Every series of Celebrity Big Brother needs a comedy character with a big personality.
So fans of the Channel 5 show will be pleased to know that TV bosses found that in Sandi Bogle, who will be tickling viewers with her fast-track wit over the summer.
But who is she? And why do you recognise her? Here's everything you need to know about the Celebrity Big Brother 2017 housemate...
Who is Sandi Bogle?
A London girl through-and-through, she was born Sandy Channer in 1965 - which, in case you haven't already figured out, makes her a VERY young-looking 51-year-old.

This is no mean feat when you consider that she's had a busy life thanks to four children and a gaggle of grandchildren, who regularly descend on her Brixton home in South London.
She has been singing since the age of five and used to perform with national treasure, Larry Grayson, at his monthly shows on the Blackpool pier.

Telly addicts will know that Sandi and her childhood pal Sandra Martin have been on Channel 4's Gogglebox since the programme started back in 2013.
She got the gig after commanding attention in a London pub, where a producer became intoxicated by her good humour.
After the show's success she went on to release a single called Casanova in 2016. Her track was a remake of the classic 1980 dance song by Coffee, which was written by Jo Amsted and Milton Middlebrook.
As if that wasn't enough, she's also the cousin of supermodel Naomi Campbell.
Has she ever been controversial?

A tad - but mainly due to a nip-slip at the National Television Awards, which left Only Fools And Horses actor David Jason in awe of her assets.
In 2016 she also went on Celebrity Fat Fighters with Lateysha Grace, Stevi Ritchie and Diags from Towie and lived on 400 calories a day.
Still on a quest for body confidence, she recently took part in ITV summer special Lorraine’s Cruise Control.
