Other celebrity housemates unveiled included Kelly Brook's Gladiators fiancé David McIntosh, The Hills and Made in Chelsea guest star Stephanie Pratt, and Parisian reality personality Angelique 'Frenchy' Morgan.
So imagine our shock and awe upon discovering that Busey and Frenchy were once a couple!
The pair met when Busey was taking part in VH1's Celebrity Rehab and Angelique was appearing on the network's Rock of Love 2.
The 70-year-old Point Break star took part in the second season of the reality TV show, which saw celebrities being treated for drug and alcohol addiction by Dr Drew Pinsky.

Veteran actor Gary Busey is digging himself deeper into debt - his monthly expenses total more than $22,000 (£13,750) but he earns less than $20,000 (£12,500).
The Lethal Weapon star filed for bankruptcy in early February, revealing he had racked up debts of more than $500,000 (£312,500) and had less than $50,000 (£31,250)-worth of assets to his name.
Now, new documents obtained by TMZ.com, show that 67-year-old Busey, who became a father for the third time to baby Luke in 2010, is spending over $2,000 (£1,250) more than he earns to cover living expenses and daycare for the tot with his girlfriend Steffanie Sampson.
His list of creditors include the UCLA Medical Center, his bank Wells Fargo and his lawyers, while the court papers reveal Busey owes U.S. tax officials $451,000 (£281,875) from money earned between 1998 and 2009.

It was certainly a memorable "Celebrity Wife Swap" (Tue., 9 p.m. Est on ABC) when Gary Busey's fiancee Steffanie Sampson switched places with Ted Haggard's wife, Gayle. Haggard became infamous when a gay sex scandal erupted in 2006. A gay masseur alleged that Haggard had paid him for sex for three years.
While Haggard stepped down from his position at New Life Church, he and his wife did stay together, and even returned to Colorado Springs. Sampson noticed, though, that the whole ordeal still hangs like a heavy cloud over the family. She was particularly concerned about a passage she read in Gayle's book about the incident that suggested the masseur was doing the Devil's work.
She confronted Haggard for his opinions on gay marriage, and he said that while he supported civil unions, he couldn't support them being married in the traditional sense. He also emphasized the word...

In case ABC's "Wife Swap" wasn't crazy enough, they've stepped it up a notch, bringing in noted lunatic (and Oscar-nominee) Gary Busey and disgraced pastor Ted Haggard for "Celebrity Wife Swap."
Busey's girlfriend, Steffanie Sampson, who wears a wedding band because she believes she and Gary are married spiritually, swaps places with Gayle Haggard, who is determined to share her side of Ted's gay prostitute scandal.
The question of faith is obviously a focal point of the episode. Gary and Steffanie, who do consider themselves Christians, also believe in past lives (they were together in several). Gayle questions whether their belief in reincarnation can jive with their belief in Jesus. Meanwhile, Steffanie takes offense when she reads that Gayle considered the male prostitute that Haggard was caught in an affair with to be Satan.
Ultimately, the families were surprisingly amicable. Gary was uncomfortably interested in Gayle's high school extracurriculars and...

Born again reality TV fixture Gary Busey and "recovering gay" pastor Ted Haggard will swap partners for an upcoming episode of ABC's "Celebrity Wife Swap." The series will see Haggard, a former New Life Church pastor, and his long-suffering wife, Gayle, is cast in the spinoff of the ABC reality series, along with "Celebrity Apprentice" wildcard Busey and his girlfriend (and mother of his latest child) Steffanie Sampson. Blaming a sexual molestation that happened to him at age seven, Haggard was exposed in an affair with meth and gay male hooker lover. Subsequently he was booked on "The Oprah Winfrey Show." A documentary "The Trials of Ted Haggard" where he admits he is likely bisexual aired about him on...

Sometimes we have to take our little blogger porkpie hats off and bow from the waist in praise of the reality show gods, because we never would have thought to pair Gary Busy and Ted Haggard on Celebrity Wife Swap. A thousand monkeys typing for a thousand years never would have come up with that idea. Except apparently they did, and now ABC is putting it on the air.
While Busey has made a career out of reality show gigs like Celebrity Rehab and Celebrity Apprentice in the past few years, Ted Haggard is probably best known for losing his reputation as an evangelical pastor after he was found to have visited a male prostitute. Also know as reality TV gold. The real question is, why on earth would Gary’s partner Steffanie Sampson or Gayle Haggard agree to go along with it? And since they are, can we please...

Uh, so this is happening: Everyone's favorite disgraced pastor, Ted Haggard, who made Jimmy Swaggart look like a choir boy, has signed on to appear in the new ABC reality series, Celebrity Wife Swap, based on the British show of the same name. He's dragooned his very forgiving wife, Gayle, to join him in this last-ditch attempt at relevance. The news gets better when we learn that the couple Gayle and Ted will be swapping with is the beyond-freak-show Gary Busey and Steffanie Sampson, the mother of Busey's nineteenth-month-old son.

The scandal forced him to resign as a senior pastor of New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colo., and as president of the National Association of Evangelicals. Though he subsequently entered counseling and has condemned homosexuality publicly,...
