Katie Hopkins is currently the bookies’ favourite to win Celebrity Big Brother, despite the fact that, when she entered the Borehamwood house, she was known as "Britain's most hated woman".

But, while she may have told the world that she is "frightened and lonely" in the reality show house, it turns out that she isn't exactly a newbie to the experience.

In fact, she has already been on Big Brother - fifteen years ago!

While Katie has kept her time on the show a secret, show narrator Marcus Bentley outed her on Twitter.

He wrote: "Katy Hopkins was a guinea pig on the first ever Big Brother! [sic]"

A show source confirmed the news to The Daily Star, saying: "Katie walked into Celebrity Big Brother last week as though she was new to the experience but in fact she's done it all before."

Photos from her time in the house have since leaked, which show a younger Katie swigging wine from the bottle and lying half-naked on a photocopier.

But it seems as if she's planning a more grown up experience this time around, as the married mother-of-three has said that there will be "no lust" in the house while she's there.

She said: Celebrity Big Brother 2015 continues tonight on Channel 5 at 9PM.

"I will throw vinegar over people's testicles or salt into openings.

"They know the cameras are there and if that is the best you've got to keep yourself on a TV programme then your armoury is pretty lacking."

Since being in Big Brother in 2000 Katie, now 39, has starred in other reality shows including The Apprentice and I'm A Celebrity.

It seems as if she's always known she wants to make it as a telly star, doesn't it?

Celebrity Big Brother 2015 continues tonight on Channel 5 at 9PM.
