One thing is for certain. One of them will be leaving on Friday!

Here's a rundown of this years contestants:

.......

Arron Lowe
This Jack the Lad has played footie with a very rich and famous player, although he lives at home with mum - aw, bless. The second person to enter, Arron says "I think I'm funny... I've been slapped in clubs a few times. I don't care. It's there loss." If you say so.

Ashleigh Hughes
This girl has 1200+ friends on FB and is the eleventh housemate to go in. She won’t squander the BBUK prize, she plans to give some to charity. She is a massive Justin Bieber fan and seems to like the "F Word". She's also from Essex. OMG!

Benedict Garrett

Conor McIntyre
Conor is the fifth housemate to enter. A model cage fighter who's likely to bare all after a drink. Alpha male skills include: can pitch a tent and campfire in 5 mins. He likes getting naked and his party trick is called the "cock watch". Watch out for that one...

Deana Uppal
She’s a pampered beauty pageant winner used to getting what she wants. How will she handle Big Brother? She has 43 dresses with her and does karate. Deena has won immunity from this weeks eviction after being chosen at random to enter the house first. However she must nominate 3 HM's for eviction live on tonight's show. Face to face!

Luke Anderson
Luke is age 31 and from Flintshire. This saucy chef admits he has a fiery temper in the kitchen, but will he handle the heat in the House? Seventh to enter the house, Born in South Africa, Luke was actually born female. Whether he reveals this to the rest of the HM's remains to be seen.

Luke Scrase
Luke is 24 and is from Stoke-On-Trent. He is a very confident ladies man who doesn’t like big people. He wants 4 kids in the next 5 years and is 12th to enter the house. He does not like fat people, but loves a cougar!

The former Playboy Bunny sells nail varnish and is the fourth person to enter the house. The Cancerian is 28 and a hula-hoop champion. Her party trick is to smoke a cigarette with her boobs and she can down 10 tequila shots in 30 seconds. She hasn’t drunk water for 6 years, but will she leave us thirsty for more?

Victoria Eisermann
