The new Celebrity Big Brother 2012 contestants have entered the house and modelling agency Models Direct predict fireworks early on in this series!

Playboy model twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon, glamour model Nicola Mclean and lingerie model Georgia Salpa are just four of the female contestants who have been thrown into the mix with celebrities like The Only Way Is Essex star Kirk Norcross and former controversial X Factor contestant Frankie Cocozza.

Other contestants include Natasha Giggs who famously had an eight-year affair with her brother in-law Ryan Giggs. She and Nicola McLead have an uncomfortable history since Mclead slated Natasha over the affair and reportedly stated that she and Natasha would ‘definitely’ clash if they were left in the same room. So far the girls have avoided any drama and McLead was seen to tell Giggs: “Let’s just have fun”, as they came face-to-face in the house. Guys and girls in the Models Direct offices are curious to see how long any unsaid truce between the two will last!

Natasha isn’t the only house mate to have upset McLead in the past. Current favourite to win Natalie Cassidy previously had a public row with the model over weight issues when she criticised her over becoming very underweight. McLead was quoted at the time as saying:

“She criticised my weight, even though she blatantly had weight problems. OK, she has never got as skinny as me, but I never got as overweight as her. I would never criticise someone for being fat and I don’t think someone should criticise me for how thin I was because I was ill.”

Natalie, however, has good support from the public and has emerged as favourite to win after being set an early task requesting that, amongst other things, she pester McLead, talk to the Shannon twins in an American accent and kiss Cocozza on the lips. Fans are already tweeting their affection for the star: “Natalie is such a trooper!” Stated one following her handling of directions. Here at Models Direct we cannot help being endeared to her either.

What do you think of the mix in the Celebrity Big Brother House and who is your favourite to win this year?
