They've been in the house for less than a day but bookies are already predicting who will win the latest Big Brother.
Winner? Rodrigo
The 16 housemates in the tenth series of the reality TV show entered the house last night, all with the intention of winning the £100,000 prize.
But according to bookmakers Ladbrokes, 23-yearold Brazilian student Rodrigo Lopes is already the 5/1 favourite to win, ahead of former Mr Gay UK Charlie, at 7/1. Last night the 16 contestants, including glamour models Sophie Reade and Karly Ashworth, a lesbian punk rocker and a female Russian boxer, were welcomed in by presenter Davina McCall.

But inside the house, Big Brother revealed they were not official housemates and would only be able to access the living room, a loo and the garden. They were not allowed into the living quarters until they had done a task.
Rodrigo got the first challenge and persuaded Dubliner Noirin Kelly to allow him to shave off her eyebrows and draw a moustache on her face with a marker. Once that was done, they were both confirmed as official housemates and let into the living quarters.
