The Only Way Is Essex star Kirk Norcross also went in, as well as Natasha Giggs, who hit the headlines last year following reports of her affair with her brother-in-law footballer, Ryan Giggs.

Joining them, were WAG and model Nicola McLean - who previously slammed Natasha Giggs on Twitter - Eastenders' actress Natalie Cassidy and Loose Women's Denise Welch.

Relatively unknown Irish model Georgina Salpa also entered the house in last night's show, alongside Hugh Hefner’s former girlfriends and Playboy bunnies, twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon. The twins will count as one housemate during their time in the show.
