Housemates

When the official website of the series launched on 29 December 2009, it was revealed on the website, as a hint, that twelve housemates would enter the House.

This is courtesy of Wikipedia. So don't read much in to this. Thought I would share this though.

everyone knew there would be twelve because of the 12 seats at the dining table

People had been mentioning 10 in threads. Don't like? Don't Comment =). Just trying to be helpful.

I was calm I wouldn't waste anger on something so pointless. Sorry If I came across that way. Happy New Year.

People have been saying 10 because it was reported in most newspapers that the number of housemates had been cut to 10 to allow more money to be spent on bigger names.

[Patrick]

Yeah they said they were cutting back to spend more on big names.
But I guess its 12 now as no big names wanted to take part anyway so they probley thought '**** it' and just took 12 Z Listers

Its safe to say its NOT 10.

There are 12 seats at the table BUT...
ON inside BB which has been correct all the time about the number of HMs, it says, "housemates, 0/14 entered" so far... indicating 14 celebs are going in, understandable as this series is the longest (4 weeks).
