The horde of money-grabbing, attention-seeking celebrities are back: Welcome to Celebrity Big Brother 2015.
Katie Hopkins
You’ve probably been hiding under a rock if you’ve never heard of Katie Hopkins, and you’d definitely be happier for it. Originally famous for being a contestant in The Apprentice, she’s since converted controversial interviews into cold hard cash. Enough said.
Perez Hilton
Perez is no unknown for any fan of celebrity gossip, but for others his blog is basically a treasure chest of celebrity personal details. Of course, he’s made a few famous enemies in his line of work, but he’s also made friends, including Paris Hilton – who he named himself after. Keep your friends close, eh?
Patsy Kensit
Patsy’s best known for two regular roles in soaps Emmerdale and Holby City. She played Sadie King in Emmerdale from 2004 and 2006 and Faye Byrne in Holby City between 2007-2010. More recently, she’s made some guest appearances on Loose Women.
Keith Chegwin
Keith is an actor and television presenter, famous for breakfast television including The Big Breakfast, GMTV and Daybreak.
Calum Best
Famous for being footballer George Best’s son and a model. He’s also got some reality TV presenting under his belt, but these days, who hasn’t?
Cami Li
Cami is a glamour model who became famous for dating TOWIE‘s Kirk Norcross. I think that’s it.
Jeremy Jackson
If you watched Baywatch and paid attention to the men, then you’ll know Jeremy Jackson as Hobie Buchannon, the son of David Hasselhoff’s character. He won the part over Leo DiCaprio, who presumably would be entering the CBB house in his place had the fates been reversed. Hmm.
Kavana
Kavana is a pop star known for his song ‘I Can Make You Feel Good, ‘ which reached #8 in the UK charts in 1997. I don’t remember it either. He also failed to make it past the audition stages of The Voice in 2011 and in 2014 took part in The Big Reunion as a member of supergroup 5th Story, which included Dane Bowers, Gareth Gates, Kenzie and Adam Rickitt.
Chloe Goodman
Chloe appeared in MTV’s Ex on the Beach series, which, if you’ve never caught it, is a reality TV show where couples get sent on a nice holiday to the beach which is then spoilt by the arrival of their ex-partners, who emerge from the sea with the hope of either reclaiming their lost love or causing problems for them. Okay, really I just wanted to explain Ex on the Beach.
Nadia Sawalha
Nadia is an actress and presenter known for playing Annie Palmer in Eastenders from 1997 to 1999. She was also the winner of Celebrity Masterchef in 2007.
Ken Morley
Ken played Reg Holdsworth in Coronation Street and General Leopold von Flockenstuffen in ‘Allo ‘Allo.
Alexander O’Neal
Alexander is an American R’n’B artist who has scored two top five albums in the UK, 1987’s Hearsay and 1991’s All True Man. He actually achieved more musical success in the UK than his native US, which explains his presence on British reality shows. His single ‘Criticize’ hit #4 in the UK singles charts.
Alicia Douvall
If you haven’t heard of Alicia, you might still be able to guess what she’s famous for. Originally a glamour model, Alicia is now more famous for her addiction to plastic surgery – having had over 300 operations to fix herself up.
Michelle Visage
Michelle is a singer and TV/Radio host over in the states, famous for co-hosting RuPaul’s Drag Race.
