Big Brother

Before entering the Big Brother house on 20 February 2011 Kazelis of Serbian and Greek descent [2] was a school teacher.

[4] On 8 May Kazelis was finally evicted from the Big Brother house. [5] Kazelis has become the most talked-about housemate of the 2011 season of the show after several outbursts and her outspoken ways about her fellow housemates. [6]

On 6 June Kazelis revealed she had signed a record deal and was to release her first music single called "Make You One of Mine" the same day, [1] during Nyhetsmorgon on TV4. She also revealed that a music video had been made to be released with her debut music album later in 2011. [8] But in December 2011, Kazelis revealed through her blog that the single and album had been postponed due to conflicts with the record company.
