Celebrity Big Brother Line Up Revealed

The first reality TV show of the year kicked off on Friday night as twelve new celebrities entered the Big Brother house. As always, there had been speculation for weeks on which familiar faces we might see on our screens. As it turned out, however, there were a few surprises in store. After presenter Emma Williams took viewers of the Channel 5 on a tour of the redesigned house, the first limo pulled up. Comedian Jim Davidson was first to arrive, and he was quickly joined by, (and handcuffed to), singer Linda Nolan. Next up was Dappy from N-Dubz, who was handcuffed to fourth arrival Liz Jones, columnist with the Daily Mail. TOWIE’s Sam Faiers was joined by US model Jasmine Waltz next. They were followed by Blue’s Lee Ryan, paired with glamour model Casey Batchelor.   Another reality star was up next, as Made in Chelsea’s Ollie Locke made his was on to the red carpet. He was handcuffed to the next arrival, singing legend Lionel Blair. The final pair was made up of Apprentice runner-up Luissa Zissman and legendary boxer Evander Holyfield. As the first arrivals, Linda and Jim were given the power to release one of the other pairs from their shackles, and they chose Liz and Dappy. Naturally with Big Brother, this meant a twist – and now Liz and Dappy will be two of the four celebs facing the first public eviction on Monday.
