BB Celebrity Hijack Housemates

A conceptual artist, a racing driver, a circus performer, a politician and a classical musician are among the 12 "young and gifted" contestants for Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack.

Seven boys and five girls, all aged 18-21, will compete for the £50,000 prize money. The series will run for just over three weeks and will feature celebrities taking over the role of Big Brother, from answering diary room calls to setting the housemates tasks. Little Britain's Matt Lucas was at the helm on launch night, with future hijackers to apparently include Arsenal legend Ian Wright Wright Wright (one for all you Gooners out there).

The 12 contestants are: singer-songwriter Nathan; circus performer Victor; fashion designer Jay; boxer Anthony; racing driver Jeremy; politician John; entrepreneur Liam; conceptual artist Amy; classical musician Calista; circus performer Emilia; dancer Latoya and beauty queen Jade. Put the pictures to the names in our gallery below.
