Joey Essex and Alicia Douvall linked with Celebrity Big Brother after bookies see interest spark with punters

Other names mentioned as being contenders to take part include Helen Flanagan, Peter Andre, Tulisa, Paul Hollywood and Tamara Ecclestone

Joey Essex and Alicia Douvall are two of latest names to be linked with Celebrity Big Brother after bookies received a flurry of bets on the upcoming Channel 5 series’ line up.

The TOWIE star and former glamour model have both been given competitive odds of 5/1 to be involved in the reality show when it launches next month.

"Punter interest in Joey and Alicia has really sparked recently," said a spokesperson for Ladbrokes.

Other famous faces linked with a stint in the Celebrity Big Brother house include Helen Flanagan (6/1), Peter Andre (10/1), his pregnant girlfriend Emily MacDonagh (10/1), former X Factor judge Tulisa (12/1), Great British Bake Off host Paul Hollywood (20/1) and Tamara Ecclestone (25/1).

The Apprentice runner up Luisa Zissman has been given odds of 4/1 to be involved, even though it has been reported that the 26-year-old has been snubbed by both CBB and ITV’s I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!


Two weeks ago, a newspaper report claimed that show bosses had offered Geordie Shore’s Charlotte Crosby and footy pundit Ron Atkinson six figure deals to star in the reality series.

Lairy Charlotte has previously said that being cast on the programme would prove no problem after starring in the MTV smash hit set on Tyneside.

She said: “We have cameras filming us 24/7 so I think Big Brother will be a walk in the park.”

Loose Women star Carol McGiffin and model Sophie Anderton were also said to have signed up for the Channel 5 show – but Carol’s agent squashed the rumour that the Sunday People columnist would be taking part.

“Carol hasn’t signed up for CBB,” he confirmed.

Ron Atkinson'Big Ron doesn't know anything about it'

Similarly, a spokesperson for former Manchester United and Aston Villa boss Ron dismissed the link.

He said: "I know nothing about it, neither does Ron!"

A representative for Sophie declined to comment. Charlotte's agent said that the rumour was ‘news to her’.

All four are still considered strong contenders to take part in the show, with Ron and Carol at 3/1, Charlotte priced at 7/2 and Sophie given odds of 4/1.

Recently retired footy players David Beckham and Michael Owen have been priced as long shots to take part, with odds of 5000/1 and 1000/1 respectively.

A Channel 5 spokesman said the broadcaster did not comment on signings before the launch.

Callum Knell reckons he’s being bullied by Dexter Koh in the Big Brother house.


The pair came to blows again yesterday as the nominated housemates had to campaign for support to avoid eviction, and smear one of their rivals.

Unsurprisingly, Dexter chose to smear Callum and vice versa.

In the presidential style debate, Callum explained his vitriol for Dexter: “The emotion that comes up when you feel you've been bullied for seven weeks, or picked on or made an example of…”

But Dexter hit back: “Oh and I haven’t since the start of the show been up every week, and you're the one that says you're being bullied? When you're the one that stands up to everybody giving it all, the big I am?”

“I’m open honest and predictable,” claimed Callum, “Whereas you're sneaky, deceptive and contradicting yourself constantly.

“You're showing more of your true colours. You will stay and I will go, no issue. Batman’s nothing without the Joker, you're the villain of the piece, I'd watch you, but being on the receiving end is different. You're brilliant to watch.”

Dexter replied; “It’s not about being brilliant to watch, it’s about being true to yourself and showing raw… and exposing yourself.”

nice one edd, will be tuned in, would love to see twins go. I nearly threw myself watching gina drink the eggs last night. lol

I havent took to Tweedledee and Tweedledum.

well callum was the latest evictee. mad as a hatter. hazel lives another week and them dam twins are a curse. too many adverts spoils it with channel 5.

That's why I tape it.

Sam and Sophie’s relationship in the house is a rather peculiar one, with the pair having exchanged nominations for one another since the early weeks.

Even after the duo spend a week in the safe house, they still didn’t see eye to eye, although only recently has the tension between the eviction dodgers come to a head.

This afternoon Sophie lost it after being told by Gina that Sam was bitching about her in the bedroom over comments Sophie had made in the safe house with him.

She ranted to Charlie and Hazel in the garden: “Sam needs to get off the f**king fence and stop talking about me to people.

“Why can’t he just f**king tell me to my face? He needs to be a man, if he’s got a problem about me, f**king tell me, stop talking about me to Gina… Why can’t he just come out to me instead of being a f**k about me, going behind my back. He really winds me up.”

A few moments later, Sophie confronted Sam: “I don’t know why you’re making everything an issue, I don’t understand what your problem is with me.”

“I don’t have a problem with you,” Sam insisted, as Sophie continued to rant.

She spat: “You’ve got a problem with me. I don’t have a problem with you, I like you but it’s winding me up, it’s getting to me. You’re picking out things to make me look bad. you’ve got an issue with me Sam.”

“I have not,” Sam repeated.

“You’re trying to make something out of it Sam,” Sophie went on, “You’re trying to make an issue, I don’t have a f**king problem with you, I don’t talk about you… I don’t want to talk about you!

“It’s winding me up, and now you’re bringing Gina into it. I don’t know whether you want an argument with me but if you want an argument, I’ll have an argument.

“It’s pathetic, don’t even talk to me anymore because it’s winding me up. It’s like you’re trying to get a sympathy vote, why are you bringing Gina into it? Is it to make me look bad? It’s pathetic Sam, you’re meant to be man. It’s pathetic, it’s pathetic.”

As Sophie walked off, she sniped “F**king idiot.”

“Whatever, whatever,” Sam hit back.

friends and family nominations gave them all something to chat about. charlies friend upsetting hazel when she nominated her. lol. sam is like a lightening devil all of a sudden charging round the house letting them all know he hear's more than he lets on. still will look forward to it finishing now, I always fall out of love with it near the end. but will see it through.
