Footballer turned actor Vinnie Jones and two ex-boyfriends of Katie Price are among the contestants for the seventh and final series of Celebrity Big Brother.
The full line-up of celebrities moving into the house was revealed live on Channel 4 on Sunday, with dance DJ Basshunter, Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss and musician Lady Sovereign among those appearing on the reality show.
Price's on-off boyfriend Alex Reid, a cage-fighter, has entered the house and will be joined by her ex-boyfriend Dane Bowers, a singer and TV presenter.
The other housemates on this year's seventh and last series are actress Stephanie Beacham, singer Sisqo, glamour model and WAG Nicola T and Ekaterina Ivanova, the 20-year-old ex-girlfriend of Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood.
Pictures of the house were released to UK press earlier this week.
The diary room has a fairground theme and its chair, which is large enough to seat two, is modelled on a waltzer compartment complete with a bar handle and gaudy patterns.
A spokesperson for the show said: "The diary room chair has taken on many guises over the different series but this one is the most spectacular yet. It is really in keeping with the show's feel that nothing is what it seems."
According to the Mirror, the house has velvet sofas, a luxurious bathroom and antique animal skulls. Executive producer Shirley Jones said the line from Dante's Inferno, "Abandon hope all ye who enter here", influenced a lot of the house's design.
Celebrity Big Brother continues on Monday at 21:00 GMT on Channel 4.
X-Men 3 star Jones is currently the bookmaker's favourite to win the final series, with Ladbrokes offering odds of 5/2.
"Vinnie looks like the perfect Big Brother star," said spokesman David Williams.
"He's got attitude, personality and is likely to shake the house to its foundations."
