On Saturday, whilst rehearsing for her routine for ITV’s Dancing On Ice, Lisa Scott-Lee decided to take advantage of the fact that the studio was based in the same complex as the Big Brother house and set and tried to shout a hello to her former bandmate, Ian H Watkins.

She ran into trouble however when Big Bro security guards thought she was a crazed fan and almost phoned the policve.

A source told the Daily Star: “Lisa thought it was only a bit of harmless fun. She didn’t realise she was going to get into trouble.

“The security guards are under strict orders not to let anything affect the Big Brother house. They saw her as an intruder. Lisa was terrified she was going to get arrested and miss out on last night’s show.

“All she wanted to do was to go and give Ian a few comforting words after seeing him in tears on Celebrity Big Brother earlier in the week.

“She’s like his big sister but the security guards weren’t aware of who she was.

“Lisa was furious. But she was glad to get her skates on and get back to the Dancing On Ice studios.�

There was a time when Ian Watkins was one of the irritating blokes in between the eye candy girls of Steps. Actually, he was the most irritating bloke.

And when he went into the Big Brother house, I thought it was going to be more of the same. It was “H” for “Hyperactive”, after all, wasn’t it?

But if one celeb has changed my opinion over the course of this year’s Celebrity Big Brother, it’s Ian Watkins. It was a shame that he came fourth, but he’s a genuinely nice guy and – shockingly – I think he deserves a second chance at a TV career.

As Davina wheeled him down the gangway toward the studio, Showbiz Ian took over and he became very Saturday morning kid’s TV for a moment. Boringly, he was asked for his take on the…yawn…..Jade v Shilpa deathmatch, and why he didn’t interject and stop things. We’ll hear this at least three more times before the night ends…

Anyway, well done Ian! “H” is dead, long live “H”!

Donny Tourette: Loud mouthed prat or frightened little boy hiding behind his stage persona?

I know that Mr Tourette’s whole point of being is being debated on the forum, but I’m hoping its all an act. If he can just tone it all down a bit, he could end up being very entertaining.. and its worth hearing his foul mouthed outbursts just to see the look on Danielle Lloyd’s face.

He’s already rubbing his fellow contestants up the wrong way – I don’t care what they say in the Diary Room (its not like the real Big Brother – at this point they’re still very aware that they have to project and protect their public personas) Jermaine Jackson MUST be horrified at Donny’s antics – gobbing in the hot tub, feet on the counters, stubbing out his fags wherever he wants too (including on previously mentioned food preparation areas), weeing in the shower. Leo wasn’t overly impressed at Donny’s nakedness in bed. Danielle isn’t impressed full stop. Jo O’Meara declaring she’d sleep on the floor rather than share a bed with ’someone like that’. Ken Russell having his hair ruffled on a permanent basis.

Donny could go one of two ways. He could irritate the life out of the viewing public – and be voted out just after the vacuous Danielle.. or find his own little niche in the GBP’s heart, and be in there til the end.

But who is impressing me so far in the house? You can see all my initial feelings about them at Dreamy’s Blog.. but here’s a brief run down. Jo seems down to earth… Dirk ‘Face’ Benedict (Donny used the wrong f word there, I think) is my early winner (Ok, ok, so thats a hang over from all those pre-pubescent fantasies I used to have about him, when he was in Battlestar Galactica and the A-Team)… Leo Sayer and Ian Watkins need to chill and stop trying so hard… Cleo is marvellous – my other half shared Dirk’s sentiments about it being worth jumping in the hot tub fully clothed to have her look after him, Ken may be too quirky to come across well on the telly, which will be a shame. The rest need a little time to find their niche and settle into things.

I’m really looking forward to seeing how they get on when the initial ‘euphoria’ wears off

Gaynor Watkins, mother of Ian, better known as H from Steps, is having a hard time deciding who to vote for in this years Celebrity Big Brother.

Speaking to icWales today, Gaynor spoke of the dilemna of choosing between her son, and her all time favourite singer, Leo Sayer.

She said: ‘It’s great to see Leo Sayer in there because he’s my long-term sweetheart and I’ve always been a fan.’

When asked what she thought of the launch show last night, Gaynor commented:

‘It was strange seeing everyone go in because I kept asking myself, ‘who’s that, and who’s that?’.

‘I even had to look twice when Ian came on because his hair is slightly darker than usual.

‘Ian was also pleased to see Jo from S Club 7 in there as well because they shared the limelight together at the same time with the bands they were in.

‘I know he will also be delighted to see the actor from the A-Team in there because Ian grew up with that show and always watched it.’

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!

Ian Watkins (born May 8, 1976, in Llwynypia, Rhondda, Wales), better known as H from Steps, is a British Pop singer, one of the five members of the now defunct pop group Steps. He has said that “H” stands for “hyperactive”, describing his character. Before joining Steps, he worked as a redcoat for Butlins holiday parks.

As a result of his hyperactive, camp persona and seemingly limited contribution to the success of Steps, he was voted number 8 in a 2003 poll of the 100 Worst Britons.

After Steps split in 2001, he formed a duo with fellow ex-Steps member Claire Richards and became H & Claire. They released a few singles and then went their separate ways. He then decided to take a musical theatre course at the Royal Academy of Music. He was filmed through the course and it was broadcast as a reality TV series, H-side Story, which followed him as he tries to make a new career in acting. At the end of the course H passed his exam and graduated from the academy. After graduating from the academy H traveled to New York to continue refining his acting skills. Following his extra tuition in New York, H has successfully obtained a job on the West End, and will be touring the country starring in the production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat in autumn 2006. In November 2006, Watkins featured on the Children In Need BBC, ‘Celebrity Scissorhands’ show, where Michelle cut his hair. Currently he is performing at Preston’s Charter theatre in the pantomime Cinderella, he is playing the character of Buttons.

In early 2007, Ian Watkins came out as gay. The former Steps singer revealed his sexuality to The Sun as he prepared to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house on 3 January 2007 with 11 other celebs. Ian hid the fact he was gay from fans — even while having a ten-year affair with Steps’ male manager, saying: “I come from a small valley in Wales and it just wasn’t the thing to do to be gay. It’s a bit of a cliché — but I was the only gay in the village.”
