Faria Alam, a contestant from last years show, has expressed her delight at the prospect of seeing David Hasslehoff on this years series of Celebrity Big Brother.

“David Hasslehoff would be fantastic,” she said.

“I’m in New York at the moment and he’s just massive over here. I think he’d add a lot of spice, but you also would see his downsides as well because it undoes aspects of you that people don’t see. You get angry and break down to some degree.

“It’s nice to see the real human,” she added.
