Keith Harris and Orville have joined channel Five show The Farm.

Actress Charlene Tilton, 47, who played scheming Lucy Ewing in hit show Dallas, is also set to appear.

Other names include Emma Noble, former wife of James Major, entertainer Lionel Blair, model Emma B, porn star Ron Jeremy, and Dave Morgan, the former fiancee of EastEnders actress Jessie Wallace.

The ten celebrities, including hip-hop star Flavor Flav, Cicciolina, a Hungarian-born porn star who became a member of the Italian parliament, and Mikey Green, part of the boyband Phixx, met each other for the first time during the live launch last night.

Five's Controller of Features and Entertainment Ben Frow said: "This line-up has something for everyone.

"We're delighted to be offering such a diverse mix of people and it will be intriguing to see how they cope with the trials of farming life over the coming weeks."

The show - in which the green puppet duck Orville has his own bed - sees the celebrities face the harsh realities of life on a farm while trying to win the public's support.
