The six celebrities were former New Kids on the Block member Jordan Knight, glamour model Jodie Marsh, a notable entrant in Five's Make Me A Supermodel Jasmine Lennard, comedian Syd Little, newspaper columist Nina Myskow and former Coronation Street actor Scott Wright.

Marsh and Lennard "customised" their uniforms and threw their shoes away. This was one of many rebellions with Lennard eventually being "sacked" half way through the show. She was replaced by former Big Brother UK series 5 winner Nadia Almada.
