We've got the pics and names of the twelve "young and gifted" contestants going into this years Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack house!

There's an interesting group of professions and people in the list, not the least of which being a brother and sister who are circus performers.

This year the format is a bit strange, the celebs are actually going to be playing the part of big brother (or at least working with BB rather than let us observe them in the house) but I think that could be quite interesting. Apparently the first celeb in the hot seat will be Matt Lucas who will be in charge on launch night.

Anyway, here are the housemates:

From left to right: Nathan 21; Victor, 19; Jay, 19; Anthony, 19; Jeremy, 19; John, 20; Liam, 19


Again from left to right: Amy, 21; Calista, 19; Emilia, 18; Latoya, 19; Jade, 21

Let us know what you think of the lineup, just leave us a comment below!
