Heidi Fleiss was the eighth star to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house tonight.

Californian vegetarian Heidi Fleiss is well known for running an extremely successful yet illegal prostitution ring. In 1993 Heidi was arrested on multiple charges. The media reports of her arrest catapulted Heidi into the limelight as ‘a Hollywood Madam’ although to this day she refuses to name her clients.

Her trial in 1994 was well publicised resulting in a documentary being made about her past career. After a spell behind bars Heidi later sold the rights to her life story to Hollywood: the result was a made-for-TV-movie called ‘Call Me: the Rise and Fall of Heidi Fleiss”

She has produced a DVD with Victoria Sellers called “Sex Tips” and has gone on to develop various other business interests including running a Laundromat called Dirty Laundry in Nevada. Heidi is an animal lover and is reported to keep parrots.

We think Heidi will provide some excellent TV moments during this year’s CBB. Do you agree? Leave your comments below.
