The first housemate to enter the house (and the eventual winner) was Chantelle, a girl from Essex and the first non-celebrity in a celebrity series. Her first task was to convince her celebrity housemates that she was actually a genuine celebrity herself – failure would have meant that she would have been evicted on Day 4. She was told to play the character of a pop star from the fictitious girl band "Kandy Floss", and that her biggest 'hit' was "I Want It Right Now". She succeeded in convincing the other housemates, and was allowed to stay. Essex is a county in the East of England. ...

On 19 January, a coat owned by Pete Burns was taken from the Big Brother house by Hertfordshire police after a series of complaints that it may be made from gorilla fur [1].

Had the complaints been true, Burns could have faced up to five years in prison and an unlimited fine under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.

In the final of this Celebrity Big Brother, there were six housemates remaining on the final day. This is a record number for the UK, including the Celebrity series and the regular series. The normal number of finalists is three or four.

Ranking of fame

On day 4, the housemates were asked to arrange themselves in order of fame from most famous to least. Chantelle had to avoid being the least famous in the lineup in order to remain. She succeeded as both Preston and Maggot ranked themselves as less famous.

There was some debate among the housemates as to whether Michael Barrymore or Dennis Rodman was the most famous, given that Barrymore is very famous in the UK while Rodman has a higher profile in the US and probably globally. George Galloway argued that Michael should be ranked first, it being a British show. He also later suggested, in a conversation with Rula, that globally he may have the most fame, claiming that most of the 1.3 billion Muslims in the world know of him. The housemates ranked themselves as follows: A Muslim (Arabic: مسلم) (sometimes also spelled Moslem) is an adherent of Islam. ...
