Celebrity Big Brother's women revealed?

Former Liberty X popstar Michelle Heaton, glamour model Lucy Pinder and Shameless actress Tina Malone are among the women contestants entering the Celebrity Big Brother house, the Daily Star claims.

A friend of Pinder said that the 25-year-old has "been dreaming of this moment. She wants to make this a show to remember."

The other female CBB housemates are allegedly Britain's Next Top Model judge Paula Hamilton, who quit the profession after drug and drink problems; ex-Sugababe Mutya Buena, previously rumoured for the house; and Loose Women's Sherrie Hewson, who was declared bankrupt last year.

Liberal Democrat MP Lembit Opik, Austin Powers actor Verne Troyer and former Arsenal and England footballer Ian Wright have been linked to the reality show.

Celebrity Big Brother begins on Channel 4 on January 2.
