Indian student Sree Dasari is among the 16 contestants who will be joining 'Big Brother' house, according to The Sun.

The tenth series, which kicks off on Channel 4 tonight at 21:00 will see the new housemates entering the house for the first time. Dasari dubbed as "Super Shree" by his friends is 24 years old and wants to be an MP.

Dasari's motto, according to The Sun is, "I am not only an Indian - I wanna be the citizen of the world."

He is a business student at the University Of Hertfordshire and was recently voted president of the Students' Union.

Earlier, it was confirmed by show producers that each of the 16 "housemates" will have to earn the right to remain on the show. Each applicant will be given specially designed tasks to challenge their "fear and pride".
