This year's housemates include 'The Colbys' star Stephanie Beacham, former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss, rapper Lady Sovereign and Ron Wood's ex-girlfriend Ekaterina Ivanova.

Completing the line-up are model Nicola Tappenden, singer Dane Bowers, actor and former footballer Vinnie Jones, actor Stephen Baldwin, cage fighter Alex Reid, DJ Basshunter and R&B star Sisqo.

Reid, the boyfriend of model and author Katie Price, denied reports that he had a fight with her ex Bowers before entering the house.

Reports claimed that the two had fought at Price's New Year's Eve party and Bowers arrived at the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house with a cut above his right eye.

But Reid told 'Celebrity Big Brother' host Davina McCall: "Categorically no. I wasn't even aware there was a fight until afterwards."

He added: "I'm sorry to disappoint you but we actually get on okay. We get on well. What you read isn't true, I'm afraid, as interesting as it sounds."

Reid also hugged Bowers when he entered the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house.

Jones is the bookies' favourite to win the series.
