So, turns out members of two of CMU's favourite bands are among the ten celebs currently residing in the Big Brother house - Preston from The Ordinary Boys and Maggot from Goldie Lookin Chain. They join a line up which also includes Michael Barrymore, Jodie Marsh, Dead Or Alive frontman Pete Burns, Baywatch star Traci Bingham, actress Rula Lenska, US basketball player Dennis Rodman, FA affair mistress Faria Alam, and MP George Galloway. Presumably Maggot, whose opening line on walking into the house was "I'm just here to make up the numbers", isn't expecting to survive the full 21 days of the series, given that GLC are due to play at the British At MIDEM showcase in Cannes on 23 Jan! The first twist of the current series of Celeb BB is that there's an eleventh person in the house who is not, as yet, a celebrity at all - that's right, even less of a celebrity than the women whose only claim to fame is to have slept her way around Football Association. In order to avoid being kicked out on Sunday night, Chantelle from Essex has to convince the other celebs that she is actually in a fictional girl band called Kandy Floss, who had a chart hit with a track called 'I Want It Right Now'. Given how confused most contestants in the house looked as to who any of their fellow celeb housemates were, she may just pull it off. And if she does, I wonder how many pop execs out there are writing the opening lines to 'I Want It Right Now' right now - there's a one hit wonder and some ringtone sales in Kandy Floss featuring Chantelle, surely?
