Big Brother names leaked

Graham Norton and Dawn French are set to be housemates in the next celebrity Big Brother.

The identities of the stars was supposed to be secret until the special series starts on November 20.

But DJ Johnnie Walker let slip the news on his Radio Two show yesterday.

He immediately said: "Oops - I shouldn't have told you that. It's meant to be secret till later in the month."

Channel 4 will be broadcasting the series for ten days, with extra coverage on E4.

Les Dennis, Goldie, Esther Ranzten, Anthea Turner's husband Grant Bovey and Coronation Street actress Denise Welsh are all rumoured to be possible housemates.

Jack Dee won last year's event, in aid of Comic Relief.
