A triple J-interest in the new series of Celebrity Big Brother, where David Gest, Nancy Dell'Olio and Jonathan Cheeban (from left, below) appear in da house for Channel 5's reality show.

Italian lawyer Dell'Olio, who first entered into the spotlight as partner of the then England football manager Sven-Göran Eriksson, was on Strictly Come Dancing in 2011. American PR man Cheeban is a close friend of Kim Kardashian.

Although American producer Gest's penchant for crucifixes will not make him a synagogue pin-up, he said in his autobiography that his parents were Jewish and he had a barmitzvah.
