different people."
