Former Conservative MP Sir Michael Fabricant, known for his bold blonde hair, was among the 13 famous faces entering the Celebrity Big Brother house last night (April 7). The 74-year-old was joined by the likes of EastEnders star Patsy Palmer, talk show legend Trisha Goddard and Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke. All were welcomed into the iconic house by hosts AJ Odudu, Will Best and a live audience.
But before Michael was booed as he walked up to the Big Brother house doors, he introduced himself to ITV viewers. From the House of Commons to the House of Celebrity Big Brother, Michael is ready to bring some mischief đź‘€ #CBBUK pic.twitter.

” However, throughout the years of being in the public eye, many have wondered if his unique hair choice is "real". The topic is something he has rarely addressed, but he previously told The Mirror in 2014 his hair was an “enhancement", sharing: “It’s a lot more complicated than that. "OK, all I will admit to is that there is some - but only some - enhancement of the follicular area.

I can show you the receipts that cost a fortune. I think the most annoying thing of the Big Brother house is probably going to be me.” Moments after stepping into the house and being greeted by the likes of Chesney Hawkes and JoJo Siwa, he was challenged by Big Brother to high-five the next three contestants who entered and say “groovy baby” to earn points.
