Bobby Davro and Janice Dickinson are to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house in the first twist of the series.
As part of the UK vs USA theme, the British comedian and the American model will compete in a live showdown on tonight’s show to be named Prime Minister or President of the house.
Whoever wins will rule the house and have special power over the other contestants.
The Brits got off to a flying start last night, winning the first cannon firing task, winning themselves a party in the process.
US housemates Farrah Abraham, Daniel Baldwin and Fatman Scoop were left out of the fun, which left Teen Mom star Farrah fuming.
In the meantime, here’s all you need to know about the new contestants…
Bobby Davro
Age: 56
Who is he?: British comedian and actor.
Celebrity credentials: Was big on 80s and 90s TV for making funny faces and doing silly voices. Bobby appeared in EastEnders in 2007 and since then has taken part in reality shows such as Dancing On Ice.
Quote: “I am a bit mischievous when I’m bored. I might chance my arm with the Brits first! If it works with them, I’ll try it on the Americans!”
Janice Dickinson
Age: 60
Who is she?: Feisty 80s supermodel.
Celebrity credentials: As well as modelling for all the big designers including Versace and Calvin Klein, Janice has dated a string of celebs from Sly Stallone to Mick Jagger. She claims to have invented the term supermodel, despite Twiggy being called one back in the 60s. Janice was a judge on America’s Next Top Model and has gone on to appear on lots of reality shows, coming second to Christopher Biggins on I’m A Celebrity in 2007.
Quote: “You’re not going to see me naked even though I am a nudist at home. My modest fiance, Doctor Rocky is always getting me to button up my clothes.”
