Born: December 11, 1974 in Epping, Essex
Best Known For: Hosting The Xtra Factor
Early-life: Benjamin Peter Sherrington Shephard was born in Essex on December 11, 1974. He has a brother and sister. He studied dance, drama and theatre arts at Birmingham University. As a teenager he loved sport, and played for South-East England's Under 16 and Under 18 football teams, and for the Senior Eastern Counties rugby team. After graduating, he spent time in France, working in a chateu. He returned to the UK and landed jobs at various production companies, before getting his big break in 1998, hosting Channel 4 series Control Freaks.
Career: He co-hosted The Bigger Breakfast and T4 on Channel 4, before signing up to ITV2's Bedrock. Among his presenting credits are EastEnders Revealed, Channel 4's Planet Pop, MTV Select with Kelly Brook and Exclusive with Lisa Rogers. As well as presenting GMTV Today and Entertainment Today, Ben also fronted the station's lifestyle series Inch-loss Beach in 2003 and took a road trip from San Francisco to LA in Ben's Road to Hollywood. He presented the ITV2 show The Xtra Factor since 2004 but quit - reportedly being angry that Dermot O'Leary was brought in to replace Kate Thornton on the main show, instead of him. He has since presented several high-profile shows for ITV and is the face of The Krypton Factor.
Quote: 'My experiences as a backpacker have taught me that decent toilet paper is a luxury you just can't afford to be without.'
Trivia: Shephard holds the world record for the most pumpkins smashed in one minute - 11.
Ollie Locke (Contestant)
Best Known For: Made in Chelsea.
Early-life: Ollie was born in Chelsea, London, in 1987. He is the son of radio presenter Sarah Locke. He grew up in Southampton and attended a number of boarding schools around the country. He moved to London when he was 19 to work as a writer and later fashion editor of a magazine in Chelsea.
Career: Over a five-year period, Locke worked at nine nightclubs on the King's Road, including Leslie Ash and Lee Chapman's bar JuJu. His big break came in 2011 when he was part of the cast of E4 reality series Made in Chelsea. During his time on the show, Locke was seen partying every night and made it his job to ensure all of his friends were having a good time. In August 2013, he confirmed he was leaving the show. In the same year, he released his first book, Laid in Chelsea: My Life Uncovered. In January 2014, he entered the Celebrity Big Brother house.
Quote: On quitting Made in Chelsea: 'I have done five seasons, I've had three break-ups, I've come out as bisexual… I've done all that and I've decided the party's over for me.'
Trivia: Readily admits to carrying eyelash curlers.
Denise Van Outen (Contestant)
Born: May 27, 1974 in Basildon, Essex
Best Known For: The Big Breakfast.
Early-life: Born Denise Kathleen Outen on May 27, 1974, in Basildon, Essex. A former child actress, van Outen went to a local dance school. After doing some modelling she began auditioning for dramas, but found it difficult to continue with her education. She enrolled at theatre school and, because her parents couldn't afford the fees, paid for it herself by appearing in small roles on TV and stage.
Career: Van Outen became a household name and lads mag favourite thanks to spells on The Big Breakfast and sitcom Babes in the Wood. Films such as Tube Tales and Love, Honour and Obey met with a lukewarm reception. Her stage work has been better received. She wowed the critics with her performance in Chicago, both in London and New York. Other West End roles include Tell Me on a Sunday, Rent Remixed, and Legally Blonde. She co-hosted Grease: You're the One that I Want for NBC in America in 2007, but was forced to take elocution lessons because the American audience did not warm to her Essex accent. Van Outen had better luck when she appeared on the panel of BBC1's Any Dream Will Do! which was casting Joseph in a new production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. She reunited with former Big Breakfast colleague Johnny Vaughan in 2008 as a co-host of the breakfast show on Capital Radio, but she quit a few months later half-way through her contract. In 2012, she partnered with professional dancer James Jordan on Strictly Come Dancing.
Quote: 'A lot of people probably think that I am outrageous in my ways but it's just fun. I often feel like a gay man trapped in a woman's body.'
Trivia: She has designed fashion collections for the website, Very.
