Earlier reports claimed there was ‘chaos’ in the planning of the Channel 5 reality show as a final housemate had stalled over a contract, although there is no suggestion this is Hardeep Singh Kohli.

The brother of Sanjeev Kohli, who plays Naveed in Still Game, Mr Singh Kohli took to Twitter to announce that his appearances at the Edinburgh Fringe would be cancelled due to a ‘last minute TV project’.

He wrote: “Sincere apologies for the cancellation of the rest of my fringe run.

“A last minute TV project came up.

“My profound thanks to @AssemblyFest for yet again being frightful hosts.

“And much love to those that gave me their hour. Love love.”

Celebrity Big Brother begins tonight on Channel 5.
