What are you looking forward to most about being on Celebrity Big Brother?
"I have no expectations. I've never seen it. I'm just going to go in, do my thing, and we'll see."
What are you going to miss most while you're in the house?
"My dogs. And Dima, my assistant."
How do you think you'll get on with the other housemates? Anything that's likely to annoy you?
"I do not like people who are disrespectful. Respect is earned. I will earn it. If they don't, they will know about it."
Do you think you'll be an easy housemate to get on with? What are your strengths?
"Just be respectful and that's it. I'll just do me. I don't care about winning. It doesn't mean anything to me. I want someone to win who really cares about winning and who earns it."
What do you think you're most likely to be nominated for?
"I talked to a friend of mine who was on the show – Chuck Liddell – and he told me he got voted out real early. So that'll probably happen to me. I have no expectations. I love coming over here. I haven't been here in 8 years. Most of my good friends aren't here anymore but I love British people and British culture so I'll enjoy talking to them [the Housemates] but I have no expectations of them. We'll just see."
Celebrity Big Brother airs Sundays to Fridays at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
