Kellie Maloney is already favourite to win Celebrity Big Brother despite the fact the line-up hasn’t officially been confirmed yet.

She was apparently the most sought-after name to be signed up and has been given a staggering £400,000 to head inside the famous compound by CBB bosses.

Kellie, formerly known as Frank Maloney the boxing promoter, is said to have signed a deal with Channel 5 to appear in the show which starts tomorrow night.

She’s already been given hot odds at 2/1 to win by bookies William Hill.

Other names said to be joining her inside the house include former TOWIE star Lauren Goodger, ex-Strictly Come Dancing professional James Jordan, Benefits Street personality White Dee (4/1) !

William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said: ‘Kellie is big news for Big Brother – If they have secured her signature then this series is set to be a smash hit!’

£400,000! crazy.

[Denver]

I doubt she is going in because they said she was top of there list this summer yet she only came out as trans last week

[Brother Leon]

400k. WTF. You could of got a high profile name for that. Must be BS.

[Glenn.]

I don't even know who she is.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Hate that.

How can they even call her a favourite when they haven't seen who she really is and how she behaves?

Oh I forgot its the sympathy vote.

[Firewire]

Got it in one, cue loads of women patronisinly saying "...you go, GIRL", "Kellie is a fab WOMAN", "..girl power" and offering support they would never give a born female/ non transgendered/ cis female or whatever the PC phrase is.

The fact that Kellie as Frank discriminated against gays is conveniently forgotten.

Plus if the £400k fee is true then CBB will give Kellie a pass to final.

..I think that saying she is a favourite/the favourite is probably going to hinder her actually winning....

[Ammi]

..I always wondered if they still get a percentage of their fee if they walk...so much per day they are in the house or if they get nothing at all...

[Ammi]

..I liked the days when it was all for charity...

[Marc]

I had to google her

[alex_front2]

I think charity fee was only series # 1 for Comic Relief. Hence Jack Dee strucj a deal to have clips taken off internet and never broadcast on TV again.

With fees many celebs don't give a sh#te about winning eg Big Ron Atkinson, took his fee and got evicted early, ditto Evander.

[warrenhill]

She (he) was manager to Lennox Lewis......

[Razor]

Never even heard of her.

why all the generalisations about women? I'm with you on the last point though, i hope she is not going in now as this does not bode well for the show at all

Used to be a boxing promoter called Frank Maloney, managed Lennox Lewis

[Cherie]

I wonder if She has seen the light as to supporting UKIP, Kellie seems to have far too many skeletons in her closet

[billy123]

Maloney was a complete joke as a promoter a laughing stock amongst her peers i doubt she will be any different as a housemate.
The nickname as a promoter was the village idiot.

[Patricia4]

Im not a lover of he or she like bob said the village idiot will never change.
