Celebrity Big Brother bosses are reportedly putting Ivana Trump into the house tonight. It's already been confirmed that the contestants will be joined by a new housemate tonight - and rumours are rife that it's American socialite and former model Ivana, the ex-wife of US tycoon, Donald Trump. Stephanie Beacham has already been speculating a new housemate will join the show because the group are getting along too well. She said: "I think someone really and truly troublesome will come in next." Czech-born Ivana, 60, won a multi-million pound settlement when she and 63-year-old Donald Trump split. They tied the knot in 1977 and became leading figures in New York society. The marriage hit the rocks in 1991 when she discovered her husband was having an affair with former beauty queen Maria Maples. She has had three husbands since. Ivana may be best known for the catchphrase she uttered in Hollywood movie The First Wives Club. She joked: "Remember girls, don't get mad, get everything!" Housemates will tonight perform a variety show, with Alex and Dane set to dress up as Kylie and Jason and perform their 1988 hit Especially For You.
