Big Brother five is pulling out all the stops tonight when it reveals its latest contestants - and they are an explosive mix.

The new batch of housemates includes a Page 3 wannabe, a property tycoon, and a shepherd.

Another heading to the country's most public house is a gay man with a penchant for straight men, as well as a woman who reckons she is the cleverest contestant ever.

Along with this contrasting collective a pathological liar and an ex-Samaritan will be added, sources reveal.

An insider told The Sun: "There are more loud and opinionated characters on the show because producers want more rows.

"The gay man who only goes for straight men could find himself attracted to many of the other lads in the house.

"And the Page 3 wannabe won't be scared to show off her body."

While some contestants have said they will happily cheat to win, another looks set to set hearts fluttering all over the nation.

Leeds-born Vanessa, 26, is said to be incredibly attractive.

Not only has Channel 4 set things up for rows and seductions, they have given over a lot of time for showing it all.

There are 64 hours dedicated to the nation's favourite reality TV show on Channel 4 in the coming fortnight - almost double the amount given over to BB4 last year.
