As a fan of the show from day 1 its so oddto see other people in the first BB house.

HERE are the snaps that prove Katie Hopkins has always been desperate for telly fame.

They show the loudmouth during a stint in Big Brother 15 years ago before the show's first series aired.

She persuaded producers to let her go in the house for a pilot show alongside a batch of other wannabes.

A show source said: "Katie walked into Celebrity Big Brother last week as though she was new to the experience but in fact she's done it all before."

Controversial Katie has kept her link with the show secret but narrator Marcus Bentley revealed it on Twitter.

Our exclusive photos show she was at home when it came to living – and stripping – in front of the cameras.

Since being in Big Brother in 2000 Katie, now 39, has starred in other reality shows including The Apprentice and I'm A Celebrity.
