Luke Anderson (born 1981) is a South African-born 31-year-old chef from Flintshire. He was assigned female at birth and used to be called Laura.[12] He was one of two housemates called Luke in the house, so was referred to as Luke A to avoid confusion. In Week 7, he was nominated to face the public vote against Lauren, and survived.[13] In Week 9, Luke A faced the public vote for the third time in succession, against three other housemates, and survived for a third time. On Day 70, Luke A left the house as the winner of Big Brother 13.
