JOHN BARNES SETS BB IN MOTION
England footie ace first man in the house
FOOTBALL legend John Barnes will be one of the first fellas to shake up Celeb Big Brother’s all-female house.
The England star, who famously rapped on hit 1990 World Cup song World In Motion, goes in tomorrow.
FOOTBALL legend John Barnes will be one of the first male celebs to enter the CBB house tomorrow night.
Presenter Rylan ClarkNeal confirmed the exEngland ace, 54, will enter the Borehamwood bungalow alongside seven other men.
Love Island’s Jonny Mitchell, the Apprentice’s Andrew Brady, Aussie drag queen Courtney Act from reality show Ru Paul’s Drag Race and US rapper Ginuwine will all join him.
There are eight women in the house as the show pushes a feminist start to the series.
Football fans hope Barnes will spill tasty secrets about his time with Liverpool, as well as his famous rap from England’s 1990 World Cup hit song World In Motion.
Affairs
The Jamaican-born ace – who won 79 England caps – is hoping to be crowned winner of CBB despite it being the show’s “Year of the Woman”.
John is leaving behind wife Andrea and their three children for his stint in the house.
He has four more children with first wife Suzy, who divorced the footballer after discovering a string of affairs.
Bookies have Barnes, who competed on Strictly Come Dancing in 2007, at 12-1 to win CBB.
Boyzone’s Shane Lynch, “Human Ken doll” Rodrigo Alves and Kate Price’s estranged husband Kieran Hayler are also tipped.
The viewing figures for Channel 5’s launch night were 2.4million – way up on the 1.8m for last summer’s celebrity show.
But Khloe Kardashian’s friend Malika Haqq was widely criticised for immediately making a mockery of the new series’ “strong women” theme during the first task.
She began whining after breaking a nail while trying to construct a fuse box during a challenge to win immunity from nomination.
While 34-year-old Malika moaned, former Corrie star Amanda Barrie and model Jess Impiazzi emerged victorious in the task.
