Michael Barrymore, comedian -
To great surprise from most quarters, Barrymore announced that he was homosexual and split from his wife Cheryl in 1995, and to whom he had been married since 1976.
In April 2001 Michael Barrymore's home in Roydon, Essex was searched when Stuart Lubbock drowned in his swimming pool after a party. Many tabloid newspapers labelled Barrymore a murderer, and accused him of holding gay drug-fuelled orgies in his home.
Following a police investigation, Barrymore received a caution for possession and use of cannabis; no other charges were filed against him or anyone else. The inquest that took place in September 2002 reached an open verdict on Mr Lubbock's death.
Pete Burns (the various stages of), Frontman of the New Wave band Dead Or Alive -
Almost as much as his career with Dead or Alive, Burns is known for his ever-changing appearance, which he freely admits has been enhanced by cosmetic surgery.
In December 2003, the BBC apologised to its viewers after Burns swore repeatedly on its Liquid News show when asked about the Michael Jackson case.

George Galloway, MP -
Galloway is perhaps best known for his vigorous campaign to overturn economic sanctions against Iraq, and for his controversial meetings with Saddam Hussein in 1994 and 2002. He was expelled from the Labour Party in October 2003 after allegedly bringing the party into disrepute over the 2003 invasion of Iraq, when he called the Labour government "Tony Blair's lie machine" and stated that British soldiers should "refuse to obey illegal orders."

And the only "non-celebrity" (though that's dubious..) - Chantelle Houghton, who has to convince the other housemates she's in a band called Kandyfloss. No prizes for guessing who she's worked as a lookalike of.
