The ‘Loose Women’ presenter admitted in an interview with ‘Celebrity Big Brother’s Bit On The Side’ - before it was confirmed that she and Katie would be sharing a living space - that she wouldn’t exactly jump at the prospect of bunking up with the former ‘Apprentice’ candidate.

She revealed: “I have to say, when I saw it was rumoured that Katie Hopkins was in, I thought 'Ohhhh my God', because she seems that she is just not very nice.

“The thing that really irritates me about people is when they say 'I say what nobody else wants to say'.

"Well, the thing is you might do - we could all go around saying everything we think about people - but there is no skill in that. There's no talent in that. The talent is being able to be kind through whatever."

Katie Hopkins

Katie was given a secret mission upon entering the house on Wednesday night, to decide which two of her 13 new housemates should face the public vote, based on how entertaining she found them.

However, her new-found power came at a price, and she found herself put under a “curse” by Big Brother where she had to be nice to her fellow housemates… or else.

Find out how long she managed to hold her tongue for in Thursday’s ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ highlights show, airing at 9pm on Channel 5.

Originally finding fame on 'The Apprentice', Katie's big mouth and strong opinions have made her a household name in the past couple of years, as she's mused on issues as varied as childhood obesity, class and - of course - the world of celebrity, all in her typically barbed fashion.

Believe it or not, despite having apparently starred on every reality series going, Calum has never actually appeared on 'CBB' before.After a few years away from the limelight, Calum is back in the UK, but insists that despite his Lothario reputation, he won't be following in Lee Ryan's footsteps and getting involved in any in-house romances. We'll wait and see if he sticks to his guns on that one... (credit:Channel 5)

As soon as we heard the rumours of Cheggers going into the house, we had our fingers crossed that he'd be taking part - and our prayers have been answered.He's practically a reality TV veteran - even scooping a lifetime achievement award at the Reality TV Awards in 2012 - and famously stripped off to host the Channel 5 gameshow 'Naked Jungle'.

Answers on a postcard...No but seriously, Chloe appeared alongside Vicky Pattison and Ricci Guarnaccio in the first series of 'Ex And The Beach' and has been described as a Cheryl Fernandez-Versini lookalike in the run-up to 'CBB' (well, she's got brown hair, it's a start...).We're guessing she'll be the most likely to test Calum's "no romance" rule.
