Martin Kemp is early Celebrity Big Brother 2012 favourite
Martin Kemp has attracted 65% worth of bets wagered on Celebrity Big Brother according to Ladbrokes.
The Spandau star may have been the last contestant to enter the house but he was immediately installed as the 9/4 favourite as female fans all over the country reignited their love for the 80s heartthrob.
Julian Clary is a strong contender at 7/2 to steal the crown from Kemp along with another former resident of Walford, Cheryl Fergison at 4/1 in the market. Coleen Nolan is also fancied by punters at 9/2, hoping sheâll be as loose lipped as she claims to be.
A single penny is yet to be staked on 50/1 outsiders Samantha Brick or Jasmine Lennard.
And with many of the housemates being famous for their lack of fidelity itâs just 2/1 that any of the celebrities do the business in the house.
Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: âKempâs the clear housewivesâ favourite. Heâs indestructible at the top of the market and it wonât be long before his odds are cut.
It looks like the celibacy rule could finally be broken this series.â

4.32pm: Rhian says she will not go to the Diary Room unless her name is pronounced properly. "Ian with an R"in case you were wondering.
4.38pm: The Situation and Julian have been called to the Diary Room...looks like there's a task afoot!
4.43pm: The other HMs have gathered in the garden, while Julian and The Situation prepare for their task
Day 2: Let them entertain you
Ejected from the garden by Big Brother, housemates de-camped to the bedoom and attempted to entertain themselves.
Martin and Cheryl kicked off with a catwalk show before Cheryl and Harvey teamed up for a freestyling session.
Cheryl bashed out the beat on the chest of drawers while Harvey rapped. Ashley took up the rhythm on the clothes rail with Martin joining him by banging on the bottom of the bed.
Coleen rejected Cherylâs offer to take over on the vocals but Ashley gave it his best shot. Itâs probably best he sticks to the Judo.
Julian stared tragically at the ceiling while Julie and Samantha kept a low profile in the corner, bonding over talk of Julieâs three legged dog.
Cheryl had more games up her sleeve, introducing Zip, Zap, Bong to those celebrities unfamiliar with the housemate favourite, before a few rounds of Fuzzy Duck and Have You Ever?
With no penalties, these games were not as gripping as they might have been, but we did learn Jasmine has used the phrase "do you know who I am." Everyone else was quick to deny dropping that line....
Julie and Samantha mused about the strong personalities developing in the House, particularly the male ones.
"Iâve got grandchildren," Julie said. "Nothing can shock me." Now thereâs a challenge if ever we heard one.
Hi there Mrs H and Erin first chance I've had of catching up, thank you both I thought the shower testing vid was v funny hopefully we'll have more laughs with CBB than BB I'm still not remembering everyone's names, especially the models, but I'll get there a good mix of people
Day 2: The Moment of Truth task
Housemates have been an easy time today but Big Brother was not going to be satisfied with 13 celebs lazing about in the garden. Thatâs right - itâs task time.
Some housemates have struggled with their fellow celebrities identities so Big Brother has decided to see if they have been paying attention by testing how well they know each other. Earlier Rhian and Danica said they were unsure as to Lorenzoâs profession and Jasmine asked Harvey if he was the only musician in the House. Fortunately Martin and Coleen were out of ear shot.
Julian and The Situation were called to the Diary Room to take the Moment of Truth Task.
In the Diary Room they have found two boards containing speech bubbles with statements and pictures of the housemates on. All they need to do is match the phrases with the celeb faces.
Simple enough but Big Brother isnât going to leave out the remaining housemates. What Julian and The Sitch donât know is that this task will not stay in the Diary Room.
In the garden are podiums. As the pair give their answers, BB will instruct housemates to stand behind the podium with the corresponding bubble. They will then be asked to place themselves behind the bubble they believe represents them.
Housemates will peel off a square on the podium to reveal whether they are correctly placed. Julian and The Situation must match every housemate and statement correctly to pass.
Currently most housemates have managed to remember everyonesâ names but could this be too much of a challenge?
Feature: What will the celebs miss most?
