Best of CBB: Jackie Stallone enters the house

Rex Features

Jackie Stallone's entrance on Day 5 was the most memorable moment of Celebrity Big Brother 3. Sly Stallone's mother, who was 83 at the time, is the oldest ever Big Brother contestant and caused trouble and entertainment from her first words: "Yeah! Jackie!" She departed four days later after losing out to John McCririck in the public vote.

After much speculation it has been revealed that Jackie Stallone is the ninth housemate to enter the CBB3 house.

Jackie, Sylvester Stallone's mother, has not spoken to her previous daughter-in-law since Brigitte and Sylvester divorced. However, they will now have to live together in the already tense atmosphere of the Big Brother House.

Dressed in a cream fur coat and dark glasses and deemed to be the "Queen Mother" in the current medieval task, Jackie entered to a welcoming line-up of the house "courtiers", Brigitte being the only one to recognise her exclaiming "Jackie!!!". Brigitte and Jackie then spent a few minutes catching up as Kenzie watched on, bemused by the newcomer and awaiting an introduction.

How will Jackie's presence alter the fragile balance in the house, especially with the first round of nominations due tomorrow. Keep with DS:BB for more news as it happens.
