Tonight at 9pm, LIVE on Channel 4, JACKIE STALLONE became the ninth celebrity housemate to enter the Big Brother house.

Viewers saw Jackie, who is Brigitte Nielsen's ex-mother-in-law, arrive at the Elstree studios before she disappeared through those famous doors to meet her new housemates on a special live show hosted by Davina McCall.

The housemates in 'The Court of Big Brother' were ordered to line up, but had no idea they were waiting to greet a surprise new addition to the royal household.

Brigitte was the first to recognise Jackie screaming in disbelief; "Oh my God Jackie, Oh my God...how are you sweetie? This is Sylvester's Mom."


Queen Lisa then read out a note given by Jackie that announced that tomorrow (Tuesday) the nomination process will begin and the eight housemates must nominate two people for eviction. However, new housemate Jackie will be immune from eviction this week - even though, in her role as Queen Mother, she will be granted permission to influence the nominations.

The 71 year-old Hollywood astrologer and mother of Sylvester Stallone is still eligible to win Celebrity Big Brother if she remains in the house until the final on Sunday 23rd January.

Looking forward to her stay in the Big Brother house Jackie said; "It's a good excuse to stay drunk frankly for a week. I really should take three bottles of vodka, but I'm afraid I'd get an ulcer." However, it seems she will not be challenging Germaine's role as head chef; "I'm taking cooking lessons from TV and now I'm learning to make sandwiches." But she is determined to give her all; "I intend to win. I've never lost anything in my life."
