By By Dean Bain: During Fridays launch of celebrity Big Brother in the UK Evander Holyfield was the 12th and final celebrity to enter the house. Big Brother is one of the longest and most popular reality TV shows in the UK. They have 3 shows a year aired by channel 5, 2 celebrity versions and 1 for the general public. For the general public version the winner gets £100k prize but things are slightly different for the celebrity version. The celebrities are paid for being on the show which means if they quit at any time they lose some or in some cases all their money. This means that the producers can do anything to the celebrities and they cannot do anything about it as they are in the show for a reason, their career is on a downwards slope or they are skint

The real deal made around $230 million during his career but recently has had some financial difficulties and this is for sure a reason why he has entered the big brother house. Holyfield has to be one of the biggest names ever to have been on the show but this could end up being one of his most difficult fights in his career

Normally on launch night all celebrities would enter the house on their own but this year they have decided to have them go in as pairs. Not only this though but they would be handcuffed to each other for at least one night. Holyfield could not have been matched up with someone worse and was given Luisa Zissman who was runner up on the UK version of The Apprentice, she is known for being very wild and loving a drink or two. Already after just one night he is looking very uncomfortable being handcuffed to Luisa. Only upside he has is she is a pretty girl with a very low dress on at the moment so at least he has something nice to look at

Holyfield’s first night was not the most entertaining but he did mention Mike Tyson a few times. He had mentioned that Tyson was not as bad as he made out to be, he said that most of it was an act. He was also asked if Tyson actually hit as hard as people say and h replied “I don’t know he was never able to hit me”. Holyfield also said that Tyson was very weak to the body and that Tyson used to think that he was bigger than other boxers because he was heavier than them
