"BB MATES ARE ALL BBARKING"

BIG Brother bosses are bidding to sign Wayne Rooney’s boob-flashing cousin.

Saucy Scouser Natalie Rooney, 17, would be a huge ratings winner.

But last night insiders were sworn to secrecy over the final line-up on the show, which begins its 13-week run tonight.

All they would reveal was that there would “definitely” be a relative of a Premiership football star inside the house.

Natalie stunned her cousin by baring a breast at Coleen McLoughlin’s 21st bash.

If she makes the cut, Nat will join a lap dancer and nine sex-hungry singletons.

They are among a bevy of babes, hunks and freaks selected from thousands of wannabes for the spy-on-the-wall series. Bosses have pulled out all the stops to find a wild gang up for a summer of fun, frolics and bedroom antics.

They hope including a relative of one of the nation’s favourite football stars would mean millions tuning in to hear tales of the rich and famous.

Hiding

A show insider said: “With a link to a Premiership footballer, a former lap dancer and with most of the housemates being single, there’s sure to be someone for everyone.”

The new contestants have been in hiding at locations across Europe for two weeks in a bid to keep their identities secret.

Hostess Davina McCall, 39, will tonight unveil who has made it into the house.

But they won’t have much time to get to know each other because on Friday, Davina hosts a double live show – sparking speculation over a shock eviction.

Whatever happens Davina hopes it will be the funniest series yet.

She said: “I want to laugh, laugh, laugh this summer until I pee my pants.”

And BBLB presenter Dermot O’Leary, 34, added: “I’m looking forward to the show getting its sense of humour back, and having a bit of fun.”

IT'S A RICH MIX FOR BIG BROTHER

SOCCER ace Kieran Richardson’s gorgeous cousin will join a lap dancer, a political protester and a cleaner entering the Big Brother house tonight.

Charlie Richardson, 20, is one of 12 desperados plucked from obscurity.

Viewers will not find out the other housemates’ full identities until tonight. But The Sun can tell you Big Brother 8 will feature the show’s OLDEST ever contestant, a member of the Women’s Institute and a nanny.

The Sun can also reveal that one intelligent housemate could read from the age of TWO.

Nine of the housemates are single while two wannabes have children. Three of them have never been on a plane.

But gobby Charlie, who lives in London’s East End, already has several celebrity links.

As well as being the cousin of midfielder Kieran, 22 — who has been capped eight times by England — she is a close friend of David Beckham’s little sister Joanne, 25.

And she is believed to have had a string of flings with top Premiership players.

But housemates had better watch out for her fiery temper after she was involved in a brawl at soccer star Jermaine Pennant’s 24th birthday party in January.

Charlie was questioned by cops over a row with ex-BB housemate Saskia Howard-Clarke after two groups of girls attacked each other

Glasses had smashed against walls as girls rolled around pulling each other's hair and the floor was left covered in blood.

Saskia was hit by a flying bottle and one girl even went to hospital after a glass smashed in her face.

A string of Premiership stars — who were not involved in fighting — were witnesses to the alleged assault.

The row began as one of Saskia’s pals argued with Charlie. One clubber said: “A fight started and glass went everywhere. At least two girls were hit. There was blood all over the floor.

“They called Saskia a Big Brother reject before throwing a bottle that hit her head.

“One of Saskia's pals was cut quite badly and taken to hospital. Another had lumps of hair pulled out and was rolling on the floor with the louts.”

Saskia’s agent said at the time: “She was an innocent bystander.”

Producers will keep a close eye on Charlie — who will use the alias “Danni”. They want this year’s show to be all about “fun” and “love” — and desperately want to distance the show from the nasty race rows during Celebrity Big Brother.

They have even brought in strict new rules which will see anti-social housemates booted out immediately if they offend viewers.

The new series begins on Channel 4 tonight at 9pm.

A Big Brother spokeswoman said: “Viewers will just have to tune into tonight to find out who makes it into the house.”
