REALITY show The Farm revealed its bizarre roll-call of contestants last night - led by the puppet Orville.
Dancer Lionel Blair, a rapper, a Dallas actress and two porn stars will be mucking out alongside the nappy-wearing green duck.
And show bosses insisted it was Orville, who had a hit with I Wish I Could Fly, who gets top billing - not his ventriloquist Keith Harris.
Channel Five have even splashed out £1000 making the puppet a special bed for the programme, which is gearing up to be the strangest yet. Other Z-list celebrities donning their wellies include Dave Morgan, ex-fiance of EastEnder Jessie Wallace, John Major's former daughter-in-law Emma Noble, DJ Emma B, Public Enemy's Flavor Flav and Phixx boy band member Mikey Green.
Porn stars Cicciolina and Ron Jeremy and Dallas star Charlene Tilton, who was known as the 'Poisoned Dwarf' in the 1980s show, complete the line-up.
Scots presenters Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan will host the show, which kicked off last nightThe winner will bag £50,000 and the chance to revive their career.
And racy Cicciolina looks likely to grab as many headlines as last year's participant Rebecca Loos.
Cicciolina, real name Ilona Staller, proposed sleeping with dictator Saddam Hussein in 1990 and 2002 to achieve peace in the Middle East.
She loves to expose her breasts, once saying: 'My breasts have never done anyone any harm, while bin Laden's war has caused thousands of victimsFive's controller of features and entertainment Ben Frow said: 'This line-up has something for everyone.
'We're delighted to be offering such a diverse mix of people and it will be intriguing to see how they cope with the trials of farming life over the coming weeks.'
Show bosses are adamant viewers will be voting for Orville, with Keith just there to give a helping hand.
Ben added: 'You will have to see how they deal with Orville doing the tasks. He could be plucked himself if the contestants get hungry.'
Last year's show was won by Big Brother star Jade Goody's ex, Jeff Brazier, who is appearing on ITV1's Celebrity Wrestling as the Pocket Rocket.
But it was the antics of Loos, who claimed to have had an affair with David Beckham, and the verbal spat between Vanilla Ice and Paul Daniels that viewers most remember.
The celebrity farmhands will face the harsh realities of life on the farm under the expert guidance of vet Jon Huxley, farmer Ryan Hooper and his brother, Jason.
The farmhands will have to contend with the daily routine of mucking out and feeding the animals.
But they'll also have to pass group tasks in order to win treats, be completely self-sufficient and vote for the farmhand they want to put to the public vote for elimination
