She said she wanted to go on Celebrity Big Brother to prove that not all supermodels were stupid - but Page 3 model Lacey Banghard got off to a bad start.

Although on the surface the Page 3 Idol of 2011 looked decidedly demure as she met CBB host Brian Dowling, on closer inspection the pretty brunette had opted for a see-through black skirt and midriff baring top.

The less than demure model, who also found it difficult to explain her own job in her pre-entrance video, worked her seductive magic as she strode across the stage.

And the glamorous brunette wasn't alone as she walked onto the CBB stage with kilt-clad hunky actor Sam Robertson, 27.

On his entrance Coronation Street star Sam said mysteriously: 'I'm a proud Scotsman and I hope Scotland will be proud of me... technically I am single, I guess.'

Just after Lacey amused the live audience by saying: 'I spend most of my time in my underwear, I spend more time in my underwear than in clothes.

Sheer nerve: Lacey looked sultry as she arrived at the CBB house... but on closer inspection her outfit was completely see-through

'I've got quite big boobs... people judge me from my looks by being stupid. Sometimes I'm a bit ditzy and loud, which can be annoying. But I can be very intelligent, so don't underestimate me.'

And the page 3 girl was told she could go into the house, and not the dingy basement after Rylan Clark decided he would prefer to see the Scotsman topless, which seemed to be connected to the basement in his mind.

This means Frankie Dettori and Rylan found themselves surrounded by a bevy of beauties in the Celebrity Big Brother house after sending six stars to the dreaded basement on Thursday night's launch show.

The heartthrob of the house? Despite Sam being doomed to the dungeon, viewers took to Twitter to say he may be the hunk of this year's show

After being the first two housemates to greet host Brian Dowling, the 42-year-old jockey and the X Factor reject were told they had to decide who of the remaining 10 contestants would live in luxury in the main house and who would be sent to the relative squalor of the basement.

Being chivalrous to the end, the newfound pals sent ladies Tricia Penrose, Gillian Taylforth, Lacey and Claire Richards to live in the main Celebrity Big Brother house for the next few days.
