Well it’s started! Celebrity Big Brother is now underway and for once the tabloids seemed to be pretty spot on in their predictions this year.

The Celebrity Big Brother housemates of 2007 are as follows (click on their names to read their full profiles and biographies!):

Jermaine Jackson: Jermaine made a big deal of the fact that he is hyper clean, hyper germ conscious and doesn’t know if he can survive without his servants and cook…A bit of the David Gest in him then!

Danielle Lloyd: Danielle was crowned Miss Great Britain earlier this year, only to be stripped of her crown and title when it emerged that she was dating one of the contests judges Teddy Sheringham.

Ken Russell: A famous British Film Director, Ken has received 3 BAFTA’s for his work and directed films such as ‘Tommy’ and ‘Women In Love’ in his heyday! Ken emerged from his car singing a rather out of tune version of ‘Singin In The Rain’. He had to be helped both up and down the staircases by Davina, at one point I wondered if he would make it as far as the living room. I have heard some cruel people comment (though it definitely wasn’t me!) that Ken could be the first person to die on Big Brother. But that would be a step too far wouldn’t it!

Jo O’Meara: Jo is best known for her time as lead singer of pop group S Club 7. She also appeared last year on BBC’s Just The Two Of Us as the professional half of a singing duo. Jo declared that she was absolutely terrified of entering the house and didn’t want to meet anyone “horrible”.

Leo Sayer: Singing legend who produced hits like ‘When I Need You’. Leo thinks he will be especially good at cheering up the room in the Big Brother house.

Shilpa Shetty: Shilpa is a huge Indian, Bollywood actress and can’t travel anywhere in India without a huge entourage. She is recognised everywhere she goes and says that it would scare her if no one recognised her. She walked into the BB house and guess what….no one had a clue who she was!

Carole Malone: Carole is a columnist for The Mirror and is more used to slagging off people in reality TV shows than taking part in one. Carole says that she doesn’t approve of people who are famous just for being on reality shows….or of WAGS!

Donny Tourette: Donny is the lead singer from British rock band Tower Of London, though he is probably more famous for his fling with Peaches Geldof. Donny entered the house tonight to a chorus of boos, to which he replied “F**K OFF!”. When Davina tried to steer him into the house, he yanked himself away from her, leaving her a bit unsteady, at which point the security men stepped in and hurried him along. Davina revealed that he smelt like a brewery…..I hope he is first to be evicted.

Ian Watkins (AKA H): Ian is best known as H from 90s pop band Steps. He wanted to go on Celebrity Big Brother as he is aware that everyones perception of him is “that blonde knob from Steps” and he wants to show the public that he has grown up and is no longer blonde! He is most dreading the crotch shots in the house and wants to make some wicked new friends.

Cleo Rocos: Best known for her role in Kenny Everett’s BBC series and for her close friendship with Kenny. Cleo admits that she is always nauseatingly happy and that she likes her men “old, ill and loaded!”

Dirk Benedict: Most famous for his roles in Battlestar Galactica and as Face in the 80s series The A Team. Dirk commented “Women thre themselves at me and I got very adept at catching, but I’m not very good at keeping!” Dirk revealed that he would like to meet a special lady in the house, but not one young enough to be his daughter!

Brazilian-born Cleo Rocos was born on the 24th of July 1962 in Rio de Janeiro. A glamorously curvaceous co-star, she featured heavily in all of Kenny Everett’s BBC series and became one of Everett’s closest friends. She was often portrayed wearing little more than frilly underwear and high heels, and her figure was used to great comic effect as a focus for drooling, lascivious men.
