    With the news that Samantha Brick could be entering the Celebrity Big Brother house, we look back on previous unlikely housemates. Meet the cast...Samantha Brick, the woman who caused a stir with her 'other women hate me because I'm too beautiful' article earlier this year- is believed to be on the verge of clinching a deal to go into the Celebrity Big Brother house.

    It may seem unlikely but judging by the former contestants below it wouldn't be a big shock...

    1) Jackie Stallone

    Yeah, Jackie. The mother of actor Sylvester Stallone and 'rumpologist' (yes, she fortune-tells by looking at people's bums) was brought into the house in January 2005 to cause tension with her former daughter-in-law Brigitte Nielsen, who was also a contestant. Cringe.

    2) George Galloway

    The Respect party MP caused controversy when he appeared in the house in January 2006. His acting performance as a cat in a leotard pretending to drink milk from Rula Lenska's lap has gone down in history *shudders*

    3) Jade Goody, Jack Tweed and Jackiey Budden

    Former Big Brother contestant turned celeb Jade Goody, her partner and her mum entered the house in January 2007. Jade ended up being drawn into a racism storm due to her treatment of Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty but later apologised.

    4) Sally Bercow

    The wife of the speaker John Bercow, Sally Bercow caused a fuss in the House of Commons when she entered the house in August 2011. She forged an unlikely friendship with Big Fat Gypsy Weddings star Paddy Doherty. They later appeared in a Channel 5 'house swapping' documentary.

    5) Stephen Baldwin The youngest of the actor Baldwin brothers joined the house in January 2010. Famous for his evangelical Christian ramblings, he tried to convert Jordan's ex Alex Reid by saying it would help him become the next James Bond. Good luck with that, Reidy.
