Savannah O’Reilly confirmed as permanent new Big Brother housemate with predictions she will ‘stir things up’
SOME Irish charm has been permanently added to the Big Brother house - at least until she gets nominated for eviciton.
Rylan Clark-Neal has confirmed newcomer Savannah O'Reilly will stay in the BB house after entering the house as part of a task on Tuesday.
During Bit on the Side on Tuesday night, the host revealed that Savannah was the first of two new housemates to be joining the reality show cast full time.
Savannah was sent in alongside Isabelle Warburton and Sam Chaloner - the latter two still competing for one more spot in the house.

Fans welcomed the addition of Savannah following a lack of UK national diversity in the house (all are English except Welsh Tom Barber and US raised Raph Korine).
And it is also hoped Savannah could stir up the house - with Bit on the Side guest Trisha Goddard predicting the Irish beauty could bring fresh drama to the show.
"I think it's wonderful news. Especially for Joe," the agony aunt said.
"I think with Savannah she will be seen as a strong person. So people will be seeking to make an alliance with her to get them through the next stage," Trisha suggested.
"It's like the new popular girl at school. Everybody wants to be in their gang," she added.
Viewers were also excited to hear the news that Savannah has been selected to join the current housemates full time.
“Savannah is a housemate?? YAASS by far the best of the 3 candidates #bbuk #BBBOTS,” one thrilled viewer tweeted.
“It's great that Savannah made it into the house! #BBBOTS #BBUK #BBSavannah,” wrote another.
A third suggested a This Morning host would be excited, tweeting: “@EamonnHolmes will be happy Finialy a Irish housemate going in this series @bbuk #BBBOTS #BBUK”.
The fact someone from Ireland is joining the cast was welcomed by many, with one tweeting “We got an Irish housemate :) #BBBOTS #BBUK Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy”.
Savannah is 26-years-old and hails from Dublin, Ireland, but also splits her time between London and Los Angeles.
She claims to be "close friends" with Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande.
Savannah has her eye on veteran housemate Kieran but she’ll have competition from Isabelle Warburton (who is still in the running to join the house full time) – who claims to have already bedded him.
