Loose Women panellist and former Coronation Street actress Sherrie Hewson and adult movie star Jenna Jameson are among the line-up for this year's UK vs USA themed Celebrity Big Brother.
US TV stars Tila Tequila and Farrah Abraham are also among the housemates in the new season, which began on Thursday night on Channel 5 in the UK and TV3.
TV presenter Gail Porter, The Bill star Chris Ellison and reformed Hollywood bad boy Daniel Baldwin also entered the house tonight, along with Atomic Kitten Natasha Hamilton, X Factor rejects Chloe Jasmine and Stevi Ritchie and former Apprentice contestant James Hill.
The A-List: New York star Austin Armacost and hip hop artist Fatman Scoop complete the line-up. Ex-Coronation Street star Hewson, 64, follows in the footsteps of her former co-star Ken Morley who had a controversial stint in the house during the last series earlier this year.
Hewson revealed: "I haven't talked to him about it but I advised him that it probably wouldn't be his thing. I think it is a difficult thing to do."
Ellison, 68, starred as bent copper DCI Frank Burnside in ITV police drama The Bill from 1984 to 2000, while Baldwin, one of the Baldwin acting dynasty, is perhaps best known for his many run-ins with the law. His brother Stephen took part in Celebrity Big Brother UK in 2010.
Mother-of-four Hamilton rose to fame with the girl group Atomic Kitten, while Tequila and Teen Mom star Abraham are perhaps more famous for their sex tapes now than their reality shows.
Gail Porter
Bookmakers William Hill are already tipping Gail Porter as the favourite to win the show, with odds of 8/1. Fatman Scoop is the rank outsider at 33/1.
A William Hill spokesman said: "Gail Porter is an obvious choice and we cannot see any of the American contestants lasting very long!"
