Celebrity Big Brother bosses were said to be surprised by the strange and silly requests made by this year’s housemates.

The final series of the Channel 4 reality TV show launches this Sunday night and The Daily Star reports that stars have demanded a mosquito net (in the middle of winter!), 500 mini-candles, a butler to serve them, a fridge full of champagne, fresh flowers, cleaning wipes and a dog.

Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss is also saif to have requested a webcam so she could watch her pet macaws, cockatiels and parrots.

A show source said: “We are used to some weird demands but this lot are more bonkers than usual.

“I think some of them believe it’s going to be a holiday camp.”
