Cold porridge until BB contestants earn house rights

A FORMER rock star, two glamour models, an Oxford University graduate who lives in a stately home and a virgin are among the 16 hopefuls who walked through the doors of the Big Brother house last night.

Contestants had a shock this year – instead of enjoying designer sofas and a glamorous lifestyle, they will spend their first days living in one room with only cold porridge to eat.

Within minutes of entering the house they were told they were not real housemates and they would have to earn their status to remain in the house.
