Just WHERE have you seen those Big Brother wannabes before?
MOST of the housemates have already tried to find fame... and failed miserably.
Far from being the innocents Big Brother claims, nearly every one has conned their way on to our screens.
Blonde divorced mum Lea, 35, is probably the most shameless contestant ever on Big Brother.
On The Jerry Springer Show last year she was crowned as having Britain's biggest boobs. But she had furious rows with the audience as she told them she had spent more than £40,000 on plastic surgery and bragged about her "fantastic" new size 40M breasts.
And although Lea has body dysmorphia - a mental disorder causing "imagined ugliness" - she had no qualms about starring in porn films.
She bragged in a documentary on the Men And Motors TV channel: "A friend said to me it was silly not doing porn when I loved sex as much as I do."
Meanwhile, Sezer, 26, has somehow convinced himself it's his destiny to be a star. Two years ago he was in a trial run for Big Brother before being ditched.
And he also starred in an episode of BBC Three's Diners, where he went for a meal with a blind date. A source said: "It was excruciating. He made a fool of himself perving over the girl. Naturally, she ignored him."
Nikki, 24, is also no stranger to being a twit on TV.
Four years ago on Blind Date her endless moronic chatter led her date Alex to brand her an "airhead". He added: "Everyone's got a right to be dozy, but Nikki abused it". She also did awful topless photos after a boob-job.
Mouthy Mancunian Lisa, 27, also appeared on Blind Date. But just like Nikki, her appearance bombed. She set off on a trip to South Africa with Tony Fretwell. He was so disgusted by her he begged to come home. He called Lisa "common as muck, brash and obnoxious".
Cross-dresser Shahbaz, 38, was also willing to do almost anything for fame. On a BBC Three medical show he was filmed naked having an intrusive sexual health check. And a pal revealed: "He's auditioned for BB so often I think he battered them into submission.
Wannabe Aisleyne, 27, appeared in a walk-on role in a cheap underworld movie called Rolling With The Nines starring ex-Blue singer Simon Webbe.
The blonde has also been on a date with boxing champ Mike Tyson - while her jealous gangster boyfriend is in prison.
And when it comes to failed self-promotion, Imogen, 23, is an expert. She has already starred as one of FHM's High Street Honeys and had a spell as Miss Wales.
But when she realised fame was still out of her grasp, she decided to give Big Brother a go in a last-ditch bid.
Perfect Pete, as he is dubbed in Brighton, is perhaps the only one with talent. The Tourette's sufferer, 24, is lead singer with exotic rock band Daddy Fantastic.
He is also a talented artist and has painted a portrait of The Communards' lead singer Jimmy Somerville.
Posh Grace, 20, can genuinely say she has been a model. Aged three, she posed for Marks & Sparks in a blue outfit. But a few years ago, a stab at pop fame fizzled out. She formed a girlband which failed to land a record deal. A friend said: "Basically, she can't sing."
And shy lifeguard Glyn, 18, dreams of following top DJ Chris Moyles on to the nation's airwaves. But so far the closest he's come is a stint presenting his own show on BBC Radio Wales.
