Model Caprice joins C4's Celebrity Big Brother line-up

LONDON – Channel 4 bosses have signed former Wonderbra model Caprice to join 'Celebrity Big Brother' after Swedish model Victoria Silvesdt pulled out at the last minute.

Californian-born Caprice, 30, who made her name advertising Wonderbras before fronting ads for Pot Noodle, Diet Coke and more recently online gaming website ParadisePoker, is flying in from the US today to take part in the show, which kicks off tomorrow night.

She will join Mark Bosnich, who is famous for being model Sophie Anderton's ex and who tested positive for cocaine before being axed as Chelsea's goalkeeper; 40-year-old Mark Berry, who used to dance with the Happy Mondays and is better known by the name Bez; and 1980s actress and ex-wife of Sylvester Stallone, Brigette Nielsen, who has already caused a stir in US reality television programme 'The Surreal Life' by regularly stripping off.

According to reports, Myleene Klass, the former Hear'say singer, is still considering a £100,000 deal to go on the show.

Other reports have suggested that kiss-and-tell queen Alicia Douvall, who cites P Diddy, Simon Cowell and 'EastEnders' star Dean Gaffney among her conquests, and former Libertines' frontman Pete Doherty are also reported to star in the show -- although they have not yet been confirmed.

The show will be bigger than the previous two series in 2002 and 2003, with a record eight celebrity housemates, instead of the usual six. Davina McCall and Dermot O'Leary will present the show and Talk Talk is the official sponsor.
