Eleven celebrities – some still famous, others whose stars have lost their lustre – have spent their first night
locked in a house as the latest round of hit British reality TV show Celebrity Big Brother began.
The show will over the next month scrutinise every move the 11 make, with the viewing public having the final say
about who stays and who goes in a regular phone vote.
Five-to-one favourite to win the contest is microphone-haired 1970s pop star Leo Sayer, who now lives in Australia
and was back at number one in the British singles charts last year with a remix of his song Thunder in my Heart.
“It’ll be fun and challenging, like being trapped in a lift or being taken hostage,” said the 58-year-old before
entering the house with its round-the-clock surveillance cameras.
But he will face a tough fight from US actor Dirk Benedict, 61, who is best known as Templeton “The Face” Peck from
hit 1980s television show The A-Team. He is also five-to-one to win.
Benedict, who arrived at the TV studios in a replica of the fictitious crack commando unit’s iconic GMC van and
smoking a fat cigar, said: “I expect 25 days of absolute hell. I can’t find one thing that I’ll like about it.”
Others taking part include Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, film director Ken Russell, former Jackson Five singer
Jermaine Jackson, plus a former Miss Great Britain and an outspoken newspaper gossip columnist.
Last year’s contest was won by fake celebrity Chantelle Houghton – an aspiring model and Paris Hilton lookalike who
had to convince housemates including US basketball star Dennis Rodman she was a famous face.