One of the toughest things about life in the Big Brother House, is that as well as their loved ones, our housemates must be parted from their favourite material possessions. Be it a lovely dog, a particularly good chair or a good old mobile phone, being in Big Brother is all about letting go of those home comforts and getting back to basics. Here's a tongue-in-cheek look at what we think our new celebrity housemates will miss the most...
Julian Clary
Julian recently co-starred with Joan Collins in a panto, and in our minds they hang out all the time. So we imagine he'll miss her, like, loads.
Julie Goodyear
Those BB suitcases are only so big! We think Julie will miss having an endless supply of glamorous threads.
Cheryl Fergison
Life can be tough for a vegetarian in the House: what if the rest of the housemates don't fancy ordering tofu and vege-burgers? Cheryl will surely miss being able to feed her veggie needs.
Coleen Nolan
Always ready to give out diet and parenting advice, we think Coleen will miss being a role model. Still, with not much to do but talk, there's a good chance her fellow housemates will benefit from her sage words.
Samantha Brick
Bereft of technology and communication, we bet Samantha will miss causing a Twitter-storm.
MC Harvey
There's only one clock in the House, on the cooker. We think MC Harvey will miss having a stopwatch to accurately measure 21 second intervals throughout the day.
Ashley McKenzie
We think Ashley will miss the thrill of the fight, and maybe the feel of a fresh judo robe.
Rhian Sugden
Alongside her modelling career, Rhian is a keen DJ, so we think she'll miss music the most.
Danica Thrall
An internet entrepreneur Danica is likely to miss her iPad, and her adoring fans.
Jasmine Lenard
One thing Jasmine loves, is making an impression and being noticed. On that score, we don't think she'll have time to miss anything, as she'll be too busy being a memorable housemate.
Prince Lorenzo Borghese
Lorenzo runs his own spa for pets, so we think he'll miss the smell of wet dog in the morning.
Martin Kemp
Martin will miss his GOLD! (golllld) but he probably won't miss people making GOLD! (golllld) jokes...
Mike Sorrentino (The Situation)
In the dubious British sunshine, with no washing machine, The Sitch will obviously miss his intensive GTL (gym, tanning, laundry) regimen that keeps him looking fresh and fit. At least there's a gym...
4.49pm: This is the task that the HMs are doing...The Moment of Truth! http://ow.ly/d17tG #cbb #cbbtruth
5.32pm: The Situation and Julian are wearing serious game-faces in the DR. Every now and then a lawn-based HM gets reshuffled. #CBB
5.38pm: The task reveal is happening. Julian and #TheSitch correctly guessed that Coleen made a sex tape. We're astonished.
5.50pm: The HMs have stood under their correct bubbles and are divulging the juicy stories behind the statements
6.01pm: The HMs have been told the results of the task by BB. Do you think it's been a glorious pass or a shameful fail? #cbb #guessGUESS
6.15pm: #TheSituation's talking to Rhian about Danica. He wonders if flirtiness is just in her nature or if she likes him. Wit woo! #cbb
6.27pm: London boys, Martin and Harvey are discussing the finer points of Nolan's Batman trilogy. Foxiest fanboys EVER
6.30pm: Ashley is washing clothes in the tub. His bum is out. His bum is also directed at Mike S. What is it about The Situation
Hi there Mrs H and Erin first chance I've had of catching up, thank you both
Thanks Rose

6.36pm: For those asking about #Coleen, the loose woman is having a nice chinwag with #LairyClary on the outside sofas.
6.48pm: @AntsRealityChat asked for this cheeky shot of Ashley with his bum out and we have obliged. Note #TheSituation in the mirror.
6.59pm: Extraordinary. Ashley has got his bum out yet again. This time in front of Coleen and Julian. Someone get that man a belt.
7.10pm: Prince Loz, Cheryl and Rhian have been getting to know each other while occasionally remembering to help Sam prepare a meal.
7.12pm: "How's THE SITUATION?" asks Sam as Mike enters the kitchen. We're a hive-mind joke store. Keep #TheSituation gags rolling!
7.27pm: Prince Loz and #TheSitch bond in the kitchen. They're talking about their favourite clubs in New York. We can totally relate.
