Celebrity Big Brother / Eliot Pollak / 07 January 2012 /

Want to know which D-, H- and Z-listers are in the Celebrity Big Brother house for a crack at this year's big prize? Then read on for Eliot Pollak's verdict on the early runners and riders

Natalie Cassidy [4.0]
Wide. Widely known as Sonia from Eastenders, she handled her first night task extremely well indeed. Down-to-earth, kind and probably hiding a good sob story up her sleeve if the need arises, Cassidy seems as sure-fire a favourite as an opening night has ever produced. Back her for some free money.

Kirk Norcross [7.8]
On the crest of a wave with the rest of his TOWIE mob, Kirk should do well and is understandably favourite for top male at [2.6]. He may not win the thing, but as Amy Childs advised, "Kirk - just enjoy yourself". Wise girl that Amy Childs.

Gareth Thomas [9.4]
Openly gay rugby player, soon to be immortalised on film by the putty-faced legend Mickey Rourke. One to watch and our tip for top male at [3.35], although there was something unquestionably sad watching a rugby legend shed his hard-earned dignity in one night.

Denise Walsh [6.6]
Oh dear. Really? Ulrika won though, so you never know. Dark horse.

Romeo [9.0]
Used to be 1/115 of the legendary hip-hop outfit So Solid Crew, and such has been his subsequent workload, that he thought Big Brother was the right occasion for a suit.

Frankie Cocozza [10.0]
Despite the boos and the tiresome, faux-laddish chat, it is important to realise that Cocozza was never booted off X Factor by the electorate. Who actually quite liked him. A danger man in the field undoubtedly.

Georgia Salpa [24.0]
A swimwear model from Ireland with as high a profile as all the others. BB might as well have just sent a mannequin in there to dress sluttily and be done with.

Michael Madsen [20.0]
The token Hollywood tough guy (see Baldwin, Stephen; and Jones, Vinnie from past series.) Told Brian Dowling on his way in that he expects "nothing" from the experience. Michael, you're in luck.

Andrew Stone [50.0]
Appalling fame-hungry monster. The one who isn't that Spence guy. Fodder.

Nicola McLean [75.0]
Seems to lack the sweetness of previous Page 3 totty Nicola T and Lucy Pinder. Those who remember her on I'm a Celeb (and who could ever forget...) will know that McLean is a bit of a feisty one. That never goes down well. Next...

Natasha Giggs [44.0]
Natasha has chosen Celebrity Big Brother as a forum to air her side of the tawdry Giggs affair story. What a wise platform to tell it from.

Kristina and Karissa Shannon [85.0]
Blonde 1 and Blonde 2. Hot Playmates, presumably put into the house to orbit the Cocozza nebula.
