Kellie, who owns the The Looking Glass salon in Barrowford, decided to apply for the show after a friend saw an ad and suggested she would be 'perfect' for it.
Kellie said: "I decided to apply one night while I was relaxing with a glass of wine.
"I did it on a whim really but I thought it was something a little bit different and funny. It is quite radical but I am quite a radical person and I love being around people and having a houseful."

Single since May, Kellie said the show, which aims to take the hard work out of meeting and dating someone, was the perfect formula for her as her life revolves around work and her two children, aged five and three. This leaves little time for socialising and the opportunity to meet someone.
And Kellie (33) said the show's producers found her five such excellent matches the eliminiation process was tough.
She said: "It was hard because you are just getting to know them but the decision has to be made."

Viewers can watch the five hopefuls who are are Steve, a British Army Commando, Lee, an amateur strongman, nightclub DJ Barry, sports shop manager Craig and gourmet burger van owner Anthony, as they compete for Kellie's affections.
Kellie added: "It really was a fantastic week, we had a great time together laughing and enjoying each other's company.
"We went out a few times and they even joined me at the salon where I put them to work for a few hours doing a few jobs for me!"
